Is the Attack Helicopter in Rust getting buffed?

From the looks of it, Facepunch Studios might potentially buff the Attack Helicopter in Rust. This player-controlled helicopter can be purchased from the Air Wolf vendor in Bandit Camp for 2250 Scrap, and it is arguably one of the strongest aerial vehicles in the game.

Featuring the ability to target rockets and fire a machine gun, this helicopter can be used to absolutely wreak havoc on enemy players' base defenses and take out players while they are out roaming.

That said, players could only load either Incendiary or HV rockets into the helicopter at a time. According to the latest reports, players will not only be able to load both kinds of rockets, but the pilot will be able to access them on their own without requiring a second person on the targeting computer.

What is believed to be a little quality-of-life update can actually be considered a major buff for the vehicle. This opens up numerous opportunities for players, as they no longer need a second player to operate the offensive tools available on the helicopter.

It must be noted that these changes are currently being tested in the Rust Staging branch, and until officially released, they are subject to change. While this quality-of-life update will definitely switch up the meta in the game, we do believe some form of balancing must be implemented to prevent the Attack Helicopters from being overpowered.
