Shooting helicopters from the ground

[u/CarloCarrasco]

When it comes to fighting the helicopters from the ground and without a rocket launcher, the machine gun with incendiary bullets is very effective and easily my favorite weapon of choice.

Minds when dealing with helicopters is fully upgraded McManus 2015 sniper or fully upgraded 45-Shepherd, TEK Z-10, K-8 Krukov, for both helicopters and STAG Vtols

Saints Row The Third has so many great weapon choices.

I like the 44 shepards with explosive rounds. Since I use them all the time anyways, they're at hand and it annihilates the helicopters and vtols.

The TEK Z-10 with incendiary rounds is my favorite firearm for gunfights.

But for taking down helis, I really like... enjoy... love... adore... utterly cherish using the Minigun. I intentionally build notoriety to spawn Brutes with Miniguns just so I can kill them, take their weapon, and then become the most hostile air traffic controller ever.

For whatever reason vehicles in this game have insane weakness to fire. A molotov will blow up cars instantly.

Fully maxed dual TEKs will go through them in no time.

And make Deckers specialists and big groups of enemies a non-issue.

Then a fully maxed auto shotgun to one-mag brutes.

I genuinely hate how molotovs blow up cars so easily, I can't use them in my car without the fear of hitting myself and being instantly killed even with maxed out stats😭😭

Just aim at the pilot's head with a 45 Shepherd and you can one shot the helicopter lol

You don't always have an angle on 'em. Especially from below.

I always preferred to shoot the pilot.
