How to shoot down a reinforcement helicopter in MW3 Zombies

A reinforcement helicopter stays for a limited duration in the area and leaves as soon as the soldiers have left the chopper. Since the time window for you to shoot down the bird is low, I have some tips that’ll help you destroy it effortlessly.

You can obviously use your weapon and destroy the chopper, but throwinglethal equipmentlikeSemtexeswill help you disable it quicker. My favorite way to shoot down a reinforcement helicopter in MWZ is by using aLauncherlike theRPG-7andPILA, which can blow it up in two shots. I prefer the PILA as it can lock on to the target even if it’s far away.
