When equipped, it will slowly raise you off the ground speeding up until you reach a certain height, it also has a timer before you are forced to stop flying which then slowly charges over time while it's unused.
It can be very helpful in particular when it comes to traversing long areas that are accessible or areas in which are completely inaccessible with normal mobility.
- The Helicopter is the only item you cannot steal from GOATed Gas Station, as you take the skillbook instead, which have all the pages glued down. When you purchase it, Disc, the store cashier, will un-stick all the pages, giving you the Helicopter tool instead.
- If you attempt to buy the book again even after buying it for the first time, Disc will mention that you had already paid for this, and will refund you back the same amount of reputation that would've required to buy this.
- Another item also shares a slightly similar function to the Helicopter, being the Hoverboots which was a limited tool only obtainable during the 10 Million Event. It has much better mobility overall, however still suffers from a timer-based system.
- Prior to the Phone Overhaul, this used to cost 100 Passenger Reputation during its debut.
- While it exists within the code of Rider's Item Almanac, it is hidden using comments because Helicopter does not have any visual aside from dubious anatomy and physics of the player using it.
