How to Find Choppa Helicopters in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix
Missing the good old days of soaring through the Fortnite skies? The beloved Choppa helicopter had a brief appearance in Chapter 2 Remix, but there’s been some confusion about its availability. Let’s clear things up and tell you exactly what’s going on with this fan-favorite vehicle.
How to Find Choppa Helicopters in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix
If you’re searching for a Choppa helicopter right now, we’ve got some news: they’re currently vaulted in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix. While they made a surprise appearance on November 3rd, 2024, Epic Games quickly removed them through a hotfix update.
Here’s what happened: On launch day, players discovered a single Choppa spawning at the Weather Station, located in the southeast corner of the map. This location, sitting on a snowy mountain south of Retail Row, briefly became the hottest drop spot for vehicle enthusiasts. However, this appears to have been an unintended early release.
When Will Choppas Return to Fortnite?
Don’t worry – this isn’t the end of our favorite flying vehicle! Epic Games has confirmed that Choppas will make their official return later in the season. You can even spot one in the Chapter 2 Remix announcement trailer, suggesting they’re definitely part of the plan.
How to Use a Choppa in Fortnite
When Choppas do come back, here’s how you’ll control them:
| Command | Description |
| Shoot button (R2 on PS5) | Fly higher |
| Aim button (L2 on PS5) | Descend |
| Standard walking controls | Movement |
| Build button (Circle on PS5) | Boost |
| Reload/interact button (Square on PS5) | Exit |
Remember to keep an eye on your fuel gauge, as Choppas will crash if they run out of fuel. You can switch seats to use weapons, but someone must always stay in the pilot seat since Choppas lack built-in weapons, though passengers can fire from their seats.
While we wait for Choppas to return, try exploring other mobility options in Chapter 2 Remix:
- Boats for water travel
- Lowriders for stylish ground transportation
- Natural mobility features like launch pads
Keep an eye on the weekly updates, as Choppas could return at any time. When they do, we expect multiple spawn locations across the map, making aerial combat a viable strategy once again!
Remember to bookmark this guide – we’ll update it as soon as Choppas make their official return to the game. Stay tuned, and see you in the skies soon!
