Clever Fortnite Helicopter trick lets you switch to autopilot Epic GamesWanted to use Fortnite\u2019s new helicopters as a solo but not fly around like a sitting duck? There\u2019s a way to kick the choppers into autopilot, with a neat little trick allowing you to keep shooting while in flight. Fortnite\u2019s new helicopters have been a hit with players. The choppers were added to the game in the 12.20 Patch on March 17, with 11 vehicles now available around the map. The five-person helicopter obviously needs someone in the pilot\u2019s seat to achieve take-off, however, a bug has been discovered that allows players to throw it into autopilot. Reddit user \u2018Ryuzanami\u2019 highlighted just how to pull off the autopilot trick using the newly-released Proximity Mines on March 22. After getting the mine, place it on the top of the helicopter, just behind the cabin. When you jump into the helicopter, it will start to detonate, however if you change seats to be on the outside, the mine won\u2019t blow up.

However, if you want to confuse some enemies, the autopilot trick is pretty easy to pull off. It\u2019s flashy to say the least, so the style points for getting a kill would be worth it. On top of that though, the trick could prove handy for some upcoming challenges, especially if you prefer to queue by yourself. A Week 6 Meowscles challenge revolves around dealing 200 damage to players while riding in a Choppa, with this trick making life easier for solo players. Epic are yet to comment on the trick, although given how popular it\u2019s getting, it might not be long until it\u2019s patched out. Until then, you can give it a crack by dropping in one of the various locations on the map where the Choppas are found. Don\u2019t know where to go?
