[lloyd]

[J_Tweedy]

gotta keep moving in the boat, you get a gun mounted on it later that you'll be able to use.

 

[Salad22]

Yeah tough game isn't it? First time or what?

:smoking:

You've got to go flatchat to reach the tunnel where you meet some resistance people who will give you a gun with a bit more punch.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Drive. Boat.

 

[diluted]

I bet he ditched the boat somewhere. You need the airboat, restart from an earlier save or restart the chapter.

helicopter

there has to be a way to shoot it down cause there are crates that i can break...unless theres a big gun cant shoot it down cause i tried shooting it and it wont go down

Buddy, you CAN NOT SHOOT IT DOWN UNTIL YOU MEET THE RESISTANCE FIGHTERS AND THE VORTIGAUNT LATER IN THE CHAPTER.

I'm betting you're at the part where the floodgates close on you, and you have no idea what to do. There should be a little space where you can park your airboat. It's a little inset into the concrete wall. Park the boat there, and there should be a door with a lock on it. Shoot out the lock, or crowbar it, and go on your merry way.

Sinkoman is right, You cannot shoot the damn heli down with those pea shooters you've got. Your boat,when you do get to the next destination, will be weaponised with this powerful gun which will turn the heli into chop suey. In the meantime you will just have to go as fast and safely as you can without being killed. There is no other way. If you keep stopping you're dead before you can say ouch! I did it and I've lost count the number of tries I had to do. It was orgasmic when I managed to shoot this bird down. Don't give up; take a break and have a cup of tea. This is only one of many frustrating bits. Good luck.
