Modern Warfare 3: How the get Helo Hat Trick trophy in Reactor

To get this achievement, first play on Reactor. The good thing is that it’s part of the main mission. But like me, you’ll probably not do this and down the helicopter through the normal means. While on Reactor, search the map for armaments, or you can use the map below to help you find them. Try to get all the weapons and items on the map during your search. It might make things easier.

Next, for each helicopter you attack, use different armaments. So when you land, there should be a mortar strike armament near your location. Use it on the first helicopter, then on the second and third one, use something different. But remember, you need to use armaments, this means Rocket Launchers may not work. The good news is that the supply drops with the armaments are located near each helicopter.
