RUST Mini-Copter Controls Guide

Remember Mad Max 2?

What is a Mini-copter? A propeller, a seat, a control lever, and a gas can! Yeah, it can fly and it was really a game changer for RUST once it was introduced with the Mini-copter update, allowing players to take it to the skies easier than ever before. Easy flying in a game like RUST of course has a lot of perks, you can scout the terrain, cover large distances faster and even complete some activities more efficiently. But to really master the Mini-copter pilot skills you need to be accustomed to the controls – check them out below.
