Helicopters in Call of Duty: Warzone can be a great tool for travel or a lethal weapon to those who get caught in their blades. While using a helicopter as a weapon does come with its challenges, many Warzone fans still attempt to catch the occasional player off guard with a frontal assault of passive drift.
Still, most helicopter deaths in Warzone are a result of overly ambitious players who are attempting to kill. When this fan got into the helicopter, though, killing was most likely the last thing on his mind. With the zone closing in and decisions slim, he still chose to get into the vehicle with this unexpected result.
After securing the roof in Warzone, fan Gardenalle turned to take off in a nearby helicopter. As they slowly rose up they realized that the propeller blade was stuck to the adjacent helicopter. So, as the helicopter continued to rise, it slowly turned sideways as the mesh attempted to disconnect from the nearby object. Slowly, and against all odds, a player parachuted towards the spinning blade and turned quickly into a red mist right in front of Gardenalle. No fight, damage, or anything left over other than their gear, which dropped promptly to the ground below. The chances of a player colliding with the propellers at that exact moment are so small, yet video evidence shows that this random player did in fact die in the most unusual fashion.
The details as to how either of the helicopters ended up on the roof or where the rest of his squad is remains unknown. Although he did score a rather strange and odd kill, it probably did not make that big of a difference to the overall match. Based on the timer and number of players left alive, this clip was probably captured in the beginning stages of the round.
It is odd, however, that the player would simply drift into the helicopter blades. It can be assumed that they were landing with the intent of stealing a helicopter, but the angle of the parachute along with the speed makes it seem as if they had other strange plans.
Still, this just goes to show that fans should not land anywhere near moving Warzone helicopter blades. Due to the speed that they spin, it can become difficult to tell where they end, making any jump near a helicopter a risky one.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
