Fortnite Helicopter Choppa

The v12.10 update which came out two weeks ago had given some information on the helicopter vehicle that would be added to the game. A number of players have been anticipating its arrival as there are several locations including The Agency and The Grotto which have helipads built into them. This made it obvious that helicopters were going to be introduced in the game.
