How to Complete Choplifting
Aim the Magnet Using the Shadow
Lowering the magnet can be a bit tricky, especially when you're being shot at or are trying to stabilize your helicopter. Using the shadow is one easy way to aim the magnet, and once you're close enough it will naturally swing towards the object.
Finish Bonus Objectives
Most bonus objectives are simple to complete and provide extra EXP! So when you have time, or aren't being pursued and shot down, get some of these objectives in to level up faster!
Some Items Can Be Dragged
Soem objectives will require that the payload hits items or is flown low. One easy way to do this is by dragging it on the ground over items, hitting two birds with one stone.
Be wary that some items are fragile, so if you see their health bar depleting fast, avoid crashing.
Use Terrain to Protect Yourself
Since you're stealing these items, it makes sense that police or security will shoot or pursue you. When under fire, fly around structures or terrain to put a barrier between you and your enemies!
This works best on those on ground. If you're being chased in the air, you'll need to fly quick!
Take Care With the Payload
When the Helicopter takes damage, it tends to veer to the side randomly which can spell failure for the hustle. The payload is also heavy and will drag the helicopter down with it if you fly wrong.
You'll need to maintain balance while in the air, avoiding anything that could shift the payload too much or cause enough damage to damage the helicopter.
Dropoff Doesn't Need to be Precise
While picking up items and containers with the magnet can be a pain, the game is a little more forgiving if you drop your payload in the circle. As long as it's within the space, it'll count.
Repeat When Done
Didn't finish objectives? Feel like grinding for more cash and EXP? Then you're in luck! You can easily do all those things by repeating the Side Hustle once again.
There is no limit to the number of times you can play this out! Just look for any Side Hustle with the repeat icon and trigger it again!
