Helicrash
Helicrash, short for helicopter crash site, is an event in Breaking Point where a helicopter crash lands someplace on the map. Helicrashes are also common to other ARMA 3 mods.
Helicrashes occur when an AI-controlled helicopter flies over the map and crash lands in a randomly pre-determined spot. Their cargo is dispersed in close proximity from the crash site, allowing players to loot the items for powerful high-tier equipment, weapons, vests and backpacks, medical supplies or other highly sought-after items.
Helicrashes emit smoke visible over long distances, and burning wreckages can cause unwary players or other entities to catch on fire as well. AI-controlled helicopters can also be identified by their use of navigational lights, making them clearly visible even in the dark of night.
Care package
Care package is a server event present in Breaking Point.
The CH-67 Huron, modernized version of the well-known CH-47 Chinook, will fly to random drop points while releasing several care package with a parachute. High-density smoke grenades will also be released when a package is released making it easier to spot them, and which players can sometimes use for concealment while accessing the landed package. It is also possible to cut off the cables carrying the package by shooting at them before the craft reaches its intended drop point.
These care packages have a unique loot table with equipment that cannot be found anywhere else, and are roughly comparable to helicrashes.
