The CS Navajo is an attack helicopter in Just Cause 3.

Description[]

In terms of appearance, the Navajo resembles a full-purpose attack helicopter, similar the real world Agusta A129 Mangusta on the fuselage, the Eurocopter Tiger for the rear, and Boeing AH-64 Apache for the single-canopy cockpit and various other bits.

Wrecked versions always come with the "MAF07" identification tag, while on the functional vehicle it is randomized, chosen between MAF07, MAF12, MAF22, MAF26, MAF43, MAF57 and MAF83.

The Rebel drop description says "Capstone's assault chopper combines speed, power, and versatility, offering two missile types: the rapid-strike 64 Volcanus and the punishing 99 Vindicator"

Performance[]

It's armed with "missiles" and "heavy missile", which can take down small military settlements in seconds or do heavy damage to larger settlements.

The Navajo has decent speed of up to 243 km/h and decent maneuverability for a heavy assault helicopter. It can even dodge some SAMs if the pilot is skilled enough. The player must be careful on landing however as the helicopter is very fragile. Due to the high speed, decent agility and heavy armament, the CS Navajo will easily level an outpost or small base to the ground in a few strafing runs. As advised by one of the game's loading screen text options: Remember to try out all the different weapons on an armed vehicle.

The Navajo's heavy missiles are the most powerful of any non-bavarium explosives in the game, able to destroy almost every vehicle in the game with one round at the expense of a longer reload and slower projectile speed than the standard missiles.

Locations[]

Medici Military[]

The Rebellion[]

  • Unlocked after liberating Puncta Sud.
  • At the same numerous military bases and outposts across Medici, after liberating the settlements.
    • On some occasions, the Navajo might be replaced with other military helicopters.
  • You might be tasked to deliver one of these for the "Smuggler's Run" Random Encounter. Regardless of failure or not, it can usually be kept.

Black Hand[]

This variant only exists in the Mech Land Assault and Bavarium Sea Heist expansion pack, and cannot be seen in the base game.

Wrecks[]

Strangely, these all seem to have MAF07 on them with no other number. The tail boom of the wrecks can be moved independently from the fuselage, however it can not be detached.

Trivia[]

  • It is manufactured by the fictional company Capstone.
  • In early promotional materials, it was called "CS Assault Chopper", presumably a placeholder name.
  • The name "Navajo" could be a reference to the U.S. Army custom of naming helicopters after Native American tribes. Real life helicopters with Native American names include the Boeing AH-64 Apache, UH-72 Lakota, OH-58 Kiowa, CH-47 Chinook, and many others.
  • In the "Kasabian Trailer", the CS Navajo is depicted with a machine gun instead of just a light on the front.
  • In early concept artwork, the Navajo is identical to the Eurocopter Tiger (see gallery below). The in-game model is slightly different, as it takes inspiration from other real life attack helicopters as well.
  • Its weapon HUD icons are reused from the U-7 Dravec.
  • The Heavy Missiles' pod models are reused for the Urga Mstitel.
  • As a medium attack helicopter, it can be considered the spiritual successor to the Jackson Z-19 Skreemer from Just Cause and Sivirkin 15 Havoc from Just Cause 2 as well as the spiritual predecessor to the Spectre Attack Heli in Just Cause 4.
  • There is a small warning label on the nose serving as an easter egg. It reads "ATTENTION, PLEASE NOTE: YOUR NOTING OF THIS SIGN HAS BEEN DULY NOTED". This parodies the warning labels on some real-life aircraft in regards to certain vital components.
