The Jackson Z-19 Skreemer is one of the 4 attack helicopters in Just Cause (1).

Appearance[]

The wheels are poorly arranged, so the helicopter easily falls onto its side when on uneven ground.

It has 2 seats, but you can never have a passenger. The pilot sits in the front seat.

It's obviously based on the American attack helicopter Boeing AH-64 Apache, but with a different combination of weapons and cockpit.

It's made by the fictional Jackson company.

Performance[]

It's faster than civilian and police helicopters and about average in comparison to military helicopters. It has good maneuverability and takes off quickly as well.

The windows often break when attacked by a police helicopter's machine guns, but it can survive a single missile hit. It will explode if hit by a second missile. Very rarely, the game may bug and the chopper takes multiple missiles before it catches fire.

All versions are armed with missiles that fire one at a time and machine-guns. Those missiles also reload quite fast.

The improved survivability and well rounded performance makes it a decent pick for many situations.

Glitches[]

Main article: Just Cause Bugs and glitches.

PC 360 Because of its bad wheel arrangement, it always falls tilted to one side when it spawns at the Rioja 04 "Eagle's nest" safehouse.
PC When it spawns at the Rioja 09 "Camp Altitude" safehouse, the wheels are stuck in the ground, but you can still take off normally.
