The new campaign brings nine missions, with playtime comparable to Chapter 1, and sends you into rain and lightning against a wider range of threats. Every helicopter also gains a unique ability inspired by its real-world role, while a new Utility slot gives pilots more ways to respond when a mission goes sideways.
