- Video Clip: BF 2042: Hacking helicopter - Rao gear glitching
- Description: VIdeo shows player on the ground aiming at a helicopter at various distances with the hacking gear for specialist Rao. The HUD prompts are inconsistent and I'm not sure whether the targeted helicopter was affected at all; it can be seen activating flares, so I presume that the hack was not successful.
