It allows you to fly around the map, easily accessing different areas. You&#8217;ll even be able to get to them from the sky, a high vantage point, letting you land on roofs and granting you some safety as well as access to great loot on those very roofs.&nbsp;While you won&#8217;t get the item until late in the game, it&#8217;s one that you&#8217;ll want to use often once you get it.&nbsp; Here&#8217;s<strong> how to fly the Gyrocopter in 7 Days to Die<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hi3bfamn2\">7 Days to Die Gyrocopter Controls Explained<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve got the vehicle fueled up and ready to go, take the Gyrocopter out <strong>into an open area <\/strong>&#8211; you&#8217;ll need some room to get off the ground and gain momentum once you start out. Make sure you have plenty of space to get going.<\/p>\n<p>Hold W to move. Once you&#8217;ve gained momentum, continue holding W W and then tap Spacebar to get off of the ground; tap it repeatedly to fly up at a higher angle, but don&#8217;t go too high as you&#8217;ll just end up taking a nose dive. It&#8217;s usually best just to tap once, as that&#8217;ll take you to a good cruising height.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to control the Gyrocopter once you&#8217;re up in the air, so you can go the direction you want to go; just <strong>use WASD<\/strong>. Depending on which mode you&#8217;re using, your Gyrocopter will either go straight or move according to the angle of your camera, so be sure to pay attention to which mode you&#8217;re in and switch them if you need to.<strong> To land, use C<\/strong> and guide the helicopter into the ground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/GNhFRMdTpJnNLM-zur553Gdgf_3zksmoBFQwuVrHYtw\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NTZmYjMyYTc4NWZhLUd5cm9jb3B0ZXIucG5n\" alt=\"gyrocopter 7 days to die\" width=\"1024\" height=\"570\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">7 Days to Die&#8217;s Gyrocopter is one of the best mobility items in the game.
