How to get a Jet or Helicopter in the Battlefield 6 beta

Getting jets and helicopters in Battlefield 6 are your two aerial vehicle options for the beta. Although flying isn't easy, as BF6 only allows jets and choppers to spawn in some large-scale maps and certain game modes. On top of that, there's only ever really one thing in the air at a time for each team, so being able to fly in Battlefield 6 is all about who gets to them first, and knowing where and where they appear in Battlefield 6.

If you want to be ready to get to the front of the queue to fly in BF6, I can show you where to get fighter jets and Apache helicopters, as well as what you need to know about both vehicles before you access the Battlefield 6 beta.

Where do Jets and Helicopters spawn in Battlefield 6?

To get a jet or helicopter in BF6, you need to be playing large-scale game modes, like Conquest, on the Battlefield 6 maps that supports aerial combat, such as Liberation Peak or Operation Firestorm.

Under those conditions, helicopters and jets will spawn at your team's HQ periodically. Helicopters will simply appear parked and ready to fly so you can just jump in, but jets are different - when a jet is ready, a prompt will appear that states "Aircraft Available for Deployment", at which point the next player to go back to HQ and interact with the Vehicle Supply Station will be able to spawn a jet in the airspace above HQ, already in mid-flight, with them seated in the cockpit.

Players respawning from death (probably because their squadmates haven't read this guide on how to revive in Battlefield 6) can also select HQ and immediately choose to spawn in any vehicle that's currently unclaimed, including jets or helicopters.

Keep in mind that both vehicles are powerful, but hard to fly, with a serious learning curve for those who are unprepared (check the box up top for some help staying in the air). You also need to keep in mind that certain Battlefield 6 classes, mainly the Engineer, will have anti-aerial weapons designed to bring you down, to say nothing of tanks and anti-air turrets that players can operate from ground level.

Make sure that all these vehicles stay intact with our guide on how to repair vehicles in Battlefield 6! Or for those still stuck at ground level, make sure you have all the best Battlefield 6 weapons ready in your loadout!
