Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How can I destroy the Apache helicopter?
1 of 6: The Apache helicopter will target both you and any aliens it sees.
2 of 6: Let it take out the unseen aliens on the other side of the rubble before you try to bring it down.
3 of 6: Once the firing has pretty much stopped, take out a heavy weapon.
4 of 6: Both the RPG and the alien spore launcher work well in taking out the Apache.
5 of 6: Just keep hitting it and avoiding fire from it. Eventually it will come down.
6 of 6: You could soften the thing up a bit first by running quickly out into the outdoor area as soon as you arrive to get the local voltigore's attention and to "activate" the helicopter then. Run back through the doorway you came through, and the voltigore will follow you and block the doorway. Don't attack him, as the helicopter will, and he'll probably run to return fire.
