It has four side-mounted [[minigun]]s that are difficult to aim and require reloading after prolonged fire, but are hugely devastating to people and vehicles alike and are essentially supplied with infinite ammunition. Strangely, AI-controlled Annihilators never use their miniguns, instead relying on [[NOOSE]] soldiers seated on the rounds to fire on the player. A passenger in an Annihilator (or any other helicopter) can shoot an assault rife type weapon regardless if they are in the large passenger bay in the center of the chopper or in the copilot's seat. Additionally, in multiplayer mode, entering the Annihilator will cause the player to automatically obtain a [[Rocket Launcher]] with 8 rounds. | It has four side-mounted [[minigun]]s that are difficult to aim and require reloading after prolonged fire, but are hugely devastating to people and vehicles alike and are essentially supplied with infinite ammunition.

The helicopter moves faster than any other vehicle in GTA IV, but it is more difficult to slow down as a result. An effective way to slow down is to stop accelerating, pull back, and accelerate once again with the L-stick still held back, as opposed to just reversing. [[The Lost and Damned]] downloadable content, the top speed was increased and explosive [[minigun]] rounds were added, which destroy helicopters, cars, and [[Protagonist|players]] very quickly. The Annihilator is a popular vehicle in GTA IV's [[Multiplayer]] modes because of its speed, maneuverability and resistance to enemy fire. But in TLAD, the Annihilator has been removed from single-player mode and is most commonly found in [[Deathmatch]] and [[Team Deathmatch]]. The only way to obtain it in single-player mode is by [[Cheats in GTA IV|cheats]] or by sniping the pilot when you have a high enough wanted level and the helicopter isn't to high up to explode when it falls. | The helicopter moves faster than any other vehicle in GTA IV, but it is more difficult to slow down as a result.

* One on a helipad at Northeast police station in [[Algonquin]]. It is watched over by [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] officers armed with rifles, but stealing it will only earn you the usual [[Wanted Level|one star]] for vehicle theft, which can easily be evaded once you take the chopper. | * One on a helipad at Northeast police station in [[Algonquin]].
