===The Lost and Damned ===
===The Lost and Damned ===
In [[The Lost and Damned]], the Annihilator was given explosive shells, and the top speed is increased, albeit not very noticeably. The minigun rounds will destroy cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even other helicopters and enemy players with only a few shots. When the explosive rounds, speed, and damage resistance are all put together, this equates to an extremely deadly vehicle, especially when facing an experienced pilot.

The Annihilator is not made available in single-player mode in TLAD, as a result it can only be acquired with [[Cheats in GTA IV|cheats]], or by sniping an Annihilator pilot flying low enough that the helicopter won't explode upon crashing. The Annihilator remains available in TLAD's [[Deathmatch|deathmatch]] and [[Team Deathmatch|team deathmatch]].

The Annihilator remains available in [[Multiplayer in The Lost and Damned|multiplayer's]] [[Deathmatch|deathmatch]] and [[Team Deathmatch|team deathmatch]], and is an integral part of [[Chopper Vs Chopper]].

=== The Ballad of Gay Tony ===
In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], the helicopter remains the same as TLAD's revision, but this time it is available in single player, occasionally spawning on the [[MeTV]] building or the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era#Police stations|LCPD station]] in [[Lower Easton]]. NOOSE may now employ the helicopter's miniguns in full effect to assault the player during the missions "[[High Dive]]", "[[Not So Fast]]", and "[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]".

The Annihilator is also removed from Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch, just as Annihilators were removed from TLAD's Free Mode. When compared to [[Buzzard]], the Annihilator is not as useful, as the Buzzard is equipped with unlimited machine gun ammo along with unlimited missiles. However, the Annihilator is faster and can hold four people while the Buzzard only holds two.

* The helicopter, like all other helicopters in the game, can lose its main rotor or tail broom, causing it to either hurtle towards the ground or spin wildly out of control. Also, though very rare, the tail rotor may shatter from continued damage, causing the chopper to spin out of control.

* Although the Annihilator has four M134 7.62 NATO miniguns, each has an unrealistically low rate of fire (ROF). The ROF of all four guns firing is slightly slower than that of an SMG; in real life, each of these should fire at least 70 rounds per second, with the helicopter's total ROF being 280 to 400 rounds per second with all miniguns firing. However, when heard from a third-person view, it sounds as if the miniguns are firing much, much faster.

*In EFLC, the Annihilator appears to have exploding rounds (Similar to the AA-12 or APC's rounds).
*Oddly, the annihilator's minigun does not sounds like a minigun. It sounds more like a normal machine gun, although it has a spinning sound.{{?}}
