Reports the current state of the Patrol Helicopter:

  • If Patrol Heli is active — current grid and how long ago it appeared.
  • If it's gone — the last-known grid plus how long ago it left.
  • The bot also auto-announces appear/move/leave events independent of this command (see Map markers).

Tips

  • Patrol Heli always spawns from one of the map edges, so the first grid reading is usually a coastline cell. Use it to predict the inbound path.
  • The bot does not track damage state — Rust+ doesn't expose it.
