The Visi-Copter is a device in Tools of Destruction. It is a radio-controlled helicopter[1] that can be used to attack enemies at a distance. Visi-Copters can first be acquired upon reaching Zordoom Prison, Viceron from the device vendor. Three Visi-Copters can be held at once, and each costs 10,000 bolts.

The Visi-Copter is controlled with the Sixaxis or Left analog stick. Holding X makes the Visi-Copter ascend, while holding Square makes it descend. It has a limited height at which it can fly, and will uncontrollably descend if not hovering closely above solid ground. Pressing Circle causes it to fire fusion rockets, whereas the self-destruct feature is activated by pressing Triangle. A visi-Copter can fire at most forty rockets, each dealing damage equal to 50% of Ratchet's maximum HP. Alternatively, they last only thirty seconds, and automatically explode if flying too far from Ratchet.

Unlike other devices, which are more used to turn the tides of a difficult battle, the Visi-Copter is effective at scouting out areas. To a limited capacity it can take out enemies at a distance, as other than the Alpha Disruptor, few weapons in Tools of Destruction can be used at distance before engaging in battle. Ratchet will not sustain any damage while the Visi-Copter is active, and enemies rather focus on the device, which can explode upon taking too much damage.

The Visi-Copter is similar to the Visibomb Gun in Ratchet & Clank and the Spiderbot Glove in Going Commando.
