It is putting c4 on the drone and for the vehicles it is impossible to play it comes from behind, it collides and explodes, the players are already abusing this mechanic and it is impossible to play with the tank since the turret is slow and does not reach very high
Yeah it great. I also use the drone to take out snipers.. and even a hovercraft or two.. lol
- @mrwhiteshark haha only in Battlefield!
I don't think its abusing at all. People do the same with suicide jeeps so why not drones?
Besides, I don't think vehicles have much to complain in this game so far. Hovercrafts and tanks take a ton of RPG's to be destroyed.
- @Daeyon-be Clearly you have no experience in tanks these are made of paper and it is not the same bro I have the possibility to shoot jeeps at drones it is impossible
I have plenty of experience in Tanks to know that a few placed hits can take them out fast... The drone is just another way of doing that.
Just because YOU are incapable of destroying them, doesn't mean others can't shoot the drones. This just seems like a you-problem now.
- @Daeyon-be Because you can actually have a chance to destroy the jeep? This is just another thing they screwed up and didn't test like many other things, pretty sure the MAV could do the same thing and then they changed it, the same should happen with this.
- @xMeGaMente Sorry i desagree, this is so fun! Is more of that what we need in game.
- @lookcr Funny that if you hang around with a box of ammo and c4 a drone, lol
- @xMeGaMente I'm going to keep disagreeing, for me it has to be these things, the game already suffers a huge indetity crisis, everywhere you look there are people complaining about problems, lack of BF moments, honestly this is the least of the problems, as it is precisely an intelligent use of skill.
As a vehicle user myself I much rather die to an intelligent drone user than a herp derping rocket spammer
- @UP_Hawxxeye Wtf with people you can kill with drones you can not do anything
The technique of running a car with C4 attached to it into an enemy tank has been around for a long time.
While it had a good return in that it could destroy the tank instantly, it could only run on the ground and risked exploding itself if it was noticed and attacked by tanks or engineers first. Yes, the risk and return were balanced.Also, speaking of attacks by flying drones, BF4's MAVs were also able to roadkill enemies.
Sure it was frustrating, LOL, but the MAVs were large in size and could be destroyed quickly with gunfire. Distant MAVs could also be targeted with AA launchers. So I didn't have any complaints.What about the C5 drone? It is very small and flies quickly through the sky. It can blow up enemy troops and heavily armored tanks with a single blow. The moment they stop to ignite the C5 is the only chance to strike, and if we miss, we are dead. If the drone attack fails, the user does not die, but simply waits in the shadows where it is safe until the next drone or C5 is replenished.
Furthermore, MAVs could be shot down with AA launchers, but what about C5 drones?
The risk/reward doesn't seem to be balanced.BF is a sandbox, and I believe that fancy techniques should be allowed, but the C5 drone just seems to make other players sick.
@xMeGaMenteI don't think it needs fixing. This is simply a evolution of 'Jeep Stuff' end of the day C4/5 is sticky and a Drone flies, so it makes sense you can do this. Maybe the drone range could be a little reduced, Health reduced (a tiny drone surely can't take more than a few direct hits at best) and the enter/exit animations elongated a bit but overall I think it plays fine and isn't the easiest if your on your own (though if your with a friend with good comms its a different story..). Vehicles at the moment are way OP and this is a fairly decent counter.
Need a equipment or weapon to Anti-Drone. Laser weapon?
Or new Specialists skill can Anti-Drone?
Anti-Drone by gun shoot is impossible.
@chrilscThe friendly drones can lock on and attack the enemy drones as well as generally spot them for everyone.
Now that I understood how much spotting they can do I am always gunning down the enemy drones
- @DownrangeDuck the drones need exactly one bullet to hit for them to explode.
The problem to get that hit is that they are fast and agile.- @TrasteTh Is that a definite? I've used the drone multiple times mainly for spotting and they get shot very actively by enemy rangers, except they take at least a good few hits to get taken down. Not sure if maybe the damage is much higher from player bullets. They could definitely do with being weaker and/or larger.
- @xMeGaMente The drones literally explode after or 2-3 hits depending on the weapons used and its slow as hell.
If you let one get close enough with c5 strapped to it, then you only have yourself and/or your team to blame.
I have flown a drone with c5 in and landed in the middle of a group of 12-15 enemy players. Most of them clearly saw the drone coming, but completely ignored it instead of shooting it down before it was too late (I guess they didn't expect it to be carrying C5)
The only reason the drone+c5 trick works, is because 99% of players completely ignore the drone when it flies by them. - @xMeGaMente This is the correct way, this is how it SHOULD work.
You experience this because you stand still and camp with a tank.
Try changing your tactic. - @xMeGaMente I agree it's super cheesy. You couldn't put C4 on the BF3 drones and use them as bombs. It's super stupid they're allowing it in 2042. Drones repawn really quick and if you have some friends in your squad then it's spam time.

But people have been doing this since the beta. So either DICE is OK with it or they are once again more clueless about the game that they were developing for 3 years than players who have been playing their game for less than a weekEdit: I found one video with it
By the way, just now an attack heli came from behind my drone and colided with it and became heli barbeque. I was not even sure what happened until I saw a burning attack heli dropping from the sky
