Casper Drone Nerf: Dice, we need to talk

With the last big patch nerfing c5 and the Casper drone ability to EMO burst anything at all, means finding a spawn beacon or other gadgets alone of the enemy is an "oh well, better run and gun/knife it down" situation. A well fortified enemy means hoofing it it is not going to happen to kill their damn fortifications.

I, personally, am ok with being unable to emp vehicles....I'm NOT ok with not being able to emp turrets, beacons, sensor balls, scrambler etc with the drone. Re-enable this ability for gadgets only for counter intelligence [also for enemy drones] at once. Bf2042 playerbase demands it.

If any player agrees with this reply with simply

  • @wiccanring777 I rarely play Casper BUT when I did it was only for this purpose to EMP vehicles and spot the enemy.

    They could’ve done so much with the drone but made it just useless.

    I already made a similar topic before the update.

    There was no reason to remove the ability of drones to EMP gadgets. It is a BF staple

  • Very dumb thing to remove in general why remove a core feature of a character that made them special from the others? every class can use a sniper even ones outside of recon and Casper had the ability to pause vehicles weapons/destroy gear and now with it gone bro can only fly his toy drone around and sight see at this point. if the emps were removed because it temp paused vehicles weapons then why outright remove it instead of reworking it to idk dissable vehicles for 2/3 seconds imstead of 10 seconds or have longer cool down if used on vehicles compared to redeployment devices/other devices. Or remove the ability to dissable vehicles at the most. I barley used it for regular spoting idk who would use a drone just to recon but hey I dont judge if you do all the power to you.

    Unrelated to casper They did the same thing to sundance by making her fly like shes has a broom in the bum, and straight up removing the anti armor/emp device (I forgot the name of it) before that. It feels like they're just taking stuff out in means of "fixing" instead of tweaking it

    In the case of Sundance, it was partly because she had way too much good stuff going for her and partly because one of her other two grenades, the homing one was usually either bugged or just plain bad and annoying for giving false missile warnings to vehicles.

    Even now, Sundance is disgustingly annoying in Redacted without sentinels around.

    I agree and think that the EMP feature against gadgets like the spawn beacon is added back. Perfectly happy if we can't EMP vehicles, but losing it entirely doesn't feel right and removes a bit of tactical play. 

    Just a suggestion, though  but it's better to use the 'Me Too' button rather than a hashtag. There's more chance of that being picked up on.
