Flying with (on top of) the Casper drone

Just like it was before. Now I'm curious if it was intended or another bug? I didn't make a picture so you have to believe me on that. Have seen one Casper doing that multiple times (breakthrough 128 on Renewal). Your opinion on that?

@LlamaWithKatana it'll probably get fixed cause it can be used to get to places you shouldn't be able to get to. having said that, if you try to just float on it and shoot you are gonna die really quickly cause there will be no cover

@LlamaWithKatana That sounds like a bug. They patched out the MAVelator (the same thing with the recon's MAV) in BF3 so I doubt this will stay.

@Psubond true that. That player dropped down as soon as someone start to shoot. Not complaining about just. Just haven't seen in before and was a little curious what others think about it.

@LlamaWithKatana would be interesting flying to top of skybox with casper and a stinger. surprise the crap out of those pilots that like to hang out at > 400m altitude lol

@LlamaWithKatana, thanks for this - this is indeed unintentional and has been forwarded to the team to resolve in an upcoming patch. If you've got any footage of this happening, do be sure to send it through!

@T0TALfps unfortunatelly when I thought about making a capture of it the round end and I never seen it after. As I said, it was one time thing (this is why it caught my attention). I'll keep in mind to do that it I see that again)

@T0TALfps Stop fixing fun stuff omg
Like i get that it was done in BF3 due to maps not having airspace (like seine, metro, bazaar)
But 2042 has air on all maps, so it shouldn't be fixed.

@DANNYonPC I guess you would like to have the wall climbing hovercrafts back as well? And the shotgun sniper explosive round which can one-shot you across the map? And the under map invincible soldiers?

@LlamaWithKatana I saw it Friday night, called it out to my buddy and we both watched a player standing up in a drone as it lifted him. I can’t even manage to get a med pack on it!

@ATFGunr It's a bit tricky but you need to be a few steps away and aim for the back of the drone.

Unfortunately you can't stand on the drone as Casper and fly yourself around.I tried it out and the drone doesn't get off the ground.
