Remove the drone like you did with the shield
Just remove the from the game like you did the shield until you fix the ability to put C5 on it. It's not a "fun battlefield mechanic" it's an exploit and a bug and will only get worse as it gets m...

Please remove the ability to place C5 on drones. This is becoming really stupid, players are just 1 shotting tanks and vehicles.
This is not the same as placing the C4 on Quad bikes as there was equal opportunity and danger. That was fair.
But with drones, even if it gets shot down, the player using it is safe behind some container. But the chances of it getting shot down is low, people are flying it and can easily reach any vehicle.
Especially when playing breaktrhough, defending team can fly it near spawn and instantly kill any vehicle coming out. This is ridiculously one-sided and a complete advantage for the drone user who will at most only have his drone shot down. There must be equal chance, either tank dies or drone user dies (should not be able to be revived as he will be camping behind some container with team mates around)
Every tank is getting instantly killed and its a very unfair advantage for those using this exploit.
Please remove the ability to place the C5 on drones!
@GosBiker meeh. Disagree. People loaded up drones in BC2 just about every match. Don't really see this to be an issue in 2042.
This is just a random video I found on YouTube. You can see how overpowered this is.
- You can just sneak the drone from high ground and tanks won't even be able to aim at it
- Its a spotting drone, so it makes it even easier to even spot tanks and infantry from far away
- When the drone gets shot, nothing happens to the player. But if he gets the kill, then he gets rewarded with xp, multi-kills and vehicle destroyed
- There is no real counter to this from a vehicle driver perspective when this drone is sneaked behind or above you
- Bunch of 5 to 6 defenders (which every single Breakthrough game has) can defend an entire point with this alone
This has to be patched or removed. Its an exploit.
EA admin how do I report an exploit? I would want to report this exploit. Or can this thread be moved to bugs/exploit section of the forum for consideration?
I don't think it can be classed as an exploit.
It's a valid mechanic, allbeit and annoying one.
What about allowing a drone with one C4 on it?
That way at least a drone pilot would have to time a well executed attack on a tank with low health.
Legit questions (as I haven't played 2042 yet)
Are Drone-killing Lockables like IGLA etc. still available in this Game?
Do Players still hunt down Users of like-UCAV / RAWR / SOFLAM etc.?
Can Tank Gunners still utilize those BF4ish IR Locks to paint town-and-sky?
If the answers to these are yes , then . . .
Their work is mostly done , our work has barely begun .
. . . or not 😛
One thing seems for sure though .
Not only can I be in a good old fashioned shoot-em-up in 2042 but ,
I can also be a 'Droner' OR (maybe even AND) a Drone 'shooter-downer' .
Last question :
Is someone who hasn't played a Game yet allowed to try to coin a term in it?
:D
- @tempo_rarity No not lockable but can be shot with gun with few shots but as so small this is quite hard to do.
It's not an exploit. No need to remove it.
If you argue you can't do anything against it then shooting in the back has to be removed too.
@Reaktionslos
In its current state, this OP-V-C5 issue is a massively and gamebreaking EXPLOIT as described already. And it does not even happen on a hardcore server.
