Casper drone can't EMP

Hi, I've noticed this issue on both versions of the Playstation edition of BF2042 since a few updates back.

I thought this was an intentional disable as a "nerf", but the more I look at Casper's descriptions and the drone's UI it seems more like an unintentional bug.

All the descriptions and the UI still suggests that his drone should be able to use the EMP, but there is no lock-on when I try to use it.

This issue makes Casper's drone just a glorified spotter, please fix this as soon as you are able to.

Best regards,

Geronimode

  • Hi geronimode12​,

    The EMP ability was removed entirely in a past update, but has somewhat been added back now. However, it only works on gadgets and equipment.

    Edit: this thread has a link to the patch notes: 

    Casper's drone EMP makes a comeback !! | EA Forums - 12192498 

    This is the relevant part of the notes:

    "With this update, we are bringing back the EMP; however, it will only be able to interact with and destroy enemy gadgets and equipment. The ability is not designed to interact with vehicles."

    If you want to check if it's working, try finding something like an enemy spawn beacon and see if you can lock on.
