Drones are useless

Alright, ima start this off by saying that the title is kinda clickbait, kinda not.

The drone is quite useful against enemy players, as they might have a hard time noticing it, dont react instantly to it, etc.

the drone becomes useless against AI, however, as they aimbot the drone in a milliseconds time. if you dare get a line of sight on an enemy AI, your drone is as good as dead.

the AI instantly lock onto the drone and shoot it down before you can even comprehend whats happening.

They are quite simply aimbots. REAL players MISS. REAL players DONT react instantly to threats. Drones are completely worthless against AI

    To be fair this is a problem with all ai, they dont represent realistic aim. they aimbot everything. they rarely miss, and fail to actually simulate how a real person might, y'know, not be an elite sniper while using a full auto character.

    @Mysterymaster_OP I agree so so much with this. I use my drone sooo much in pvp and I wish I could use it more in ops, private, or pve play, but the bot's aim is just too good and garlic drone's survivability is out the window. I really hope the devs do something about this soon. Also, tv heads in giddy park can straight up snipe the drones too, so I guess theyre not even safe in pvp.

    @Gormey 80's AI using rocket ride from across the map just to vanquish your drone is also a good one I encounter frequently.

    @Mysterymaster_OP Drones would be useful for PvE regions to scout out collectibles but everytime I use them they literally disappear. Exactly why AI have aimbot against five hit point drones are beyond me.
    Another problem I have with them is how their movement feels weird compared to the previous games.

    Drones are kind of bad, their shots travel kind of slowly and they are a bit too slow too. I liked that in bfn you can easily control your drone and zoom to aim, just think they should be a bit faster.

    I cannot do anything with Drones in any mode. Because either an Al instantly destroys it, a player finds, I move too slowly or I keep missing my shots. I almost never get to use Big Bulb Barrage or Eggsplosion on my Drones, because they do not last that long. To try and use them, I have to wait for it to recharge, come out and then attack and hope it does not get destroyed in the process of the ability resolving.

    I only tend to use Drones when my health gets low, I have retreated and I am waiting to heal, they don’t tend to last long anyway.
