Engineer drone ability is back?

I opened a sticker pack and got the engineer drone ability. But I couldn't find it in my sticker book or equip it in the customization menu. Does anyone have any info on this??

    Lots of posts about it on the reddit today.  Since the ability does not show up in the character menu, it's clearly some mistake, and I believe it's already been removed.

    There are lots of things in the game code that are not in the game.  Obvious examples are the new abilities that Rux is parcelling out - they've been in the code since the FF update.  Zero has postulated that somehow they unintentionally slipped into the sticker packs because of the current sticker shop special giving an extra sticker.  This seems like a reasonable guess.

    Might this mean that there will eventually be a drone for engineer sometime in the future?  Who knows?  It's possible.

I find it very difficult to believe that the Engineer's Zombot Drone/Rocket Drone ability will ever make a return to the series. It's just not possible. Because of his new BB Blaster, he no longer has the honour of having both abilities available at once. Therefore, the drone ability falls in favour of the Pirate class and their Parrot Pal ability, freeing up space for the Engineer to use his BB Blaster.

I believe the drones removal was beacuse of his name "engineer" where engi classes typically can plop down a turret where as he pulls out a drone

    I too had heard that the engineer drones were removed due to having the parrot for the pirate. However having 2 classes with drones on one side doesn't really matter since if you really want a lot of drones you could just use more pirates.

    I'd like to see the drones back for several purposes: 1-nostalgia from GW1, 2-the ability to use the big bolt blaster or a drone gives the engineer greater versatility and I'd like to see more of this in the GW series, and 3-I'm a big fan of more abilities for our characters.
