A very helpful/useful guide for BattleBit Remastered – How to use drone in game.

So you bought your first drone from some shady online market.

Now you want to strap explosives to that flying camera and wreak havoc upon the enemy?

I’ve been strapping explosives to flying contraptions since I was a single voxel, and I’m here to help you.

Secondary Gadget for Recon Class only – Unlocked at Rank 30

So now you’ve got your drone.

What do you put onto it before flying it into the enemy?

– Place mines/explosives at the front near or on top of the camera for the easiest detonation.

– Dive into groups of enemies from above (Left Shift + W + E)

MORE EXPLOSIVES DO NOT INCREASE THE BLAST RADIUS

– Placing more mines on top of the drone increases the likelihood of detonation but WILL also negatively impact flight making your drone sluggish and harder to fly.

{Keep the amount of mines/explosives between 1-3 to avoid restricting flight capability}

Explosives

 

1. Anti-Personnel Mines

    

   – (Ideal for Solo Players)
    

   
    

   
    

   + Detonates automatically once close enough to enemy

   + Highly effective against groups of clustered infantry
    

   – Not effective against vehicles

   (Can damage light vehicles slightly)
    

   

   Placing three (3) mines across the length of the drone will increase the chances one of them detonates if your approach isn’t perfectly straight.

2. Anti Vehicle Mines

    

   – (Requires an Engineer partner)
    

   
    

   + Highly effective against heavier vehicles like Tanks or APC’s
    

   – Will not detonate against infantry.

3. C4

    

    

   
    

   
    

   (EXPLOSIVES CAN OBSTRUCT CAMERA, PLACE WISELY)

    

    

   + Effective for blowing holes in tall buildings to expose enemy positions/fortifications

   + Effective against lighter vehicles like Quads, Boats, or Cars with 3 bombs.

   + Effective against heavier vehicles like Tanks and APC’s with 5 or more bombs. (Drone will fly slower and be harder to turn.)
    

   – Wont detonate automatically, leaves your drone exposed to fire while switching to the detonator

   (Mitigated by having a partner to detonate the C4)

4. Claymores

    

    

   

   -Same blast radius as Anti-Personnel mines but significantly harder to detonate due to wires not deploying
    

   – Requires external source of detonation

   (Being shot, or setting off another type of explosive such as C4)
    

   – Don’t use these on drones.

 

Strengths

1. Identifying targets

    

   (Default Middle-Mouse click to ping)
    

   – More important than your own score is the success of the team, proper communication of targets and unsafe territory is imperative to winning.
    

   – Call out fortified positions and/or vehicles to your squad and other teammates around you.

2. Attacking fortified positions

    

    

   – Flying a drone into a window or gap between sandbags can cause havoc inside bunkers and buildings as the enemy scrambles to avoid death.

3. Attacking groups of enemies in chokepoints or isolated positions

    

   – Is the enemy pushing through a narrow chokepoint and bunching up as they revive one another?
    

   Send a drone to ruin their day.
    

   – Sniper squad ruining your fun?
    

   Ping them with middle mouse and then dive into them to force them to scatter.

 

Weaknesses

Thin Skin

The drone is very weak and will die to minimal fire.

This is before someone strapped explosives on top of it.

Your drone is a fat bird waiting to be shot out of the sky. Always be moving.

Noisy

The drone isvery loud and can easily be heard over the sound of a firefight or a vehicle.

(Though not always readily in the heat of battle)

Objective Contribution

While flying your drone you need to be in a relatively undisturbed location, this may not be inside an objective and thus you will not contribute effectively.

(Build yourself a hidey hole in the corner of a point and help prevent captures.)

Summary

• Great for clearing chokepoints
   

   

   

• VERY SQUISHY
   

   

   

• More bomb does not always equal more boom
   

   

   

• Place explosives near front and dive into enemies

 

Now get out there and teach the enemy the real meaning behind
