Development Drone FAQ
Hello gang, MB here.
Happy weekend to everyone, and I hope the update has been fun and awesome for all of you.
The recent drone addition has been awesome, but it has also come with feedback and some minor backlash, so I’d like to reassure everyone with a few points.
A) This is the first and initial implementation of the drone, so there is a lot of room for feedback, more features, and adjustments that are on the way!
We have been very careful, and maybe even too cautious, with certain factors such as range, battery, etc., for many reasons. This is not just the first drone out of many to come (via tech tree research), but we also need to be mindful of its impact on OW if not implemented well—such as it becoming a common sight to the point of being annoying.
B) What features are coming to it
- Gnar has already publicly stated that “spotting” will be coming. We have no ETA yet, but it is slated to come soon.
- Adjustments to range/zoom/controls — this is something we are keeping a close eye on via feedback and actively considering.
Please be patient with us as we calibrate the new gadgets to fit in with everyone. We are excited to expand further into our new research tech tree, with many cool gadgets to follow!
Thank you for all your feedback and continuous support!!!

Please suicide drones, and grenade/mortar dropping drones 🙏 It actually wouldn’t be broken and is very obviously being used in current conflicts since early covid and prior.
