🎮 FPV Control

Drones are controlled using a dedicated Drone Monitor.

To enter FPV mode and fly the drone, the player must wear FPV Goggles. This creates a proper first-person drone experience with dedicated controls, camera effects, and flight feedback.


🎒 Drone Inventories

Different drones have their own inventories.

Depending on the drone type, these inventories can be used for:

  • Batteries
  • Gasoline
  • Fiber-optic modules
  • Spotlights
  • Cargo
  • Explosive payloads
  • Rockets
  • Missiles
  • Drone upgrades

Each drone has its own supported items, modules, and functions.


⛽ Fuel System

Larger drones require fuel before they can operate.

The following drones use Gasoline Jerrycans:

  • LUCAS Drone
  • Geranium-2
  • Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2

Without enough gasoline, these drones cannot take off or continue flying.


🧵 Fiber-Optic Control

FPV drones can be equipped with a Fiber Optic Spool.

This allows the drone to be controlled through a physical fiber-optic cable instead of a normal wireless signal.

The cable:

  • Remains visible during flight
  • Follows the route traveled by the drone
  • Can be damaged or broken
  • Can remain visible after the drone is destroyed
  • Is visible as a spool or module on the drone
  • Can provide protection against certain types of signal jamming

Fiber-optic drones are therefore harder to disrupt electronically, but they depend on their physical cable connection.

🔦 Drone Modules

Drones can be upgraded with different modules and components.

Examples include:

  • Battery modules
  • Spotlight modules
  • Fiber Optic Spools
  • Fuel containers
  • Payload modules
  • Cargo upgrades
  • Other drone-specific components

Available slots and supported modules depend on the drone type.


📦 Delivery System

The Delivery Drone can carry an Extraction Crate underneath it.

The drone can:

  • Pick up a crate
  • Transport the crate to another location
  • Safely place the crate on the ground
  • Pick the same crate back up later
  • Fly toward specified coordinates

All items inside the Extraction Crate remain stored while it is being transported.
