🎮 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.
