Official Workshop description
DJI-style Recon Drones:
Lightweight quadcopters used for surveillance, spotting, and precision marking.
FPV Kamikaze Drones:
High-speed explosive drones with custom aerodynamics and full throttle control.
Custom Drone Controller
Includes intuitive controls, throttle curves, and camera stabilization—compatible with mouse, keyboard, or gamepad.
FPV Goggles System
Realistic in-game FPV view with video feed degradation based on signal strength, distance, and interference.
Full Signal Simulation
Models line-of-sight, jamming strength, terrain occlusion, and RSSI/LQ drop-off.
Drones can lose video or control if too far, jammed, or behind obstacles.
Jamming Systems
Deployable backpack jammers simulate EW, degrading or cutting off drone control in proximity.
Real-Time Battery Drain
Batteries drain in real time depending on your throttle input, all you need is spare batteries in your inventory, look at the drone and replace them. Make sure the drone is off.
How To Use:
Step 1. Grab a drone, a controller, and FPV Goggles from the arsenal.
Step 2. Equip you controller in a weapon slot and pull it out, if the controller is not out you wont be able to control the drone.

Packet loss under jamming conditions.
Manual arming of the warhead.
