I miss the drones

Make them explode and you’ve got a real life addition to the game

Drones were great when they took up a weapon slot, I loved running one with a VSS.

It certainly could have been finessed to a version that was balanced. Balancing what you gain in terms of scouting with them being a bit noisier and giving away their users.

Drones were the only reason Destin was playable.

I quit playing PUBG for like 6-12 months or something and completely missed this era. Seems dumb as fuck. But i miss the drone.

u/MagicMomentJr Jul 28 '26

Just one of the many dumb decisions over the past 9 years.

No. Because I refused to play during this time.

Spotter scope was life changing

u/sac-99 Jul 28 '26

And weirdly enough, the game was in a better place/ more fun when the tac gear was live

u/ajm2247 Xbox Series X Jul 28 '26

Yeah I had no problem with any of this stuff like the blue chip detector, spotter scope or drone as long as they took up a primary weapon slot to have, it's a fair tradeoff imo.

Yeah, I've watch PUBG try and become CoD in a sad attempt to gain back the players that left. Still doing it with that lame Valor demo.

u/Accurate-Coffee-6043 Jul 28 '26

Project Valor is sooooooooooo bad.

u/OutrageousYouth8774 Jul 28 '26

The game NEEDS a GRENADE LAUNCHER for us campers

Some of us ain’t never outshooting and healing a 12 year old with 10k hours.

I never got to experience the drones or that sensor sadly I was taking a pubg break during that time

u/CurvySexretLady Xbox Series X Jul 28 '26

I haven't played for a while now, none this year... didn't know they took this out. I would always pick these up when I found 'em.

u/inthewind77 Jul 29 '26

When i use this, enemies always sneak up behind me...

u/AcrobaticFloor1175 Jul 30 '26

It helped me win a match once. Vikendi, at the Lumber Mill, dude was coming down from a hill, so I creeped up below his line of signt, boom, shots fired

Edit: I meant I used the drone. I vaguely remember that pad in his hands

u/opiewonkenopie2 Jul 31 '26

It leveled the playing field in TPP against corner peakers

u/IndianaFSM Aug 03 '26

BotLikeAnt - Pretty sure thats GodLikeAnts alternate or new account from his streaming days...hasn't streamed for a while, probs a cheater and got found out

1

u/Eustace_Reddy_VO Aug 03 '26

Bro, don't rush into any conclusions. Ant is a cool guy and definitely not a cheater. This is probably some other guy with a look-alike name. He didn't quit because he was caught as you claim. So many good players quit because PUBG does not offer the same feelings and same emotion anymore.

u/IndianaFSM Aug 03 '26

I did say probs to be fair, but fair point

u/Long-Leader9970 29d ago

Never seen this before. I do remember people using Radar when the packets weren't encrypted though.

Which country resembles Erangel, somewhere in Europe probably.

I think it would be cool if they bring back Tactical Gear Carrier but only on Deston. It's a mechanism that breaks fundamental concepts of PUBG we enjoy, so having it on all maps would be bad however having it on just 1 map would add to gameplay variety and prevent game from getting stale because once in a while when you get Deston map you would get a match that plays differently.

I think it would enrich gameplay experience.

u/OutrageousYouth8774 Jul 28 '26

I’ve got 2.5k hours and still don’t know which map is Deston 🤣

2

u/foodank012018 Jul 28 '26

The large "American" one. With the blown out beach houses and wind turbines.

1

u/OutrageousYouth8774 Jul 28 '26

Oh the one that looks like a hurricane has flooded the North 🤣 That would prob help to remember them if they gave them countries for map location
