Drones in CS2: FPV kamikaze and a gun drone

Two drones fly over FrontHell servers. The kamikaze is an FPV drone: you see through its camera and crash it into a player, a turret or a tank. The gun drone hovers where you leave it and shoots what it sees. Both are bought in the shop like any building.

Servers and how to join

The FPV kamikaze

Buy it, put it down anywhere, and hold R - from wherever you stand: your body freezes where it is and you are in the air. WASD and the mouse fly it; the rotors have a sound the enemy hears. Fly it into somebody and it goes off with a blast like a grenade - a direct hit kills, the blast hurts everybody around, buildings included. For a second after the bang you still see the place from a step back, then you are back in your body.

It is fragile: a few bullets bring it down, and it does not fly far from where it took off before its charge is spent - one target, one flight.

The gun drone

The gun drone is a flying turret: park it in the air over your base or over a road and it shoots enemies within its range, tracers and all, until its ammo is out. It can be flown around like the kamikaze, and it can be shot down like one.

What beats drones

Bullets, first of all: a drone in the open lives seconds. Then the air defence (PVO): it locks on to any enemy drone in its sight and sends an interceptor after it - and its owner earns for the kill. And the net: a cheap post that catches a drone flying into it, no shot fired. Smoke hides what is under it.

Flying a drone, stay low, come from behind cover, and look for the base without air defence.

Questions

Can I control a drone from anywhere?

Yes - a drone of yours is taken from wherever you stand by holding R; a tank or a Grad has to be looked at up close.

What happens to my drone when I die?

It goes, like everything a player has built. A drone in the air at that moment falls.

Do drones fly through smoke?

They fly, but the air defence and turrets cannot see them in it - and they cannot see much either.
