NGOs on the other hand, utilise this feature to provide information to people in an area with advice/warnings on any dangerous hazards near them.Ĭompared to the Darter, the Utility Drone's overall functionality is more simplistic as it is only designed with ferrying supplies in mind (usually medical items).īecause it lacks a laser designator and does not possess a secondary camera with thermal/night vision capability, it is similarly ill-suited for use in a reconnaissance or surveillance role.Īs usual, care should be taken with the Utility Drone's operation as even a single round from any firearm (despite being slightly larger than the AR-2 Darter) can destroy its fragile airframe. Militaries primarily use this capability to distribute leaflets over areas populated by civilians in order to warn them to evacuate prior to an attack.
One unique capability that the Utility Drone does possess is the ability to disperse information/propaganda leaflets over an area. Depending on the faction, each leaflet will be differently styled.
Like its dedicated military counterpart, the Utility Drone functions in an identical way once unpacked and assembled by the operator, it can then be connected to through a UAV Terminal and assigned tasks. It is available in up to four variants the standard supply transport/leaflet dispenser variant, a medical supply carrier, and two military variants of the standard supply and medical variants respectively. The Utility Drone is a miniature VTOL-capable hexacopter that is small enough to be carried in a backpack. This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Laws of War DLC.
