    Tablet Assets

    Just wondering are we going to be able to use tablets as an asset using a drone or other vital support systems like we saw in one of the trailers or are we going to be limited to playing in game only?

    The tablet drone has been cancelled. Ubi found that it unbalanced the game.

    Did the Devs expand on what made the companion app unbalanced? Would love to read up on it.

    It being unbalanced in the darkzone makes total sense but my question is why not make it so when drones enter the darkzone the radio signal dies causing the drone to crash. I don't know it's just me from an outside point of view.

    Maybe that's why there was a crashed drone to find, eh?

    I wish this was still in the game, maybe find a way to disallow players from entering the Dark Zone if the drone is in your party, but at the same time... It's always nice to focus their shift on more important aspects of the game.

    I think another alternative for the drone would to make it so using the drone took up one of your squad's slots so instead of 4 players its 3 and a drone. Although I do see how having a drone would create an unfair advantage especially in the DZ. Where Rogue players could easily keep up a map of the streets and figure out escape routes, find holes in resistance, find crates much easier and tons of other possibilities
