    Will Ubisoft bring back Drones for players to use??

    I am new to the Ubisoft forums so I don't know if this has been previously posted, which most likely it has been. But it would be nice if Ubisoft added an update in which us players could be able to use drones. I know in the original plan for the game the drones were supposed to be part of an app or something, but were removed because of something about being unfair to other players. But I think the drones should be added back in the game. And in order to make them fair have it so the drones stay in the air for a limited time. This isn't just about drones though. It would be nice to have an update with new things introduced. Like the ability to use dogs or something.

    Very unlikely due to the balance issue.

    It's kind of ironic that it was removed due to balance issues with the current state of balance in the dark zone. I bet they just couldn't get it to work right so they scrapped the idea.

    Drones should be a skill people can use instead of Mobile Cover. Mod the drone to the type you want to use like Lazer/Shock/Self exploding.

    I'd buy that for a dollar. They should add a 4th wing to the base of operations, with the drone being the skill it unlocks. Make it so you can control it for a few moments before it's destroyed, give it the ability to shock, gas, flame, fire shrapnel for bleeding, fire regular bulelts, add a healing ability or even a detonation for anything in range. Since the drone is closer to scouting and spying, you could call the new wing espionage and have the side missions and encounters play into spying on factions and interfering with their people, collecting intel, et cetera. They could even add a hacking ability to it so you can hijack other players shade tech (turrets, seeker mines, et cetera)
