Medic drone = OP | Forums

Love the PVP, BUT Medic drone is really ruining the gameplay!

No, it actually needs to be fixed. As soon as you revive someone they get insta-killed again by the camper sitting next to them.

1. Remove the Medic Drone's icon, so opposing teams can't see it. And to balance it out, remove its ability to mark enemies.
2. Maybe give the revived player 1 second invincibility. Debatable, but something needs to be done about the dead body campers.

In my opinion, Medic drone is just fine.

If opposing team has a medic, you should:
1. Kill medic first if possible.
2. Camp bodies, at least until medic drone is on cooldown.
3. Booby trap bodies, so when rezzed, booby traps instantly kill again. If using mines, may kill medic drone too, if it comes in low enough.
4. Use the tech. Tech = no Medic Drone rezzes in the tech area. Believe it or not, you can hold the techs jammer; wait until there are kills, and place jammer near bodies, so medic can’t drone in.

Also, in my opinion, bodycamping is a perfectly legit strategy. I never go in to revive someone unless:
1. I’m reasonably sure of enemy positions, and it is safe.
2. I think going for the revive will draw out the enemies position, for other 2 teammates to kill.

Smart medic play says, if you suspect body campers, hold your drone and clear the campers first. Yeah, you don’t put yourself at risk with drone, but you can still waste your drone by rezzing a player just to have them gunned down immediately.

I also do not believe there should be invincibility on rezzes. This game should reward smart play, not reward death. If you die, you become bait for enemy. Whether that is to bait out medic drone, or bait out your teammates coming to rez you.

Use the TECH and Jamming the drone, problem solved.

Why is it ruining game play... more times then not its a free kill on the person that got raised.. its single target and its visable to every one. It's not nearly the game changer compared to the scout class that can freeze a whole team up do to its detect movement... even the slight shifting while prone can give you away.

Its fine. Most times like with any FPS game you bait the dead body and you get another kill.

It's a team game. Understand what the medic can do. Understand how they will utilize the medic drone to get players up unsafe environments. If you have to camp the bodies and wait for the revive or shoot the drone out. It requires patience and also team work to understand what type of game plan the medic will do.

Is it just me or do medic drones have more HP than other drones? I don't believe there's an HP buff ability you can equip, but I definitely have noticed medics are easily the hardest to gun down.

LMAO some of the suggestions on this forum are terrible, common sense is if they are drone spamming run tech!! C4 bodies, shoot down drones, kill the medic first like come on adapt to the other teams play style thats what the game is about adapting not playing the same classes running the same routes etc every game. The medic is literally a close range support role
