Please tell me that aerosol drone cloaking isn’t a thing. | Forums

OMG, I just saw game footage of a character spraying themselves with an aerosol can to avoid drone detection. What the hell is this nonsense?

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who gives a **** about realism here.

Was this in PVE or PVP?

It is a thing and it's in PvE. It's a Panther ability.

I was assuming that if the player grabs a Wolf's mask and cape, that'd be the way to become invisible to their drones ....

That would be a great idea! They could offer the same sort of buff you get to detection if you’re in a Cartel vehicle in Wildlands. You’re considered friendly until you do something unfriendly.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised when I saw that. ....oh well.

LOL- first thought - weird time to be spraying one's self with bug spray - then refocused that it's in snow - so, perhaps bear repellent ?????

That is interesting... if that’s what it is, you would expect your character to be covered in black paint... and I’m not sure how that hides you from drones. If you could cover yourself you would be a black blob. LOL. Better to just roll in the mud... that fooled the Predator, and appears to work against overhead drones in this game as well. Why not just offer a temporary bonus from drone detection after using prone camo?
