Any Plans to Allow us to Remove Drones from the Game? | Forums

[Flaw3dGenius23]

A part of me died when we all realized how much of this spongy, autonomous tech would be included in the game along with the tank-like, mini-gun wielding soldiers. In fact, it's a big reason I didn't buy it especially after playing the alpha/betas.

....but @gunbladedad has a point. If they were to get rid of all the things I don't like about GRB, there probably wouldn't be a game left to play.

The crazy thing is the community were already moaning after Wildlands that there was too many drones so what do Ubi do... up the drone count by 50000... unreal psh

Their way of dealing with it was giving you a shock pistol. The truth is, they will develop nothing to deal with drones that comes in a non-lethal form. I had actually discussed what they could have done during development for giving players the option of a non-lethal approach.

I know. Remember all the jokes about Ghost War becoming "Drone Wars". How did they ever interpret that as the community wanting more drones?

IMO, that just lends to the credibility of those who say Ubi was never really listening like they said they were. ....either that or they just thought they knew better than their fans what they wanted but the fact that they were surprised by the backlash / failure of GRB tells me it was the former.

Drones make it unplayable for me. Gave up on this game for now.

Just watched your video. Sounds like good compromise if Ubisoft doesn't want to give us the option to remove them. Being able to find the camp's done station and stealthily shut them down would be nice addition.

I remember reading on a couple if not few posts the different options that the devs could have implemented the Anti -Drone weapons but of course nothing came about it but I am sure it is in the list they have and are burning the midnight oil looking at it. When will we hear anything about it, I am sure than soon.

You would think this would have been one of the things that would have been implemented for the Immersive Mode but nope, nothing says Immersive like fighting drones made from the Flash DNA.

They really kill immersion for me. Going full stealth is never an option if there are drones in a camp...at some point you will have to deal with the drone(s)...loudly.

Despite the bugs, I really enjoy the game. But I cringe every time I hear that drone hum coming from the direction of a camp I'm headed to.

Does anyone know if Ubisoft has ever mentioned making drones optional in the future?

For thos you just have to prioritize your approach on a camp. I play all stealth and my character essentially is a young Sam Fisher from the 1st Splinter Cell game. The drones are the first thing I take down by either using the EMP grenades or the Echelon electric stunner. After that then I take out all snipers so I can move about freely. Also I shoot out all the lights to create darkness or find the generator and sabotage it and wait until the first alert response goes back to normal before heading to my objectives in the game. I create my own Splinter Cell experience with this game, that's why I have so much fun in Breakpoint. Though the game has it's flaws, I play a certain style where those flaws really don't make a difference. And when I really want to take my time, I even go further and shoot out "cameras" in the interior buildings to immerse myself fully. I can take a good 45-60mins on one base depending on the size to really make it feel like a Splinter Cell type game when completing my objectives.

Good for you, I am glad you are enjoying the game, my problem is that I am NOT playing a Splinter Cell but I would love to play Ghost Recon Game and since I also don't like Roll Playing, it creates an issue for me.

This whole Splinter Cell is getting old. This is Ghost Recon. Sam has/had is own game. Ghosts can go loud and still be effective. This is not strickly a sneak around game. That's why we have LMG's and shotguns.

The game allows you to play whatever way you want. You can go in guns blazing and use LMG's and shot guns. Whose stopping you? You just have a higher chance of getting overrun and dying but you can definitely play it that way. Or play coop to have someone watch your back until episode 3 and they introduce AI teammates. Which I don't know why everyone so gun ho about having AI teammates when that was the number one complaint in Future Soldier and Wildlands! That AI teammates would get spotted and didnt really help in gun fights.
