Battlefield 2042 is currently playable in beta and players are testing the gameplay possibilities. Among them is the popular ‘Flying Bomb’ trick, where you attach explosives to a seemingly harmless reconnaissance drone and deliver a sudden death to unsuspecting enemies.
How does the trick work? The reddit user and Battlefield player chunkynoobdoge has impressively demonstrated in a post on reddit that the good old C4 trick also works in the beta of the new Battlefield. He got himself a reconnaissance drone and attached a few C5 charges (which is the name for the otherwise known C4 explosive in the new Battlefield).
Then he activated the remote control and went hunting with the drone.
Cheater sites expect big profits, but is it really that bad?
What was the outcome? In fact, soon after an unsuspecting opponent wandered through the foliage. No enemy was in sight, and the player (or possibly a bot) suspected nothing wrong.
But suddenly, a drone with whirring rotors flew out of the bushes, and still, the player did not react. Either he had not seen the small flying device or he didn’t care; after all, drones are unarmed.
But by then it was already too late. Chunkynoobdoge ended the remote control and immediately pressed the trigger on the C5 charges. The drone exploded along with the unfortunate victim in a massive fireball, of which chunkynoobdoge sadly missed because it took place far away. But the satisfying message about a kill certainly gave him a corresponding sense of achievement.
Where else was the trick often used? Anyone who enjoys playing shooters with modern warfare equipment is surely familiar with the trick involving exploding drones. This cheeky tactic has often been used in the competing game Call of Duty: Warzone. In a particularly spectacular case, several players teamed up to execute a cinematic drone attack with a drone equipped with C4.
So much for the cheeky and quite mean action with the armed drone. Such scenes are, however, somewhat normal for Battlefield games, where all sorts of crazy things can happen in large maps and epic battles.
