On the map, UAV towers are shown by a radio tower icon and randomly spawn in various locations, typically in common areas.
To activate a UAV tower, stand in front of it. If the UAV tower has not been activated previously, a keyboard interface will appear. Use your interaction key to enable the UAV tower.
Keep in mind that this activation process takes approximately 10 to 15 seconds, during which bots or enemy operators may attack you. In the worst-case scenario, this could be the end of your round.
A UAV tower remains active for approximately 2 minutes. During this time, enemies will see a red marked circle, indicating the presence of the UAV covered area, and they will adjust their actions accordingly.
The radius of the circle extends to roughly 150 meters. While this measurement is not official, it is widely accepted as a reference.
Counter UAV There are several methods to evade detection by UAV towers. One effective approach is to deploy the Counter UAV kill streak. This device distorts the enemy operator’s UAV view, rendering it blurry and useless.
Stealth vest Equipping a stealth vest makes you invisible to UAV towers. It also provides protection against the Comms Vest. When a player with a comms vest is within range, they will not receive notifications about your presence.
