How To Get & Use The Drone In Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game?

The Drone functions quite similarly to the Binoculars; however, with some noticeable differences, players will immediately recognize it. The first is the Drone's range compared to the Binoculars, as it gives players a more accurate perspective of their surroundings while highlighting key Points of Interest (POI), discovering shortcuts, and more.

Acquiring the Drone will be readily available to all players when starting their expedition adventures in Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game. So, there's no need for players to spend money acquiring it, as all they need to do is determine how to use it in-game, which is quite straightforward.

Like the Winch and Metal Detector, players can access the Drone by pressing the assigned key or button to open the Devices pop-up window. This window allows them to scroll through the wheel option, which, once the Drone is highlighted, select it, and they will deploy a Drone into the air.

They can control the Drone using the assigned keys on the keyboard and mouse or buttons for controllers to guide the Drone and scout their surroundings more accurately. Do keep in mind that if the Drone goes out of radius, it will lose signal until players steer it back within range.

Another important note is that employing specific Specialists can help make the Binoculars and Drone more rewarding to use on expeditions or for explorations and grants expedition bonuses. The Logistician Specialist will grant players unique bonuses, including increasing the Binoculars' range, while Jaegers allows them to discover shortcuts that will come in handy as they progress in-game.
