A drone can jump higher

The majority of the players know that the drones can jump. Not all of them know however that the jump can last longer. To jump much higher, you must look up before the jump. This will enable you to place your drone much higher than normal.

Use the drone to cause chaos among the enemy

While scanning a room, you will surely encounter players that are placing barricades, traps or using their own gadgets. When they see your drone, they will try to eliminate him. To cause some chaos among them and take away a few of their seconds, try placing the drone between the legs of one of your enemies. It might happen that some of the enemies will start shooting the device. They might accidentally wound their ally.

Look for strategic points while scanning a room

If you're scanning a building and the position of bomb A was already revealed by someone else, don't waste valuable time to go to the same place. Instead, look for point B. It is possible that thanks to that you will reveal the identity of the remaining Operators. If all strategic points were revealed (bombs, hostages), try looking for players hiding somewhere in the building's rooms.

Position your drone properly during the scanning phase

When the building's scanning process ends and the attack phase begins, try placing the drone in a good place from which you will see a large portion of the map. Place it on a bookshelf, in a flower box, or in another well hidden place in order to reduce the chance of it being detected. Remember that if your Operator is eliminated, you can switch between the active drones and still help your team.

Use the compass

If you scan the building in search of dangers and you want to inform the rest of your team where they can inform the enemy, check the compass in the bottom right corner of the screen and use the name of the location that is displayed there.

Attack wisely

Before entering a room, use the drone to detect potential threats. Remember to first set yourself in a safe position in which you won't be terminated while spying on the enemies. Once you gather the information like enemies' position or their numbers, you can attack.

Save your drones

Once you scan the room and complete the action, don't forget to pick up your drone - you might need it during the next action. Remember that the number of drones available in the game for each operator is limited.
