Add a Cooldown-Free FPV Drone Practice Area

Under considerationDroneby Corey · 02 Sept

Add a dedicated open area in the lobby or a separate training map where players can practise flying FPV drones without a deployment cooldown. Drones should reset instantly so players can repeatedly practise maneuvers and test their settings. Pitch, yaw, and roll rates should also be adjustable from the training area, with changes applied immediately. Where possible, the rate configuration could follow common FPV systems such as Betaflight, making it easier for experienced pilots to reproduce their usual controller setup.

    Remove the cooldown of the drone/rc while messing around in the lobby.

    Add a drone training room in the lobby to practice flying drones without the risk of getting killed.

  • Ricci02 Sept

    They should make it so that you can practice drone flying in all the available maps with no cooldown time

  • Laqoniq03 Sept

    As an IRL FPV drone pilot, I think this would be an amazing feature for practicing and improving flying skills before real matches. It would also be perfect for creating content, especially YouTube Shorts, to showcase different flying techniques and skills during battles.

  • FireFlower4503 Sept

    In the lobby, there should be a huge area meant for using drones, for actual practice. (and also, just give us infinite drones in the lobby, come on)

  • Itsbnotbar03 Sept

    Add a mid size area to test gadgets and drones and no cooldown for it tgere.

    Host a private game with any map in death match, without bots (might work with any mode – but I've always used death match). When you do this there is no cooldown on the drone and you can practice on any map forever. If you crash, you can launch a new drone immediately.

  • M00dlez03 Sept

    I felt like this was a no brainer, because of how much they talked about the drone system. Was odd to me to see training ground for everything except drones. But it definitely needs a course in the training area.

  • Corey03 Sept

    As an addition to my post about the practice area, can I please make it a setting to always be in acro mode when I launch the drone. I promise to love you forever. Can't wait to make content flying drones in bodycam.

    add a room to practice flying drones in the main room. its good for people who dont have drones, live in places where they are banned and people who dont want to spend to money. the FPV physics in the game are great, because of that people need a place to practice them so they can use the drone to the best of its ability

  • nubersgg04 Sept

    This can already be done by going into a deathmatch with no bots in private, You will get no drone cooldown in the map of your selection.

  • Oliver04 Sept

    Would be so nice

  • kikariru04 Sept

    A private/multiplayermode on a map to learn to fly the drone with controller support

  • gatsandcats04 Sept

    title kinda explains it

  • pupa04 Sept

    drone cooldown and drone hitbox should be adjustable in server settings so that it is possible to create a "drone hell" servers with 0 cooldown and realistically small hitbox

  • Danny06 Sept

    After some research I saw that before this update there was a drone testing area, could we have zero drone cooldown in those areas for sure? Most optimal would be a setting in private lobbies to test it on a large scale map, its fun, but the cooldown is buns

  • tako07 Sept

    Practicing flying in bodycam is a pain right now because there's no option to turn off the drone cooldown in private matches. It would be nice to have that option so you can spend more time practicing or testing settings without having to spend most of the match waiting to use the drone again.

  • no08 Sept

    You already can. host a game of trenches private no bots on gun game or deathmatch. itll stay in the starting time where theres no drone cooldown. :)

  • Pieler09 Sept

    With the new drone updates we need to be able to practice repeatedly, I would love a very simple, larger map that is only accessible solo. The map needs to feature the ability to repeatedly use the drone, rather than having to wait for the cooldown.

  • Alexander Hansen09 Sept

    Would be so cool to have a map to just fly around on with a drone.

  • Ohm10 Sept

    The cooldown is too long to practice in offline and the bots kill eachother before we get a chance to deploy the drone.

  • Marin Ogur10 Sept

    there are many proffs drone flyers in BODYCAM as we noticed, make drone map for them, so they can fully enjoy the Acro mode, and we enjoy their gameplay.

  • lindon11 Sept

    I want to learn how to fly a good drone. It would be good if there was a section to jsut play as a drone to fly around the map and do some crazy skills

  • Kido12 Sept

    Like add a big room where you dont have a cooldown in the menu when you enter the room where you can just spam tricks and learn it properly, with no cooldown

  • Mold12 Sept

    Right now when I spend reisssad points to get new parts for the drones and such you can't immediately deploy it to see the difference from parts that were changed out. But looking back from what i said, if you do add no cool down then other players in the shooting range would probably spam skill and troll other players. Maybe make a room or game mode to test your devices out unlimitedly.

  • SoftCake113 Sept

    In my opinion there should be a map only for the training of drones with obstacles and more (yk). Maybe if possible some type of a tutorial. I know im able to fly on the battle maps, but it aint the same, because the maps are limited in hight and width. Also in some places there are way to less options to fly. Im aware that it is easier said than done, so at least try to expand the hight of the maps a bit (so that you dont crash into a transparent wall). Thank you for the amazing job your doing by listening to your community, this is the way to a successful game. <3

  • Subject_10614 Sept

    i am trying to learn how to fly the drone on full acro in a private lobby with the trench map but it is so infurriating with these things: *the constant 30 seconds reset *switching back to my drone automatically, then my rifle automatically, then i am required to switch back tot he drone manually to use it again. *lack of settings *no drone course map

  • Senay14 Sept

    It would be nice if we could pick a map and add bots with options like moving or standing etc. Also if we could try the locked weapons there. It would also be nice if we could practice using drones.
