The Drone Pod, a new field upgrade in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launches explosive drones that target enemies. This innovation changes the dynamic as they force players to react defensively, either by shooting them down or altering their tactics. This often results in wasted ammo and reveals player locations if suppressors aren't used.
Functionality and Impact
These drones rarely achieve solo kills, usually requiring two for an elimination. However, even a single drone can significantly disrupt gameplay by softening targets or causing strategic readjustments. Their ability to distract is notable, potentially diverting attention from objectives.
Team Strategy and Enhancement
When teammates simultaneously deploy Drone Pods, the compound effect can become a strategic advantage, obstructing lane advances and objective captures. An overclock feature improves their launch speed and adds minimap pings, heightening strategic uses.
Despite their frustration-inducing presence, the Drone Pod has quickly ascended as a favored tool for many players in competitive settings, adding a new layer of depth to in-game strategies.
