Drones and RC Cars
Drones and RC cars are the gadgets in Bodycam. You control them remotely to scout, gather information and eliminate enemies. You get one gadget per loadout.
Controls
Press 5 (by default) to equip your drone and left click to deploy it. Press F to exit your drone. Your drone stays where you left it (even mid-air) and doesn't make any sound. You can re-enter it anytime.
Drones have two flight modes: Casual and Acro. Acro gives you full FPV control and significantly higher speeds, but it is meant for a controller.
New to Acro? Start with Drone Acro Mode: Controller Settings by Foz.
Cooldown
By default, Sentinels have a 15 second cooldown, while the Kamikaze and both RC cars have a 90 second cooldown. Changing your loadout adds an extra cooldown.
Range and battery
Drones have a range of 100 m. The battery drains while the drone is active and drains faster at higher speed. In general, you won't exceed its range regardless of the map.
A bigger battery gives you longer flight time. The Spectator has no battery drain and no range limit.
Drone HUD
Press X (by default) to switch between drone HUDs.
Drones
Bodycam has three drones: Kamikaze, Sentinel, and Spectator. They have different handling.
All three turn at exactly the same speed. The difference is weight and motor power: the Sentinel is the lightest and has the most power for its weight.
| Drone | Weight | Acceleration | Top speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sentinel | 0.69 kg | 100% | 100% |
| Kamikaze | 1 kg | 63% (37% less) | 84% (16% less) |
| Spectator | 1 kg | 66% (34% less) | 88% (12% less) |
Acceleration and top speed are at full throttle, compared to the Sentinel.
Use the same sensitivity on every drone, for example 100. Sensitivity and rates only change how fast the drone turns, which is already the same on all three. Throttle settings only change the curve below full throttle, so no setting can make the Kamikaze or Spectator as fast as the Sentinel.
Kamikaze
A long-range FPV drone that carries an explosive that detonates on hard impact. It has a 90 second cooldown. (Free)
Sentinel
A scouting drone. The Sentinel has a 15 second gadget cooldown. In general, it is more maneuverable than the Kamikaze, but it doesn't carry an explosive. (

Spectator
A drone for helping your team with information. It has 40 health, no battery drain and no range limit. The drone is spawned when a player dies in Versus and Wingman. (Free)
RC cars
RC cars drive along the ground instead of flying. There are two RC cars: Kyoshin and Trataxes.
Kyoshin
An RC car with a spoiler slot. (

Parts
Drones and RC cars use the same loadout system as weapons. You can rebuild them part by part, like a real drone or RC car! Every part and its price is in Drone and RC Equipment Prices.
Experiment with different gadgets in the Loadout Builder.
In-game shop prices

| Kamikaze | Drone, battery and Explosive | Free |

Countering gadgets
You can shoot drones and RC cars down. A standard drone or RC car has 1 health, so one hit destroys it.
Listen for them. Spectator and regular drones, as well as RC cars, have their own sounds.
Avoid being spotted by drones. A pilot who sees you can call out your position to the team.
