Drones and RC Cars

Remote gadgets for scouting and attacking

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.

DroneWeightAccelerationTop 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

Kamikaze with the Explosive device.

A long-range FPV drone that carries an explosive that detonates on hard impact. It has a 90 second cooldown. (Free)

Sentinel

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. (Reissad Points 5,000)

Spectator

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

Kyoshin.

An RC car with a spoiler slot. (Reissad Points 5,000)

Stock parts: Kyoshin chassis, Kyoshin shell, slick tyres, HDMona FPV camera, FPV Carbon camera mount, Sphere LED and Kyoshin antenna.

Trataxes

Trataxes.

An RC car that can carry the Shield device. (Reissad Points 5,000)

Stock parts: Trataxes chassis, Trataxes shell, Trataxes wheels, HDMona FPV camera, FPV Carbon camera mount, Sphere LED and Kyoshin antenna.

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.

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.
