For those who’ve not too long ago been taking part in Trendy Warfare III and died unexpectedly to what appeared, at first look, to be a particularly unstable steel chicken—that was me and my breacher drone, and we’re not sorry. The brand new deadly throwable is simply equippable in Activision’s newest shooter should you progress fairly far in MWIII’s multiplayer (the best approach to unlock it appears to be reaching Stage 25 and setting it as an energetic problem within the armory), however should you equip one of many premade loadouts, you need to use the extremely explosive drone proper now. Be warned: For those who do, you’re going to piss lots of people off.
Using the breacher drone can solely be described as a cheese method. It’s part of the Demolitionist loadout, which has the highly effective MTZ-556 assault rifle for a main weapon and an RPG as a secondary for some added trolling. Due to the trajectory of the drone (which you deploy with a mild toss upward such as you’re making an attempt to assist a child chicken study to fly), you possibly can ship the explosive hovering throughout the map, as it might fly straight forward for a good distance earlier than dropping off like a paper airplane. As soon as its flight ceases, it explodes—it’s fairly actually only a drone with C4 strapped to it.
I’ve used the breacher drone to kill dozens on that lengthy hallway on Skidrow, or throughout that eastern-most lane on Highrise. I’ve despatched it as much as that rooftop perch on Favela, aiming it on the picket overhang above it in order that it’ll explode proper behind a camper’s head. I’ll strafe round that damned nook on Terminal, shortly deploy it, duck again into security, and giggle with evil glee as one or two kill notifications seem on-screen. Typically, I’ll throw it at my toes after I know I’m dropping a close-range battle, simply to take an enemy with me.

I’ve gotten double and triple kills with the breacher drone in a single go, completed off an injured participant hiding behind cowl throughout the map, and despatched it hovering down a lane like a little bit homicide chicken, smiling impishly because it blew up at somebody’s toes. The transient snippet of post-death enemy audio is the cherry on high of my annoying sundae—somebody will curse me out, curse the existence of the breacher drone, curse Activision, or just marvel “what the fuck was that?!”
In a recreation that’s at the moment the focus of the skill-based matchmaking debate, the place even the “for enjoyable” matches really feel like a sweatfest, I discover solace in being a devilish little trickster with my breacher drone. Right here’s hoping Activision doesn’t nerf it in a future patch.
