The Recon class in the game features a powerful UAV drone that players can call in during a match. This UAV will spot and mark any enemy within 100 meters of your location for 60 seconds, providing a significant tactical advantage. However, unlocking and deploying the UAV during a match requires some strategy and quick action.
### How to Call in a UAV
To unlock the UAV, you need to max out the Recon training path during a multiplayer match. Once you have fully progressed through the training path, you can call in the UAV by pressing the **6 key** on PC or both bumpers on a controller (RB + LB or R1 + L1).
The training path appears on the right side of your screen as a series of boxes and is commonly known as the **Field Specs**. These boxes represent passive benefits that you unlock by earning XP during a match.
As you earn XP, the lowest box in the training path will start to fill up. When the box is completely full, it locks in, granting you the associated benefit. Any additional XP earned will then begin to fill the next box, progressing you further up the path until you reach the UAV box at the top.
### Important Tips
One of the challenging aspects of reaching the UAV box is that XP progress slowly decays over time if the box isn’t locked in. For example, if you are halfway through filling the UAV box but stop earning XP for a short period, your progress will start to drain. This means you need to stay active and keep earning XP consistently to successfully unlock and call in your UAV drone.
By understanding this mechanic and maintaining steady XP gains, you can effectively utilize the Recon UAV to dominate the battlefield.
