How to Use Tactical Camera

Spot and Mark Enemies

The Tactical Camera is a piece of equipment you can use to monitor the area, spot enemies, and alert you if there are any nearby enemies. Manually controlling the camera will allow you to mark two enemy Operators on the field. Leaving it on auto would only alert you of nearby enemies.

It is a great field upgrade to use to farm XP on large-scale maps and game modes like Ground War and Invasion.

Can't be Used Farther than 75 Meters

You won't be able to control the Tactical Camera if you're beyond 75 meters from its location. If you're focusing on the Tactical Camera most of the time, try not to put too much distance to it!

How to Counter Tactical Camera

Shoot it to Destroy

Take out the Tactical Camera by shooting it with your gun. One shot is enough to destroy it so it shouldn't be a problem if you use your primary weapon. Additionally, you can equip the Spotter bonus perk to help you spot it even through walls.
