Description Emits a periodic radar ping to detect nearby enemies.

How to Use Portable Radar

See Enemies on the Minimap

Portable Radar will show nearby enemies on the minimap and their rough location. It works like a UAV but it doesn't cover the whole map and only just a small area.

How to Counter Portable Radar

Destroy Portable Radar

The easiest and fastest way to counter Portable Radar is to destroy it. You can use your gun or explosives to take it out. A light tap from the explosives or a bullet should be able to scrap instantly.

Use Counter UAV

Since Counter UAV disables the minimap entirely, it will also make the Portable Radar useless as it uses the minimap to give you information. Equip the Counter UAV on your Killstreak loadout and start taking out five players to use it.

Activate DDOS

DDOS can effectively disable a Portable Radar on the field for a short time. Equip it to your loadout and wait for the opponents to use it before you activate the DDOS to counter it.
