Mosquito Drones can serve as invaluable killstreaks, yet many Warzone players have likely misused them during season two.
The season two update in Warzone introduced quality-of-life adjustments affecting killstreaks, altering their effectiveness in catching adversaries off guard. Notably, the addition of the danger zone tac map notification displays the coverage area of any Precision Airstrike, with an extended warning range. Consequently, it’s less likely to eliminate enemies swiftly. Moreover, players now detect a red outline on their mini-maps denoting the UAV’s coverage area.
In light of these nerfs to killstreaks, players have begun seeking alternative options, with the Mosquito Drone emerging as a promising contender.
Mosquito Drone Warzone killstreak explained
The Mosquito Drone Warzone killstreak functions as an automated drone that hovers in an area before descending on a target upon entering its perimeter. While players won’t be instantly incapacitated, Mosquito Drones inflict significant damage.
However, this killstreak’s drawback is its visibility on the tac map, marked with a red icon, making it susceptible to being shot down. Moreover, players can seek cover to evade both the drone and its explosion.
Best ways to use the Mosquito Drone in Warzone
A common mistake among players is haphazardly deploying the Mosquito Drone without a specific purpose. Optimal usage involves deploying the killstreak when aware of an enemy’s location. By directing the drone towards a target, it becomes effective in luring them out of cover. Placing the Mosquito Drone near a Buy Station or loadout drop yields minimal results as they are easily destroyed and have a short lifespan.
Carrying this equipment item can also prove advantageous in the final circle. When maneuvering or confronting an enemy positioned above, the killstreak can create an opportune moment to strike the unsuspecting adversary.
While UAVs and Precision Airstrikes are expected to remain popular in Warzone despite the season two nerfs, players should still consider experimenting with the Mosquito Drone.
