Recover Your Drone After Emergency Landing

What Causes Emergency Landing

Your drone automatically performs an emergency landing when its two-minute battery runs out. The machine drops from the sky and lands wherever it happens to be—which can be dangerous if it lands in water, on a mountain peak, or in enemy territory.

Recovery Steps

1. Locate the drone - Check your HUD location display before battery depletion. Note the coordinates.

2. Travel to the landing site - Navigate to where the drone came down. Bring your controller and repair tools.

3. Assess damage - Look for black smoke and camera distortion. The emergency landing may have caused impact damage.

4. Repair if needed - Use your wrench to heal any damage before attempting another flight.

5. Recharge the battery - Right-click the grounded drone with a fresh battery item.

Prevention Strategy

• Set a timer - Remember your drone has exactly two minutes of flight time. Plan to land intentionally at the 90-second mark.
• Fly in loops - Design your scouting routes to return you close to your starting position before battery runs out.
• Avoid risky terrain - Never fly over oceans, deep canyons, or lava lakes where emergency landing could destroy your drone completely.
