Repairing Drone Damage and Avoiding Flight Hazards

Dealing With Damage and Broken Parts

Hostile attacks and rough handling will damage your machine over time. When your drone takes damage, several operational penalties occur:

• Motor speed slows down, making the drone harder to steer.
• Black smoke begins pouring from the frame.
• The first-person video feed glitches and becomes distorted.

To repair the machine, locate the landed drone and equip a wrench tool. Hit the machine with the wrench; each strike restores 5 health points. Continue striking until the health display on your flight screen is fully restored and smoke ceases.

The Water Hazard

While standard damage can be repaired with a wrench, water contact is completely fatal to the machine. Flying into or landing near rivers, oceans, or puddles will instantly destroy the drone in a sparking explosion. Always maintain a safe flight altitude above bodies of water to prevent permanent loss of your equipment.
