This is a quick video about the Recon Drone in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

To get the most out of the Recon Drone you should use it with Hardline Pro. This perk causes each of your assists to count as half of a kill. If you can manage to get 10 assists with the Recon Drone, thats five kills for you!

Try and use the Recon Drone when Counter UAV is up.

Don't forget that players can shoot you down very quickly! Avoid SAM Turrets like the plague.

Hide yourself before using the Recon Drone. You are vulnerable on the ground for the entire length of its use.

  • This stupid ass killstreak has like 2 flares. What the fuck man.

  • @ROFLMFAO904 It is stupidly hard to shoot down if the driver knows what they're doing. Its so good because Information>all in video games and any competition really.

  • lol im stupid but how do u tag people because when i used it i had no clue

  • @TheXtremeDaniel Same button you use to fire your gun.

  • The Recon Drone also (if you'll notice in the HUD) puts out a mini blocker on the enemy HUD whenever they get in the vicinity of it. This is why it has a static circle around it because it is blocking the radar of the enemy. So, if you see this when someone is using it on you, shoot the sucker down!

  • @jakerugg I didn't know think to put that in the video, but you're absolutely right. Just another thing that makes the Recon Drone annoying as hell to play against.

  • Well I've actually done it several times. I have hardline pro and run the recon drone they don't count.

  • Um, I don't think Tag Assists count according to Hardline Pro. I frequently use the recon drone and I never recieve 'Assists Count as Kills," From Tag Assists.

see all

  • Its so stupid how the screen when you're flying the drone only tells you some of the controls. Whose idea was it to tell you how to go up and down but not that you need to use the trigger to tag...

  • Is there a way to hide from it, I had my specialist streak on and it saw me still so blind eye and assassin didnt work...

  • @transportrrt Trigger button

  • @1193manbeast Hit the trigger button

  • I understood how to use it I just didn't know what it did. But you get a shit load of xp

  • @K1nGn3B Throw EMP Grenade at it. that will destroy it.

  • I've used it with hardline...and yes i think it does work...but they are third kills (20 points)....it takes three to make a kill. So for a point reset assuming the drone is the highest streak equipped would take 12 for another uav or 15 for a ballistic vest. I know this cause on ground war i had 40 assists/10 kills/24 deaths w/ the riot shield and xm25 recon/hardline...with vests/sam turret/drone. Right after i got my first drone i got the vests again. I got 3 drones when the game was done.

  • Great video, i used this once but never knew how to use it so i shoved it away, but after seein this video it looks really fun

  • The assist you get from the Recon Drone do not count towards your Kills even with Hardline Pro. My main class runs Recon, Hardline, and the Recon Drone.

  • @transportrrt hahah
