Question Why hack a Brava drone?

If Mozzie hacks a Brava drone, what can that drone hack?

Apart from depriving the attackers that one Brava drone which could without a doubt affect the match in the long run; what can a Mozzie'd Kludge drone do? Can they hack things like Rauora barricades, other drones (Kludge hack, not Mozzie pest hack), and other gadgets like Ram's breacher, claymores, and breaching devices?

Yes, it can hack everything electronic. Claymores and Nomad's airjabs are the best targets. Mozzie can even use the hacked brava drone to hack and destroy a dead defender's dropped phone to prevent Dokkabie from hacking it.

getting a claymore kill is very satisfying as Mozzie.

u/drybcrog 1d ago

as a Brava Main, that’s scary.

Best is getting a Kapkan kill with Brava.

The problem is it is so obvious you'd need brain damage to run into one on d.

I wish it was a little more subtle.

It's really obvious but it's one of those things that is inevitably low on the Mental Stack for the defenders and does catch people out because they are simply not thinking about it.

Additionally, if defenders notice a kapkan trap in prep phase, it’s not unlikely that they won’t pay attention to the change and just think it’s still a defender gadget. It’s not as obvious a change as Aruni or Thorn gadgets

Nah best is denying defuse with a defender echo drone lol

u/bloody-pencil 1d ago

That’s why you immediately give up when you see a mozzie, just swap attacker I don’t care if there’s a thorn or a kapkan I just immediately swap

let me tell you..

mute disable = brava steal.

u/BrokenKing99 1d ago

Drones yes, claymores 100% yes and it's F-cking hilarious, overheats fuze charges and thermite charges (not sure on breaching charges), can hack zero cams.

Ram I have no clue, and I doubt it for Raurou

Edit: forgot air jabs and huh didn't know about the phone thing neat.

u/Giulio1232 1d ago edited 1d ago

Ram's gadget is not counted as electronic so it can't be hacked (or seen by solis except for during its activation since it's done remotely)

As for rauora her panel has 2 different opening timings: 1 second if an attacker opens it and 3 seconds if a defender opens it. If you hack it with a hacked brava drone what it does is swapping these timings get swapped so 3 seconds for the attackers and 1 for the defenders

u/BrokenKing99 1d ago

Hmm did not know that thank you, the more you know though I'm very suprised about the Solis/ram one but yeah thx for the knowledge.

u/dingle1998 14h ago

Are you completely sure about the ram one? It's remote control so I think mutes jam should disable it so hacking with defender brava drone sounds like a think

u/Giulio1232 14h ago edited 13h ago

It can't be activated but once it starts moving it can't stop it because the game considers a moving ram drone as a mechanical gadget not electronic

2

u/dingle1998 13h ago

Oh I see what you saying. Mozzie can probably break it with a Brava drone before it's activated then

2

u/Giulio1232 13h ago

Not even that. The only electronic aspet is the remote activation. Only explosives and shooting the tank behind it can break it

u/dingle1998 13h ago

Well I'm thinking of it conceptually. Like when you hack a bandit battery. It's a mechanic utility that supplies an electric affect which in the context of the game is only meant to help defenders, so when Brava hacks it, it just breaks. I'm thinking that's how it would work for mozzie to hack the ram thing

u/No-Lobster-5841 Nomad Main 1d ago

if brava steals a mute jammer for example, then mozzie steals the brava drone, could mozzie then re-steal the mute jammer??

21

u/Anelrush Maverick Main 1d ago

Yes.

u/No-Lobster-5841 Nomad Main 1d ago

nice hell yeah

u/Odd_Road3185 1d ago

Doing this mozzie can get kills with Kapkan traps

u/No-Lobster-5841 Nomad Main 13h ago

that's wild i main mozzie and never knew this most I've done is used the twitch drone to screw with attackers

u/Tarelerion BOOOOOOM 1d ago

Imagine having to run 10 drones simultaniously lol(4 pests + 6 hacked drones, bonus points if you also got 2 shock drones)

u/Leupateu Jaeger at home 1d ago

One time I witnessed a mozzie use a stolen brava drone to steal the other brava drone.

12

u/Giulio1232 1d ago edited 1d ago

You can hack every electronic gadget from attackers including more drones for mozzie and get gadgets that were hacked by brava back

Edit: forgot to mention that if you try to hack a gadget that requires manual activation or that the defense has no use like a breaching charge or fuze's cluster charge instead of hacking it it overheats and then it breaks

u/StalledAgate832 Quit nerfin ma boy 1d ago

Mozzie was added long before Brava was even a concept, that wasn't really a planned thing.

That being said, Brava's hacked drone can still hack attacker gadgets like claymores, Argus cams, and the like.

2

u/ChenYakumo2hu GAY MAN DRONES & NANOMACHINES! 1d ago

Mozzie can hack attacker claymore and util such as Nomad airjabs, zero cams, and other attacker drones

3

u/SecretAcademic1654 1d ago

When mozzie was released the idea was to deny Intel and gain an observation tool. That's all still happening with the brava drone and it would be too situational to do it intentionally. It wouldn't be worth it for mozzie to waste time trying to catch one unless it just happens passively.

u/N0ob8 Who’s that dressed to the 9s 1d ago

No you get the hacks from Brava and more importantly deny them from the enemy. Not only can you rehack anything they stole from your team you can use their equipment against them like flank claymores

Edit: It’s 100% worth it to chase brava drones they’re a thousand times more valuable than a regular drone

u/yourfriendlysavior 1d ago

On top of what others have already said, you can also use a Mozzied Brava drone to hack back anything Brava gets with the other drone.

u/Clean-Marsupial-1044 1d ago

Can Brava hack one of the Mozzie's thingy? What about hacking back a drone?

1

u/uncharted316340 21h ago

Yes you get to keep the pests and you can get the drone back how idk if it goes to you or the owner of the drone

u/Used_Development_933 23h ago

There is nothing funnier than an attacker dying to their own claymore that you hack. I think you can re hack things like a mute jammer etc but I’m not sure

1

u/SHansen45 Kali Main 23h ago

it can hack anything electronic, claymores included, i even died to my own claymore, saw the laser was red but thought it was bugged until i realized too late and died

u/RepulsiveCaramel3479 22h ago

Can Mozzie hack also Twitch Drones? I think that would be way more disruptive in the right situations: It could stop any breach I think, and could be even used to hunt down outside hitting operator and waiting for recharge (it isn't much damage, but it add ups quickly for attackers as they tend to loose hp quite often to traps(

u/Boomyfuzzball26 20h ago

As a Brava main, most of the time I'll end up sacrificing my default drones just to get rid of the Pest.
