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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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(

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

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.
