In Battlefield 6, deploying the Recon class’s aerial surveillance tool requires strategic effort. This autonomous device reveals enemy positions within a 100m radius for one minute, contingent upon meeting match-specific activation criteria.

UAV Deployment Protocol

Complete all Recon specialization tiers in-match to access UAV capabilities. After achieving full progression, PC users activate via numeric key 6 while console players simultaneously press lateral shoulder buttons to initiate deployment.

Progression metrics appear as vertical tiers on-screen, tracking combat performance through accumulated experience points. Each completed tier locks permanent combat enhancements, with subsequent tiers requiring continuous XP gains to prevent progression decay. Maintaining activation momentum is crucial – extended periods without XP acquisition erode partial progress in unfilled tiers.

Successful UAV activation provides temporary tactical dominance through uninterruptible aerial reconnaissance, unaffected by countermeasures. Comprehensive battlefield mastery requires understanding additional complex systems detailed in advanced strategy resources.
