  1. He stepped on an AP mine?

    What kind of rookie sniper goes running through open space in daylight like that? (the answer seems to be….a dead one).

  2. The crazy thing is…. that person knows that drone is for him.
    Not just buzzing around looking for targets of opportunity but directly for him.

  3. Looks like he stepped on a toe popper, crazy bad luck specially when a drone is chasing you.

  4. Imagine trying to shoot an fpv with an enormous sniper rifle. 

  5. I recall a video from 2022 of surveillance drone operators calling down 20 155mm rounds on a thicket of trees/brush, just to take out a single sniper.

    The return on investment in drones, especially the fiber optic ones, is just outstanding.

  6. Getting chased by a drone through thick Forest has to be interesting, no survivors to tell the tale.

  7. Poor planning and shit luck ended this Orcs career for good. Great job hunting his ass down!

  8. Does anyone else say fuck you in their head anytime a drone connects with an orc or is it just me?

  9. I don’t get how a drone connected to a wire can fly through a woods and not get snagged

  10. Ghillie suit works better when you sit still dummy. Also less chance you run into a mine lol
