How do you put away the otus drone?

i just recently unlocked this and was playing around with it offline. but i can't figure out how to 'un-deploy' it.

hitting the 'use' or 'grab kit' keys while looking at it does nothing.. and if you pull out the handheld thing and use that again, it just blows up the original and deploys a new one.

obviously there's times where you don't want it out.. seems kinda dumb you're stuck with it.

bleh

Ever since patch 1.40, I can't pull mine back in. Before you would just get under it, put your cross-hairs on it and then press 'G' to pull it in.

I usually use the "G" method, haven't been SL that often since 1.40 though. Maybe try shooting it down?

G usually works, but you've got to be close to it. Often enough, I'll just shot the thing out of the air.

Yea, just shot it, you have unlimited resupply now so it doesn't really matter. I think you get a couple negative points for team vehicle damage though.

I believe you just take out the little trigger and press it and it will explode. Press it again and a new otus pops out.

tried that already... it just destroys your current one and puts out another with a single push.

Re: How do you put away the otus drone?

Also, if the drone takes damage you cannot pull it back right?

That actually used to be a good way to repair the Otus, not sure how that works with 1.40.

If your drone is damaged, just have an engy repair it. If you don't have an engy, shoot it and deploy another one.

No, just press the button again, the drone blows up and a brand new one pops out. No need to waste your ammo shooting at it.

True, but at times the secodn drone will take damage fromt he explosion. Not much, but damage nonetheless.

Machowner mentioned it, but wouldn't you incur negative teamwork for shooting your own drone?

Entering building, containers, low opening will damage and destroy it. I don't know it you lose points for this.
