Recon work in Broken Arrow helps you detect enemy movement to help you plan a better route to attack and demolish your enemy. Going into the battlefield without proper preparation can lead to an easy loss. Since there are a lot of moving pieces involved in Broken Arrow, here we are going to take a look at the Recon Guide on Broken Arrow.
Recon System In Broken Arrow
Recon team acts as an intel gathering units that help you pinpoint enemies, traps, and reveal a safe path away from prying eyes. When you are choosing a Recon Unit for deployment, you must watch out for two options:
- Optics (Binocular Icon): Signifies the visual distance capability of the unit. Informing you of how far the Recon Unit can see. Higher optics will allow the team to see from far away.
- Stealth (Crossed Out Eye Icon): Indications the detection power of the unit. More stealth will result in sneaking into the base without any alert.
All Recon Units In Broken Arrow
Here we will look at four Recon Units available in Broken Arrow and learn the importance of each and how they change the gameplay.
Recon Infantry
Average infantry, but the cost attached to the infantry is also less, so you will always be able to create more of them to hide in remote places for the perfect strike. This type of Recon Unit is slow, making them ideal for observing enemy patrols.
Perfect For: Infantry can help you detect enemy movement in your area to give you an alert at the right time. They can also be a great addition to Overwatch posts, setting the infantry in a perfect vantage point, can cover a long area, and are perfect for forests and towns.
Recon Drones
Recon drones provide excellent spotting. You will also have access to different types of drones. A small drone can get closer to enemies but offers a low vision range compared to a large one.
Perfect Role For: Drones can help you keep track of the enemy’s airstrike and RT. Use a high-optic Recon Unit with the drones to track the area.
Recon Vehicle
Common vehicle, they will help you cover long distances, but they are easy to shoot and kill. The stealth factor in relying on the vehicle is absolute zero.
Perfect Role For: Along with Infantry, vehicles can also be used to detect enemy movement heading into your area.
Recon Chopper
Choppers help provide vision from a perfect angle, but they do make noise and will grab the attention of the enemy. Also, they come pretty expensive.
Perfect Role For: Recon choppers are perfect for spotting the enemy area to pinpoint weak spots.
Tips for a Safer Play In Broken Arrow
- Don’t rush in: The Last thing you want to do is to rush into the drone or chopper vehicle. They will get detected and destroyed very quickly.
- Send in the recon to survey the land: Before sending any unit, send the recon to survey the land, then you can decide to send in the tanks. Or your tank will get hit by missiles that you couldn’t even spot.
- Don’t engage in gunfire: Don’t fire your weapon in the Recon Unit, or the cover will get blown.
- Keep the Recon Unit: You need to use the Recon Unit throughout the match; they will keep you track of the enemy’s movement.
- Terrain Affect: The vision will also be impacted by the terrain of the land. Buildings can provide protection for your unit, but they block the sight. The forest can help you hide and provide a stealth approach to take care of the enemies. Getting on a hill will help you see further, but you will be in an open spot.
