Brink

~#~ Remote Control ~#~

This achievement requires you to score a kill with the Operatives UAV.

First of all, you'll need to purchase the UAV skill and equip it to one of your D-Pad buttons. With that done, it's a simple case of finding the most effective spots to employ your new explosive.

Your UAV can't be deployed in-spawn... But it can be deployed anywhere else. Find a corner no-one will find you in, equip the UAV and deploy it. Take control of it and get used to the controls - UAVs are helicopters in Brink, and thus 'slide' quite a lot after you've returned the stick to neutral. The explosive range is quite small, but powerful like a Cortex Bomb.

Reliable tactics include rushing enemy squads from behind - the deafening sound of their own weapons will drown out the telltale sound of your UAV's incoming rotors. Also, Primary Objectives provide an obvious point of ambush, with enemy Engineers and Soldiers being completely helpless while doing their jobs.

A useful tip - UAVs are quieter when stationary. Normally, a flying UAV will be VERY easy to hear coming. A basic knowledge of the maps will allow you to prepare an ambush UAV for an easy achievement!

The UAV is a new ability that can be used by the operative. It can be purchased, like all the the abilities bundled with the DLC once you have reached Rank 5 ( Remeber rank is different from level) for 1 credit.

If you have reached lvl 20 and spent all the credits before starting the DLC the four extra levels are just enough to buy the four abilities needed for this and the other ability based achievements. So be careful not to spend credits on anything else. If you do you will have to reset your abilities which costs a level or do it on a new character which can be quite time consuming to get up to the recquired level.

Once you have bought it start a game in a map that can be quite close quarters. I find the Labs to be a perfect map. Find a safe spot, right near your spawn is a good place. Fly the UAV into an area that's likely to see some traffic from the enemy and wait round a corner or behind a wall. Be sure to stay still so the sound of the UAV is minimised, when a enemy passes by ambush him, be sure to get in close before holding RB to detonate the bomb because of it's limited blast radius.
