The MAV Micro UAV is a Recon gadget in Battlefield 3. It is deployable and is used to remotely spot enemies.[1] Players can earn awards for effective use of the MAV.

It can push the EOD Bot around, and is capable of roadkills in the hands of a capable pilot.

MAVs used by teammates are highlighted on the minimap, and are currently the only indicator of which team a MAV belongs to.

The MAV can be shot down by enemies, though its small size and decent maneuverability make the task difficult. It can be locked on by anti-air weapons.

As of the beta, the MAV can carry C4 for use in a C4 UAV attack, and carry other soldiers (similar to the drone elevator exploit).

HUD elements

Like the EOD Bot, the MAV shows various bits of info in its display[2]:

  • Camera bearing
  • GPS latitude and longitude
  • Camera elevation/declination
  • Recording time of day
  • Range in meters to crosshair target (maximum 200m)
