This upgrade is for vehicle framework drones. Normally, when you pilot a drone too far away, the video feed becomes filled with static. It becomes unbearable around 500-600 meters away. This upgrade module increases the effective range by 200 meters. The upgrade also stacks, so two modules will boost the distance by 400 meters.
Here is the source code.
A compact upgrade module for Vehicle Framework drones that increases their effective range. With 165 endorsements and 15,506 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for drone users. Last updated June 2026, it remains relevant for current game versions.
