What is the Fly Buy public event?

The Fly Buy mechanic results in 5-6 drones flying over the map and dropping buy stations in designated random locations. This aerial drone pass can occur randomly at any time during your match or not at all. While they're meant to drop the buy station at a designated spot, if you manage to spot them in time while being in range, you can shoot them down so they drop the buy station quickly. This method allows for some tactical buy station placements for your team during tough spots late in the game or to deny/bait enemies with those buy stations.

Note that the buy stations will not carry unique equipment or weapons and will be the same as the standard buy stations at fixed points on the map. Nevertheless, the utility of a buy station should not be underestimated as it can allow a fallen ally to quickly restock or let you gain a significant advantage as you try to capitalise off the earnings from a victory against another team.
