Drones

Why dont they just use drones for transport? Why in a futuristic world this guy has to walk with a backpack?

[NoShotz]

Cause the drones don't work properly due to stuff in the atmosphere.

From one of the in game interviews

"But the chiral clouds put an end to all that. Nothing flies now. Nah, it all came crashing down...and my dreams with it. Damned clouds mess with flight systems somehow—don't ask me how."

well there are several reasons, first of all, if you fly high, you would get disconnected from the quiral network, secondly, the rain of time would destroy them quite easily, it destroys all roads much less a drone..

1) Dont fly high
2) Human can walk and not destroyed by the rain of time but a drone would? The walking assistant droid survives?

It might work, but if they fly too low mules and terrorists would easily intercept them, too high they would spend too long too closely to chiral clouds and the drone could potentially be destroyed simply from the rain, and lose the cargo.
The whole point, is that the world has been changed so radically, that only a human with good judgement should be trusted with delicate deliveries, especially when people's lives depend on it. The walking drones usually deliver their cargo completely broken and ruined unless it's a very simple and direct route.

And terrorists cant intercept a single guy carrying a box?

Yeah, they can, the idea of the game is seeing if you can do it despite that.

[Seamus]

Most porters avoid mule/terrorist areas anyway.

The single guy can protect itself from the terrorist, the drone can not because they are unarmed.
