Attack Drone

Corpus

For the Archwing counterpart, see Attack Drone (Archwing Enemy).

Attack Drones are deployed by Fusion MOAs when they reach about 50% health, but can be avoided if you destroy the MOA during its short deploying period.

Due to their fast-firing weapon, hovering nature, and immunity to crowd control status (e.g.: ragdoll, stun), they pose a big threat.

Their attacks are very similar if not identical to laser turrets found in the Void, probably due to the fact that they are a direct result of the Corpus integrating Orokin technology directly into theirs. Drones are sent as a syndicate death squad by Cephalon Suda.

TacticsEdit

• The Drone's rapid firing usually cripples its targets very quickly, but the projectiles themselves have travel time. So, avoidance is a must.
  • Unlike the Corpus Tech, these Drones can fire at full speed instantaneously.
  • Drones do 7 base damage at level 1.
  • Their projectiles are slower than those shot with the Tech's Supra.
  • There is also a delay between rapid fire bursts.
• They do not portray similar flight patterns to those of support Ospreys, instead they charge against their targets and fire like moving turrets.
• Drones do not have rotating guns like the MOAs, which makes them very dependent on the turn rate of their entire bodies.
  • Since their turn rate is somewhat slow compare to the other Corpus units, this can be taken to advantage.
• It would seem that the Drones are exceptionally weak against Banshee's Sonar, allowing any shot to most locations to deal lethal damage.
• One can spot a Drone without a radar by listening to its roaring hover engines.
• Critical Hits seem to have altered damage outputs against the Drones. Having high values on such weapons is surprisingly effective against them.
• Despite the immunity of slow from Cold Damage, the Drone is not immune to the slow of Nova's Molecular Prime and Rhino's Rhino Stomp.
• The Drone's model is solid and knocking the Drone down with a Flying Kick is impossible, thus allowing players to slide over the Drone to allow greater dodges.

NotesEdit

• They are immune to Vauban's Bastille and Vortex (Vortex will suck them in without ragdolling them and will damage them, but they are still able to shoot).
• They are labelled in the Codex as "Attack Drones".
• Corrupted versions of these drones are deployed by Corrupted MOAs, which only spawn in the Orokin Void. They are called Corrupted Drones.
• In Update 10.0, Drones would spawn by themselves in the Void, without the need of a host Fusion MOA.
  • Since Update 11.0, Drones no longer spawn by themselves in the Void.
• As of Hotfix 18.4.4.1, these Drones replaced the Scavenger Drones in Cephalon Suda's Assassination Squad.
