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 heavy armor, fast-firing weapon and immunity to crowd control status (e.g.: ragdoll, stun), they arguably pose the biggest threat out of all regular Corpus.

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.

Tactics

• 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.
  • Their projectiles are slower than those shot with the Tech's Supra.
  • There is also a delay between rapid fire bursts.
• Despite the Fusion MOA having a shield, the drone itself does not have its own, but makes up for this by having a large pool of health and resistances.
• 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 do 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 surpringly effective against them.
• Despite the immunity of slow from Freeze Damage, the Drone is still not immune to the slow of Nova's Molecular Prime and Rhino's 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.
• In Update 10, Drones would spawn by themselves in the Void, without the need of a host Fusion MOA.
• Since Update 11, Drones no longer spawn by themselves in the Void.

Notes

• 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 can still be found in the Void, released by Corrupted MOAs.

Media

• A Drone deployed by Fusion MOAs.
• A Drone firing.
• A stationary Drone with closed wings
