Drover Bursa is one of the three types of Bursa introduced in Operation False Profit, geared toward heavy artillery. The back side of a Drover Bursa holds a hackable console, which can only be accessed while the Bursa is stunned. They may be found on Pluto, Neptune, and Europa, with the chance of appearing on Jupiter, Mars, and Venus.

Tactics

  • The Drover Bursa is equipped with a variety of heavy weapons, which include missile launchers, grenade launchers capable of launching volleys of explosive grenades, and orb launchers to gradually damage enemy within its range, similar to the Sapping Osprey.
    • Among the three Bursa types, this makes the Drover Bursa an offensive type.
  • The Drover Bursa uses two Riot Shields which it can deploy by huddling them together to prevent being stunned or knocked back by Warframe powers and abilities. Unlike its two other counterparts, the Drover Bursa can move even with its shields deployed, albeit at a slower pace than normal.
  • Drover Bursa do not run as often as other Bursas, instead they opt to slide as they keep their shields facing the Tenno as best they can.
  • Drover Bursa projects a short-range aura that reduces Tenno armor.
  • Drover Bursa has increased resistance against stunning and crowd control abilities.
    • Rhino's Rhino Stomp will affect the Bursa, however will recover quicker than other units.

Trivia

  • The Bursa was originally known as the Riot MOA, and is one of the winning fanmade designs from the Enemies of the Tenno contest, created by player Volkovyi aka Liger Inuzuka.[1]
  • Bursa is a Medieval Latin word meaning "purse", this may be a reference to it 'closing up' to engage it's defensive state. It also means "stock exchange" in several languages.
  • They made a reappearance during the Black Seed tactical alert as allies in the final mission against the Juggernaut Behemoth.
  • The Drover appears to posses a propulsion system stationed beneath the main body. This could be what allows it to move while huddled, since this is absent on the other two models.
