How do I kill a attack drone? attack drone battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If you survive to the part were these guys spawn you need range wepons like snipers but do keep melee as well for defense unit. If you think this is good information please up this
If you see it kill it for element
In my previous experiences I found that rockets and snipers are highly effective but when shooting them watch out for approaching defense units so you don't get hoarded.
Surprisingly they lay tapejara eggs ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
I reccomend a Taste of their own medicine use tek rifle or railgun their drops=ammo
Bleep bloop bloam, no more to roam, this drone done killed ya, you ainโt making it home.
Get one Rockwell and kill that terd.
They drop elements which are mandatory for all things tek. Kill them ASAP if you can... be prepared
Available in the lunar biome of genesis
Easy to kill 3 fabricated rifle shots then thereโre dead
They have a major blind spot behind then if on foot just stay behind them
These guys will appear during the overseer bossfight, in the lunar biome on genesis and during the vr master controller (or just VR rockwell) and they are hella cocky, they will damage you from your mount, they don't do really high damage and with armor they do very low to 0 damage but they will slowly drain your armor's durability, best way to take care of them snipers are best suggested, if you really want you can use other ranged weapon or creatures with ranged attacks like velonas (if the drones are on top of you then you still wanna use your ranged weapons), and all I can say is that they are the cockiest of the robots
Can someone confirm this is on the island?
If you want a attack drone pic just go to the more section and click itโs wiki page boom pic and info
When fighting these drones, a long range weapon is normally recommended, like a tek rifle or a compound bow. You cannot tame them on normal Ark, you may need a mod to do such a thing. When killed they drop element which you can harvest. Along with these, defence units normally spawn. On extinction the defence units will attack if you kill a drone. However, in the island, they will kill you anyway.
Just to know these guys are in extinction dododex
PLEASE FIX THAT
If you are going to lunar on gen1, be aware of them, you cant kill it with meelee weapon, it will always be higher then yiu, so bring some range weapon to kill it.
If you want to defeat the tek dragon then you need a sniper,a shot gun and a sword. before you do that you will need to kill the attack drones and the defence units
For anyone who doesnt know, they spawn at the overseer fight in The Island, and that's why they are there.
Run if seen there to strong or kill on sight
