IDK about you all but if a drone drops into the picture when soloing overland I just run. Not even going to explain how stupidly hard they are to take down, even if you manage to just get them alone.

They’re definitely one of my least favorite activities. I usually go out of my way to avoid them if I can.
Sick as I am, I actually like the Recon Drone.... Wouldn't want more of them, but kind of makes the world a little less stale and I actively bait them to a covered location.

I engage them solo all the time. Make sure you've equipped a weapon DPS build and that you have some large or overhead cover. I poke at their weakpoints while strategically placing large objects or overhead cover between me and the drone. Easy picking.
You want try having one show up when you are in the middle of a CP4 takeover, that's when things get bat sht crazy.
When you are in the open with zero cover yeah your kinda screwed for the most part.
Me personally I sometimes goad them if i'm near a Friendly CP, it usually works and I use the inside of the building as cover, (surprisingly my Assault turret can do some serious damage)
LOL CP4 take over is when they bug the crap outa me. Cheers mate.
Had one show up while I was engaging a CP4 with a elite convoy showing up at the same time...fun times.
I love to drag them in at that construction pit CP, let it rip the NPCs a new one. :D
When I'm in the open, I cry like a baby and flee. :P
They are DEFO harder to take down now , think they got buffed , Had one show up near a bounty target , abort mission Lol ......
I had one drop in on a bounty I was doing while grinding the mercury event..right on the last phase of the bounty and this drone starts to take out the mobs..
I'm under a tent area and it somehow see's me and starts on me..
I was like.oh you scuzzy bastage! How you see me?
lol
I just let it kill me so I could restart the bounty, because I didn't want to waste the time and resources on fighting it..
Any other time I enjoy fighting them..I was just in a hurry this time.
