    Massive Drone...?

    I've only seen this once, I think it was WT 2...
    It's killed me really quickly because I had no cover.
    But I haven't seen it again..
    Is there a spawn point or is it just random?

    The last week or so I seen it twice. Last time was over by Lincoln Memorial. The drone is called the Aerial Recon Drone.

    When I first got over level 30 I seen it once and it never came back, now it seems to appear when the Invaded happens.

    Oh, here's something else that I've noticed that changed, when you visit the control points, take a good look at the control point officer, see anything different?
    Spoiler:  Show
    There's new control point officer npcs at some of the control points

    It’s a random event just like you get hostage situations, or propaganda broadcasts, or target practice at random.

    Random event that can get pretty annoying when you're right in the middle of something else. That height advantage negates most cover and the combo of guns and missiles makes it pretty deadly. Most effective weapon I've found so far is the LMG. If it has a weakpoint I don't know what it is. I've tried the red boxes near the rotors but that does't seem to have any significant effect. If anyone knows, please share!

    The red spots are the weak points.

    It's cool AF either way. Have seen it maybe 3 times. Wonder how easily it goes down with merciless.
