Yeah mine turned up whilst I was taking over a True Sons CP4 (True sons seem to be the most aggressive) it was only after 10 mins I realized a Hyena patrol had joined in, 30 mins later and I had it completed, but fkng hell if I wasn't insane before I was afterOriginally Posted by SHDLBC Go to original post![]()
When i spot a drone on the map and i am nearby, i always go for it because it is fun for me.
I recall last time in NY i think it spawned near a bridge and to my surprise it would hit me when i was under the bridge like it did not exist
Even my turret would hit it (it was under the bridge too..). Barely survived as i managed to find cover and then an elite patrol showed up. The running started but i got them eventually.
PLUS destroying its rotor weak points make it lose balance and most of its attack misses.Originally Posted by ATiM- Go to original post

no no no... go in with the attitude you will own the drone~! Otherwise you are defeated before you even start.Originally Posted by Boogy.Man Go to original post
What you need is high cover or somewhere to duck under/into.. like a building..
High cover would be something like a large truck or bus. If it's high cover and you are in open area.. you must pivot around the high cover. So the high cover should have something like 4 sides...
let's say Side A, Side B, Side C, Side D.
You take up on one of the side.. say side B.. shoot at the drone.. keep it in front of you but stay in cover. if it circles around to you.. you pivot over to Side C or A.. whichever direction you need to.. either clockwise or counter-clockwise. and you keep the cover between you and the Drone.
When it lights up yellow spotlights.. you make sure the missles can't reach you.. it helps if the high cover also has something to block the trajectory of the missles.. like a tree branch or light pole.. bc this is a video game and those environmental objects will usually block the missile.
It's as simple as that.
If you are able to duck under some type of structure with roofing you do the same thing.. and when the Drone lights up yellow spot lights you make sure you have something inbetween to take the missles.. or you wait until it stops launching missiles and you wear it down.
I have done it with my pistol.. (mind you this was recorded be4 Aerial drones were nerfed more recently)

but same principles in open areas.. i do pull out my AR or SMG to get it done faster and use environmental cover.
also.. if there are friendly NPCs near by.. you may want to kite towards them to pull them in to the fight and help you out.
