    Legendary drone spam is back!

    Is it just me or has the drone spam returned? I tried to do Roosevelt Island last night but my team and I were wiped three times in a row only by drones. My clan and I usually does the project every week. I have ran this mission many many times but haven't since last patch until last night. The drone spam was ridiculous. Wave after wave of drones. Has anyone else noticed this? I noticed it as well on DUA, but not as bad.I haven't tried capital yet but I'm betting that the first section in the front of capital building I will encounter the same.I thought this was addressed awhile back but with all things Division the stuff adjusted or "fixed" rears its ugly head again.Or the devs purposely snuck it in.

    Ya indeed something is wrong with those, but to be honest, its not always the case, I ran like 5 or 6 legendary this weekend and this happened not on all runs but its pretty annoying when it does... But ya happened to many times... this as started from TU10.1 or TU11... but its lately...

    Not for the number and frequency of drones they are talking about. Even with two of us using a jammer, we couldn't get through the first area of Roosevelt. We managed to get most of the enemies down and then one team member went down and a single red-bar healer came in and got all of the enemy controllers up. Ugh.

    I think they should put in a side game where you strap a Black Tusk healer to a seat and pull out all his teeth one by one. Those ffers bring out the darkness in a man 😂

    While you are correct, since TU11 the drones are back to being a pain, you can counter them. We did Roosevelt with just me running jammer, and everyone else plus myself dropping turrets.

    Some drones will make it through, but it was much easier with a jammer. Also, target the drone operators first, make them a priority.

    My group wiped 3 times from the drone spam. It just made us adjust and play more selective. There is no content in this game where you don't have the tools to get through it. Just need to have the right combination (build), the right strategy (skills) and good synergy with your group.

    Drones target enemies with the highest threat level. Use the decoy or use assault turret and striker drone. A full skill build running the turrnet/drone combo will pull all the agro from the Black Tusk drones. Two full skill builds per squad is a good combination.
