2 Can be remote controlled

The Attack Drone is a remote controlled unit with ranged attacks.

Appearance

Found in metallic blue, mauve, white and black, the Attack Drones have striped fins and a double V pattern on their helmet. Attack Drones will change their light color based on their aggression level (if tamed) or whether or not they are targeting a player/tame or wild dino (if wild)

  • Red: Aggressive/Targeting Player (Wild)
  • Yellow: Attacking Target/Targeting Other Wild (Wild)
  • Blue: Neutral
  • Green: Passive
  • White: Player-Controlled

Color Scheme and Regions

Behavior

Wild Attack Drones will not target players or tames unless attacked first, or notified by a Scout. They also have increased targeting range and priority for  Corrupted Creatures. The Lunar type (not an X variant) of Attack Drones (only wild on Genesis 1's Lunar biome) act like their vanilla counterparts and will only target survivors and tames. This can be disabled with an INI config to make the Lunar type neutral rather than aggressive.

Abilities

Left click will fire a basic projectile. Right click will charge a more powerful shot that can be released once it reaches 100% charge. When combined with the multiplier against  Corrupted Creatures, this attack can have very high damage output but cannot be used by AI.

Base Stats and Growth

Cloning

Combat

Combat is identical to the vanilla version. For information, see the vanilla page.

Drops

Taming

Attack Drones cannot be directly tamed. Obtain tame ones by killing them and retrieving the blueprint they drop, which can then be crafted in the  City Terminal or  Tek Replicator. Their quality and cost scale with the level of the killed Attack Drone.

Utility

  • Corrupted Counter: Attack Drones have a high damage and resistance boost against  Corrupted Creatures. By default this is 4x damage and 80% resistance, like the  Enforcer, but both of these values are INI configurable. Their mobility and vision highlighting enemy creatures makes them great choices for quickly tracking down and eliminating creatures in OSDs and Element Veins that are stuck far off and preventing progression to the next wave.
  • Rocket KO Taming: The projectiles of the Attack Drone deal torpor to creatures that typically require static traps to KO, such as the  Rock Elemental,  Astrocetus, and the  Titanosaur. This makes them a mobile and flexible option for taming these creatures as an alternative

Notes/Trivia

  • The only difference in the Lunar Attack Drone is their wild AI, they will drop the blueprint for crafting the normal Unit on death
