Europan Drone
This page is about Europan Drone. For other uses, see Drone (disambiguation).
Description
Aerial recon drones deployed to support Europan forces. Despite being used primarily for reconnaissance, the drone is armed with light machinegun that it will not hesitate to use on infantry and other drones.
Location
Europan Drones will spawn on every map during the day except for Scrapyard Nexus, but do not appear during night shift.
Strategy
Drones are a constant nuisance on the battlefield, in that unlike other vehicles or automated units, they will alert allies of Scavengers in the area, causing infantry squads that might otherwise ignore Scavs to instead aggro on them. In addition, if a drone is shot down, an infantry squad or additional drones will be deployed to the scene. Because of this, evading drones is the best tactic.
Once alerted, Drones will let out a distorted horn sound that signals it has raised an alert, before engaging the target with prolonged bursts of machinegun fire. While a serious threat to lightly armed Scavs, however, they can usually be taken down with quick bursts from Rifle weapons or other larger calibers, and with one shot from heavy sniper rifles. Engaging them from a distance with suppressed weapons can be used to bait other AI to investigate the crash site, drawing them away from the location you want to sneak into.
Unlike Eurasian Drones, Europan Drones do not have a spotlight indicating their focus, and can spot targets seemingly in a complete 360 circle underneath them.
