Removed 'Shielded Vengeance Drone' from regular spawn pool. Blaming the anti-hacker drone crowd for that one slipping by me...

That was from when it was spawning naturally. Normally it's supposed to only appear as a Boss Encounter (purple GPS, etc)

o well that explanes it. i only hit one of them so far and i think it was just a wave of kamizaze drones.

Can the drone even be killed, or it indestructible?

it has a weak spot that when hit will drop its shields.

you dont need to hit the weak spot when needed the drone is not indestructible if you deal pure damage to it the shields will go down : }

I had 20 gatlin guns shoot it for ten minutes, but the shield just didn't go down??? the weak sport hides too well in the back, so I had to drive a grinder ship cut it through.....

nope i realized that the shield completly indestructable and you cant place any blocks on it or even grind it its take no damage .

The best way to disable its shield is on foot

k so from what my seeing this drone has a week point ant the back to turn off its shield... yeah seem balenced when its laser punches through multiple heavy armor blocks has pin point aim and always destroys my bridge first go

you realise how much damage is needed when it one shots my shields and shill punches through my shot with that laser
