Drone Combat Guide

Basics

To enter your drone, hit the "h" key from the Hall view (make sure you have closed the Overlord pop-up).

The direction you are facing is controlled with the mouse, simply move the mouse in the direction you would like to turn. Press the "W" or "Up Arrow" keys to move forward.

Experiment with the controls until you get the hang of it, if you are taking fire from enemies the strafing + rolling really comes in handy!

Just like the Cabin View, the drone uses the "three targeting circles" to select your target. If you would like to change your target, hit the "x" key to cycle through them.

Ammunition

The drone uses the basic "M-17" rounds as ammunition. You do not need to equip them to an officer, just leave them in the general "inventory" and the drone will automatically pull from there.

Synchronized Firing

By far the most efficient + effective mode of combat is when you "synchronize" your Officers to fire at whatever your drone fires at. (Don't have Officers? Check out our Buyer's Guide).

It is fairly simple to do, at the bottom of your screen make sure the correct "Officer Bar" is enabled, and make sure they are not in "auto fire".

Highlight the Officer(s) that you want to synchronize with by either clicking them, or pressing their number buttons.

Whenever you fire on a target in your drone, your Officers will fire as well! (Just make sure they all have ammo equipped!)

Auto Mode

You can also put your drone in "auto" mode by hitting the "p" key. The drone will then seek out and destroy nearby targets on it's own. Hit "p" again to exit auto mode.
