Mission 50 suicide drones

[Bobotmeister]

In the "take the uninhabited floating city" mission, how do you fight against the suicide drones? got one of my towers down to 50% health and it still gave me an A?

i did it by using assault armor aoe right before they flew past me but still a few got past and i got s rank.

im gonna use that plus a charged aoe plasma rifle blast, thx

[Bobotmeister]

ooo.... lemme try that. I use the usual hu ben and a stun cannon. no joy. tried throwing plasma shields in front. didn't work.

Use pulse protection in front of the tower to take care of the drones and activate the turret for the snipers

[Genesis]

My best suggestion is to use assault expansion and time it

[Nope]

Aim to no damage till near 3 minute mark, then use canon to help take out LC (I pity those guy)
After that either let the drones it do it job or timed your assault armor

I am hot garbage at stopping the drones eve with assault armor and plasma missiles and the absurd nearly 500 drain log unlock FCS (only missile specialist FCS are better at missiles anyway).

So the above tip about 3 minute mark for the guns, and getting really good at murdering trash and snipers are how I always clear it, even with every bomb drone nuking the shields.

x6 Plasma missiles are still solid as basic MT multikillers though. Last run through that job I had the cartoonishly large double barrel laser rifle which is nearly 800 damage by default. As long as you are easy on the trigger it will ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ up without overheating.

I had to keep the shield up to get S. I blocked some with my body, most got through, so I just made sure I killed everything else fast

This sounds like a smart move. I would've used a flamethrower/gatling to spray them down.

Large grenade cannon? It has a large blast radius, if you can hit even one drone the whole swarm should go down instantly.

I went in with long-range weapons to one-tap snipers with. Usually popping the turrets around the 3 minute mark when the snipers started spawning, if you kill the snipers before they fire a single shot, you can miss all of the drones and still have a shield on the tower which would keep you at S rank.

Just jump in front of the tower at the 1:42 min mark and activate the pulse protection. It will stay up long enough to clear all drones with no damage

I ignored the suicide drones and let them all hit and still got an S.

[FAT WANZER]

Let it all hit but the building shield is full, got an S too
