Plainsong Drone not reachable.

[jfpierce78]

I can not capture it. I have watched several videos (all from the PS release years ago), but in my game the drone takes the same path, but it moves at four times the speed as it does in the videos. So from the turrets on either side, you can't see it in the point of view that you need to time the jump. It takes roughly 13 seconds for it to complete a lap of it's entire path. for 12.5 seconds of it unreachable from either turret. Is this a port bug, or a bug in my game? I have quit and reloaded the game several times, no change.

Does your drone not stop?

That's where you capture it, you don't do it while it's moving, you need to be at the spot where it stops.

It only stops in two places. The far left corner away from the wall, miles away from the cliff. And high over head above the center, between the two turrets, I actually figured out how to get up there though the game doesn't want you to be able to. But even up there it's about 10 meters above Aloy. Trust me I have seen the videos, mine does not stop anywhere other than those two locations. I have watched it's path for about a solid hour over three days. If you can go watch it's path, it's actually pretty large for a 13 second lap. I'm telling you the thing is bugged in my game.

I've had it only stop at the turrets once and just go full speed for a lap, stopping only at the farthest point. From what I've seen it'll start going at the right pace but as it does more laps it'll start skipping stop points until it only has one at which its going full speed demon on the loop.

100% confirmed its a bug that slipped through.

Plainsong Drone

So, a bit of an issue with the drone here. I have been trying to jump on to nab the drone, but it never stops moving and is moving quickly. Checked tutorials to see if there was a trick, and apparently it is supposed to stop. Figure this is a glitch. Anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?

[porpus826]

I am having the same issue. The Drone just moves rapidly around its track without stopping. Initially it stopped above the gate. Now that is not the case. Infinite rapid loop.

I just took down the Stillsands one, easily, it's the second one I have taken down, third I have come across. Just wanted to mention how far along I am, and that I do not what I am doing.

I have the same issue, it's pretty fast, only stops far away or way too high. Like you, I watched videos to understand and it seems it doesn't stop where it's supposed to. I gave up, hoping it would be patched soon.

Drone seems to be bugged,

Trying to do the drone over at plainsong, The drone either does not stop at all and continuously zooms around, or seems to stop only in places where there'es nothing to jump onto it from.

I've looked online and the drone definitely doesn't stop where it's supposed to.

I've tried reloading saves, restarting game everything. this is my last drone to get and there seems to have been reports of the drones doing this all the way back when it was released on PS. :(

Yes, is a bug or glitch or something, the drone moves too fast, never stops

[Postman Pat]

same issue here

[Derrame]

dron too fast, never stops

[GrashEUpfer]

Mine stops but at the wrong locations (looked at a guide)

[joridiculous]

There is a Yellow striped ledge to get out on, and the drone slows down right in front of it. Just press forward and Aloy will be in "ready to jump" mode, and rest is automatic.

Same issue, drone stops in two locations but both are too high. YouTube videos of this online show it stopping in reachable areas.
