LW2 surveillance drones..mini Death Stars

[Zombiekiller]

Geez, early game with my sling shot, sharp sticks, and harsh language weapons these things are SO annoying! Seems to take the entire team 2 rounds to kill just one. And they are designed for only SURVEILLANCE?? LOL! I can't wait to encounter the ATTACK drones..

The hunter versions don't seem to be any diferent from the surveilence. Just more health.

Also I reccomend playing on rookie until you have decent soldiers and plated armor. Veteran is just too much for such a weak start lw2 gives you.

Later on you can easily hack them and use them to stun another enemy (2 enemies down for a turn for the price of 1 hack).

Early game, I use shinobi and shotguns to take them down quickly at close range. Its hard to hit them with the regular rifles and rookies.

This is like my 2nd or third mission, pretty sure second. All I have are rooks. I'll try a few more times before I punt.

Snitchbots aren't hard to deal with, a Sniper with AP rounds can take them out every time. What I hate most about them is they make stealth nearly useless when they coming bumbling in out of nowhere.

Yeah, like I mentioned before I have barely started this run so I have the most basic weapons. I can run a ranger out to shotgun them, but then a trooper one-shot kills my guy or disables him/her. Not a good trade off. I need to get to better tech or use mods.

drones are only a problem very early. once you get AP rounds and specialist they are easy to deal with. don't remember the tech that gives AP rounds but it's a very early one. in the meantime you can use frag grenade on them. garenteed damage and shred one armor

grenades (to get ride of armor)... or overwatch... once they spot you, drones will head straight for you. If you stay just barely out of stun range, you can let them come to you rather than going out into the open to get them.
