Best way to takedown police drones?

[angel-eyes]

I'm at a point where I have the choice to take some down. Was just wondering if there is a special way to drop them fast? -Thanks!

Stun gun or emp blast and then a takedown before they recover.

That works quite well for the Exo-suit Poiice. But, not for the Drones...

There are a few ways to take them out, depending on your weapons/augs build.

If you have Remote Hacking, lock on and hack and disable them, then take 'em out with a Sniper Rifle, Battle Rifle or Combat Rifle. Armor Piercing rounds work best. This works well with the drones you run into after talking with Janus, in the underground tourist center.

If you have the Sniper Rifle with fully upgraded Damage, load it with Armor Piercing rounds and, one shot will destroy them. No need to Remote Hack them first. Especially effective in the first part of Golem City.

An upgraded (maxed out damage) Battle Rifle or Lancer Rifle works pretty well, also.

But do you have a silent way to take them down? I'm wondering if you have a take-down option once they are shutdown by remote hacking. They do not, unfortunately, fly at a very low level.

I'm finding AP's or EMP rounds work well, no matter the weapon

I usually just use positioning and shotgun. I get close to one, pop out of cover and shotty it, rinse and repeat. The only exception is when they've been alerted are many are searching. Then I usually just evade them. It's not hard to slip by with either stealth augs or distractions.

Remote hacking. Makes it too easy really

No silent way to take down drones, that I know of. I've tried a barrage of EMP rounds, hoping enough shots might desable it permanently, but damage doesn't appear to be accumulative.

I am mainly interested in the riot sequence where police patrols are easily avoided; I could do without some drones, too. :)
