Dronemaster tips?

[Netsa]

Leveling Droner as my first class. It seems pretty cool, but I'm not sure about that pistol sharing the same charge as the stun. I'm still in the early levels, but what's a good direction to focus on as I level? Does the pistol get better, or should I stick with the stunspam?

[Mar!us]

I prefer the stun, because you don't really have to worry about many special infeted incapacitating you . The charges either use pistol or stun, but the pistol gets depleted much faster because it has higher shooting range.
If you play the game a lot you get tons of money to experiment with all different skills.

So the stun drone for normal is actually pretty good. Keep in mind, it's about like 15 zombies it can stun/kill (charges are only depleted if the drone stuns an enemy OR gets the kill.) and later on they recharge when not being used. The bonus with this is if you run stun drone, which is basically melee, whoever has it SHOULD be able to keep it for a very long period of time as rhe charge when not in use is ♥♥♥♥♥♥' really good.
Specials eat through the charges, but I suppose that is the point. It's really good (when it works) for un-pinning teammates from bulls and lurkers. Or yourself.

Unsuppressed Drone is decent for endless, though.

For my drone master I run stun drone that I can give to other people, pocket factory to recharge overtime, and also run the Big Five Oh because it's nice having a heavy weapon that gets a big bonus.

Depends on the playstyle - if you prefer fast game or sprinting 24/7 - take pistol, if you prefer to make it slow - take stun variation - it also saves you from lukers and bulls.
After some hours you won't really need a stun gun cause you can dodge/kill bulls fast enough with special weapon or regular one, so in most cases stun gun is a bit useless.

I use stun drone, later you get an ability to let the drone follow an ally. I usually use that on a medic. You also get an option for the drone to detonate on the screamer or mark out specials in red. Drone master is not really useful during swarm waves. Avoid wasting your drone on the Slasher class as the drone will deplete fast.

stun > gun for dm. gun dm is for losers that cant shoot on their own. stun is more useful overall. i prob have over 7000 hours across several accs, mainly on epic.

Gun drone is ok when the class is maxed out, but it can waste ammo during crucial moments that the player had under control. Whereas stun gun can be a life saver.

Okay, new question. Kind of curious about the pistol now.

Everyone seems to be recommending the stun and it seems pretty straightforward to build and play around, but when does the gun get good? What does it need? Do you unlock a way to make it last?

Most of the people prefer stun gun cause it saves them from lurkers and bulls, also protects from regular (not a horde) hit, so yes, stun gun is cool when you really have trouble not to take damage, on the other hand stun gun is a "noob" trap like other classes have same talents (free anti-grab, 2nd life, auto revive yourself and etc), just like I said - after some hours you will understand how the game works, about zeek's spawn and etc, so your stun gun will simply be useless cause you can kill anything fast enough (that's why drone master overall is an average class, cause it "saves" you from random damage, that's the only advantage of this class, if you prefer supporting your team - even slasher can saves your teammates MUCH better then your drone), so here you can think about a gun (silent one or regular) - you no longer have protection from your stun, but you can save quite a lot of ammo and kill waves fast enough (even solo sometimes, you still can't do it like heavy classes can), so yes in short:

1) Gun -> stun, in most cases after like 50+ hrs you realise that medic class is quite broken, but good team doesn't really need medic or fixer, 4 demo or moly guys can solo any lvl without problems, so yep - gun -> stun.
2) Gun variation without silencer kills more zeeks in general, also you can force your drone to stand somewhere and protect a respawn spot or whatever (similar like a claymore, but your drone can kill much more SOLO, btw it's lvl 9 perk "well trained")
3) You have 3 drawback of gun drone vs stun drone - 1st - ofc your ability to survive cause your drone can't free you from a bull (it still can saves you from a lurker btw), 2nd problem - you have to use your drone much more often unlike stun variation, so you need auto recharge perk for it, last problem - to have better ability to solo defend waves - you have to pick lvl 2 "Take a Load Off" perk so after that your drone can kill quite a lot of zeeks by its own, but you have less ammo in general for yourself.

You can still give your teammates your drone (but don't give it to your slasher, he really needs melee kills while you drone can steal it xD)

Well, that's all I guess, you can try to hold solo with your gun drone to see how it works, so here this class almost have a regular ability to defend 1-2 different respawn spots.

Gun master in short can defend better 1-2 different spots unlike fixer/medic/vanguard and sometimes you can even defend better then slasher (this rule only works if slasher can't use his chainsaw via some kind of barrier or whatever - if he can't - you can defend better).

You are quite a funny clown, said something like 'gun dm is for losers that cant shoot on their own' xD
Yep, defending your mistakes with your drone is for giga chad players I guess xD, don't shame yourself, don't answer.

Cute clown back at it again lmao

I'm not really sure why y'all are arguing about this. The drone with gun actually does have its uses (I tested it out a little.)

different strides for different people.

Of course, we're not arguing, we're just discussing about perks, Different setup for different map and difficulty. For me, use stun + masking perk if you're having a difficult time dodging bulls and lurkers, pistol + temp health if you're experienced already, the only downside of pistol is that it MAY shoot a downed bomber IF there's some zombies near him.
If the area is clear and there's only a downed bomber, the drone won't shoot him and you can defuse him as per usual, unless the bot shoot it first

Remember that this is an online co-op game, sometimes you'll connect to a server with bad quality that your every action will be delayed for 1 second or even more if you're that unlucky. Have you ever shot one zombie and then it died a second later? Yep, that's the case, which can be annoying with your usual setup on a good server. So, depends on your ISP and your nearest/usual server, you can choose different setup that suits you best

Oh yeah I know the majority of the thread ain't arguing, just the one person who decided to barge into the thread and just go "bad ur bad lmao uninstall"

Oh yes, he's infamous for being toxic and rude to the community, he makes your regular team killer looks like a saint honestly.

For the so-called "pro" right there, who has been banned several times across different accounts for his toxic behavior both inside and outside the game, his opinion matters the most and always true, therefore nullifying any other opinion.

He constantly change his username here on Steam on all of his accounts and of course using multiple accounts on Epic just to ruin your game. If you ever jumped on a game with him on a public lobby, just votekick + report him, then move on. It'll save your game, ears, and eyes
