Combat Drone - Notes

  • Drones are effective at distracting enemies. This is especially useful at higher difficulties where enemies can take out Shepard or companions in a few hits.
  • Explosive drones when explode, stun and stagger enemies for a short time.
  • Combat drones can start damaging enemies from a distance. So it is not mandatory to summon them close to the enemies
