Combat notes

The Attack Drone has a strong weakness to Instant HurtDinos, taking +120% damage from them. It is highly resistant to Mining Drill Harvest, taking -100% damage, making it immune to drill-based attacks. It also takes +55% damage from Melee DmgMetal RaidDino and +50% from Projectile and Explosion Demolition sources. Melee WithProjectileImpactFX grants it -50% damage resistance.

The Attack Drone has specific hitbox multipliers on its l_Ring, r_Ring, l_Arm_01_03, and r_Arm_01_03 zones, each taking 1.5× damage. Targeting these areas speeds up taming or combat elimination.

Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.

Tips

The RangedAttack deals 28 damage at 60 meters range with a 4.5-second cooldown. The Bite attack deals 28 damage at close range with a 1-second cooldown. The Taunt ability deals 25 damage within 10 meters and has a 0.6-second cooldown. It is highly vulnerable to explosive and projectile damage, making it fragile in open combat. It can be effectively transported by Argentavis or Quetzal during raids. Its damage profile makes it best suited for short, aggressive bursts rather than sustained frontline engagement.

This page details the Attack Drone's taming, breeding, damage modifiers, and combat capabilities. For precise calculations, refer to the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map available on the site.
