A small drone used for defense and situation control. The drone injects a small amount of paralytic biotoxin, stunning organic targets. While designed to be non-lethal, wasps may occasionally kill their target by accident. Wasps are powered by a long-lasting battery.

Hostile wasp drones are encountered in ancient structures such as man-made landmarks and quest sites. They are released as a group of three by a wasp trap when it detects a colonist in its line of sight and within a 20 tile distance.


Occurrence[edit]

Wasp drones do not occur on their own, they are always released by triggering wasp traps in structures built by the Hostile Ancients faction: underground stockpiles, man-made landmarks, orbital platforms, satellites, and gravship quest sites.

Acquisition[edit]

It is not possible for a player to construct a wasp drone, or the wasp trap the drones originate from. Additionally, wasp traps cannot be uninstalled and moved. Wasp drones are enemies for the player to fight, and cannot be used by the player.

Summary[edit]

Drones are similar to mechanoids in several ways - they avoid cover, do not drop equipment when destroyed, die when downed, and have 100% toxic environment resistance and 100% vacuum resistance. Unlike mechs, they are not entirely immune to flame and heat damage, but are non-flammable, and their corpses cannot be smelted.

Upon detecting a human presence, wasp drones start flying and chase their target at a flying speed of 16.24 c/s. Once in contact, they use their stinger to stun their victim, making them vulnerable to attack by other defense systems, such as hunter drones or ancient defender turrets. Wasp drones are able to fly in vacuum.

Unlike hunter drones and sentry drones, wasp drones cannot open doors.

When generated as part of a map, drones will be at least 200 years old[Verify]

Psychic sensitivity of 0%.

Analysis[edit]

Wasp drones pose danger for a lone explorer or when other threats are present. They move fast, and while separate attacks cause little damage and bleeding, repeated stuns can make a pawn very vulnerable to enemy fire.
