Bestimmung 2 – All Security Drones in Season of the Seraph

Einführung

(This is Marty. He wishes you godspeed on your quest for spherical friends. He is a rather funny-shaped dog who also likes finding balls scattered throughout the world and playing fetch with them.)

This is a text and image based guide (no videos) for finding the Security Drone collectibles in Season of the Seraph (S19). If you are looking for a video guide, I recommend Esoterickk’s video guide. Allgemein gesprochen, he makes very high quality collectible/guide videos.

My SO and I spent a few hours looking for each of these without using a guide ourselves (by choice), and I decided to screenshot the ones we found and share them in a guide for others. Persönlich, I’m a text/image based guide enjoyer- I don’t care for watching video guides unless there are no other options.

Es gibt 50 Security Drones total (henceforth referred to as „Drohnen“). Der 12 Drones in the Seraph Shield exotic mission are time-gated, and can only be obtained later* in the Season by purchasing an upgrade that allows access to certain doors in the mission. Der andere 38 can be obtained normally.

These Drones are yellow spheres about one meter in diameter, and bear a resemblance to the suppressor drones from the raid Deep Stone Crypt.

Here’s a screenshot of one:

Du kannst „sammeln“ these Drones by shooting them with the Revision Zero exotic pulse rifle from the Seraph Shield exotic mission. You must use the Revision Zero; other weapons will not affect the Drones.

Upon being damaged by this pulse rifle, a Drone will disappear, grant some amount of experience towards the Season Pass, and check off the drone as collected in your triumph progress for the appropriate triumph.

In diesem Ratgeber, Drones are also numbered according to these triumphs- each Drone is assigned a number in its associated triumph, and the numbering in this guide is consistent with this order to make it easy for anyone trying to track down missing Drones in their list.

Jedoch, not all Drones are organized neatly together by location- there are a few errant outliers, which will be noted at the beginning of each location section, in case you want to do all of the ones in an area before moving on.

The collection triumphs are as follows:

Drone Destruction IDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero on Europa.(x10 Drones; #1-10)

Drone Destruction IIDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero in Heist Battleground: Europa.(x6 Drones; #11-16)

Drone Destruction IIIDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero on the Moon.(x10 Drones; #17-26)

Drone Destruction IVDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero in Heist Battleground: Mond.(x6 Drones; #27-32)

Drone Destruction VDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero in Heist Battleground: Mars.(x6 Drones; #33-38)

Drone Destruction VIDestroy all security drones with Revision Zero in the mission „Betrieb: Seraph’s Shield.“(x12 Drones; #39-50)

These drones are currently unobtainable.*

The rewards for collecting all 50 Drones is not yet known.

*Three of these Drones can be obtained anyway because some of the lasers can be bypassed.

Special thanks to Doom Kitten, my partner in crime, for helping me find all of the round friends, and to Metroid, for helping fill the third slot in the Heist Battleground playlist so that we didn’t have to deal with a blueberry while we searched.

Europa (Patrol Zone): #1-10

Notiz: The order is a bit strange here. #5, #6, Und #10 are in Cadmus Ridge, Aber #7, #8 Und #9 are in Eventide Ruins.

Darüber hinausYou can find this Drone by travelling to Beyond on Europa (at the bottom of the map).

Hop on your sparrow and ride over to the Pyramid altar in the distance. The ball sits on top of an archway of the structure.

Asterion AbyssOn the north side of the Asterion Abyss, near where the Fallen Brigs public event can spawn, this Drone hides nestled in a tiny crevice near some large empty ice plains.

Asterion AbyssOn the western side of Asterion Abyss, the Drone sits high up on a ledge, often guarded by some yellow-bar Vex. Platform onto the large boxy Vex structure to reach it.

View from the Cadmus Ridge route:

Asterion Abyss, Concealed Void Lost Sector

This Drone is in the Lost Sector, the Concealed Void. In a large room next to a Servitor spawn, the Drone is hidden beneath a Vex box platform, in front of a crane.

Cadmus RidgeOn the right side of a large Vex structure, hugging the side of an icy cliff.

If you’re entering from Charon’s Crossing, you should be able to see this one as you enter the area.

Cadmus RidgeYou can find this Drone at the entrance to the Bray facility in the area, though it’s essentially completely hidden until you get close. Walk to the damaged entrance hole and turn left to find it hidden behind a wall.

In diesem Screenshot, the Drone is on the right side of the image.

Eventide Ruins, Bunker E15 Lost Sector

You will probably see this Drone as you progress naturally through the Lost Sector. When you first find it, it will be behind a layer of smug, unshootable glass. Continue past it to the next room, which is the last room before the Lost Sector’s boss. After entering this room, turn right to find the hidden door to the Drone.

Eventide RuinsAfter teleporting to Eventide Ruins, turn around and enter the building. The Drone is up on a platform to your left, overlooking the entrance hole to the Bunker E15 Lost Sector.

Eventide RuinsThis Drone can be found by the entrance to the Deep Stone Crypt.

If you’re not familiar, look for an area that is illuminated in orange/red. There are often two Void-shielded, named, yellow bar Fallen Captains guarding this area. To the left of a large hatch at the back of the room, the Drone sits snugly within a tiny spherical cutout.

Cadmus Ridge, Perdition Lost Sector

Ja, we’re back in Cadmus Ridge! NEIN, I don’t know why the Drones are ordered this way.

Enter the Lost Sector, Perdition. Straight away, you should see the little Drone next to the Lost Sector Chest area, mocking you from yet another layer of smug bulletproof glass. Complete the Lost Sector to gain access to the Drone.

Europa (Heist Battlegrounds) #11-16

At the start of the mission, go all the way to the entrance of the Bray facility, but don’t enter it. Jump on top of the entrance and turn around. You will see the Drone on top of an icy ledge, next to a Fallen platform and a roughly capsule-shaped structure with some glowing lights on it.

(This image is technically from the patrol zone but still should show you approximately where it is)

This image was taken from the entrance of the Bray facility, facing away from the entrance.

Upon entering the main foyer of the facility (the first big room of the mission), you should see a large cryptolith in the center of the room. Links, hoch oben, the Drone peeks at you through a small hole in a support near the ceiling.

After the foyer fight, you’ll travel through some empty hallways, down further into the facility. In one (poorly lit) red hallway is a Drone, hidden behind a box at a left turn.

You’ll enter a room with some enemies, including a Barrier Champion Hive Knight (if you’re doing this in the Heist Battlegrounds Playlist). Before dropping down the hole, find the ball on the left side of the room (relative to where you entered), beneath the catwalk.

In the large bottomless room where you fight the Chorister, the Drone is hidden away on the left, in between the main leftmost platform and the wall, just to the left of the Chorister’s plate. You can also see this before you jump down the cracked circular glass hole.

In the room with the giant Clovis Bray head, check the back-right corner of the room, Hinter einigen Kisten.

If you are hunting these in the playlist with blueberry teammates, get this one quick before your teammates reach the next section of the mission, or else you’ll be „Joining Allies“ teleported!

Der Mond (Patrol Zone): #17-26

Sorrow’s HarborThis Drone is on the eastern side of the Sorrow’s Harbor area.

From the bridge on the northeast side of Sorrow’s Harbor (the one that led to the Moon intro area and the Season of the Splicer/S14 Moon Battlegrounds arena), face the Altars of Sorrow and move forward, hugging the right cliff edge, and you should find the Drone.

Sorrow’s HarborFrom Sorrow’s Harbor, head towards the Scarlet Keep structure, as if you were going into the Pit of Heresy dungeon or the Scarlet Keep strike. Instead of jumping down the hole into the Pit of Heresy or turning right to enter the Scarlet Keep strike area, look straight ahead and up to see this Drone peering back at you through the window.

Sorrow’s Harbor, K1 Revelation Lost Sector

Head into the Lost Sector until you reach the platforming bit. You should be able to see the Drone behind a wire mesh wall.

HellmouthThis was the first Drone I found, and I shot it before taking a screenshot (because I hadn’t decided to make a guide yet), so sorry I don’t have a screenshot that includes the actual Drone.

Go towards the structure at the north side of the Hellmouth, on the right/clockwise side of the structure. The drone is out in the open above a ridged rock formation.

HellmouthHead towards the area with the K1 Crew Quarters Lost Sector, but don’t enter it. On top of the leaning radio/telecomms tower, the Drone is perched, surveying all within its spherical domain.

Hellmouth, K1 Crew Quarters Lost Sector

You should find this one easily by doing the Lost Sector normally. It is on a cliffside before a U-bend, where the Tracer Shanks spawn.

Archer’s LineJump on top the of the decrepit skyrail line in the middle of the map and follow it to the side of the building (the one that contains the Lost Sector) to find this Drone.

Archer’s Line, K1 Crew Quarters Lost Sector

Progress through the K1 Crew Quarters Lost Sector. In the boss room, on the right side of the area (relative to where you entered), the Drone awaits a worthy collector.

Anchor of LightYou can find this Drone on top of the tower on the left side of the map. You don’t actually need to scale it to find it, but as a Hunter main, I like to be tall.

Anchor of LightNavigate to the entrance to the Traitor’s Ketch area. This Drone is out in the open, so it should be fairly easy to spot.

Der Mond (Heist Battlegrounds) #27-32

At the start of the mission, go forward until you encounter the enemies, then look up to the lip of the crater on your right. The Drone is hidden behind some small reddish capsule-shaped tanks.

After entering the bunker, you will eventually reach a large slide. The Drone is hidden in some Hive gunk on the left side of the slide.

Note that in this image, I am at the bottom of the slide, looking back up through the tunnel.

Letztlich, you will reach a room with a large glass window and only a couple of enemies in it. If you haven’t collected it yet, you will also see Drone #31 behind the large glass window, mocking you behind even more smug bulletproof glass. That Drone is not the one you’ll be getting, Jedoch.

Instead of taking the door on the left to continue through the mission, check the right side of this room. Hidden in a dimly-lit corner, hides this Drone.

In a red-lit room, descend a short set of stairs and find a green-lit section of the room to the right to find this Drone.

In the wave-defense room where you are tasked with keeping enemies away from Ghost while he hacks the terminal, look up into the light to find the Drone. This is also the Drone that you can see behind the glass from the same room where Drone #29 befindet.

Continue through the mission until you get to the part of the mission where you must retrieve two CBR nodes to break five Hive seals. Check the right path for this Drone.

Sorry for the screenshot quality; I’ll upload a better one when I can.

Mars (Heist Battlegrounds) #33-38

Notiz: I recommend you start with #34,

Danngeh zu #33, because these Drones appear to have been indexed by a madman.

This Drone is near Tower C. Head to the path that used to lead to Alton Dynamo.

For new players: from Tower C, head back towards where you came from, then turn right at the large „02“ signage on the blue wall.

This Drone is near Tower A, behind some boxes, near where the Chorister spawns.

Once you’ve broken the Hive gunk with the CBR node, Kopf hinein, then turn around 180 degrees and look up. The Drone is on the ceiling, above the viewing bay with the large glass windows. (

Nichtthe one where Ana Bray used to hang out!)

After the first fight inside the facility and the mini platforming section, you’ll be faced with a large, Hive-gunked sloped freight elevator. Rechts, there is a lower path, which leads to an inactive enemy spawn door and a Drone tucked away in the corner.

Just after the Hive gunk wall, you’ll find yourself on a new level. Look up to the ceiling to find this Drone.

If you find a door that must be hacked open, you’ve traveled too far and should turn back.

After hacking the door, you’ll fight some more enemies just before the main door to the facility interior. Look up and to the left to find this Drone.

Alternative, as in this image, you can walk to the door to the next area, then turn around and look to your left.

Seraph Station (Exotic Mission) #39-50 (unvollständig; #40,44,47 verfügbar)

This section is incomplete. As of the week of 19 Dezember 2022, the Drones (#39-50) in the Seraph Station (Seraph’s Shield exotic mission) are not achievable through normal gameplay. These Drones are time-gated, locked behind laser grids or doors which require upgrades to open, and should become available later on in the season.

Three of these Drones can be obtained, Jedoch; these Drones are hidden only behind laser grids, which can be circumvented by either sliding through them, sword lunging through them, and/or being revived on the other side by another Guardian. Your mileage may vary with trying to bypass these laser grids.

After the first section, where the game so kindly explains the Scanner mechanic to you (probably for the billionth time), find a tunnel that leads to a hacking point and a laser-covered door.

The door to the room with the Drone inside:

Inside view of the room with the Drone:

After you find the room with the two Shriekers, look around for a darkened doorway with a laser grid just inside the entrance. Inside to the left is a Drone; to the right is a secret chest.

At the end of the spacewalk section after the [S]literal war crimes[/S] false surrender section, you’ll find some drones* (lowercase „D“, the type of baby drone that you can heroic the Fallen Brigs public event with) flitting about, and an Augmentation Terminal and a Ammo Restock box at the end of the room. On the left side of this room, near the start, is a laser grid. Bypassing it through whatever means you can will allow you to obtain Drone #47.

*Randbemerkung: Shooting these baby drones in the correct order (visible by obtaining the Scanner buff in the next room and backtracking) will unlock a secret chest after defeating the final boss of the mission.
