Fallen Drone

Fallen Drones scanning a room in Riis-Reborn.

Fallen Drones are small drones employed by the Fallen for analysis. They were first seen with the House of Salvation.

Gameplay

These drones can be seen hovering around an area, scanning items with their lights. While they seem cosmetic, they are usually tied to secrets.

They appear as part of the Crux Convergence Public Event on Europa, where they hover around a Crux of Darkness as the Guardians fight the Fallen. In order to trigger the Heroic version of the event, players will have to shoot off all of the drones from all of the Cruxes. These drones are not very resilient, but they can still take a few hits from a Primary weapon, and will disappear if all of them are not quickly destroyed.

Groups of four of these drones can also be found around many locations of Europa. At first glance, they just hover around, teleporting away when one of them is shot. However, if the player acquires a Scanner Augment from a Techno Squad Leader, one of the drones will be highlighted in yellow. This drone can be shot without making the others escape immediately, and then another one of the group will be highlighted. Destroying three groups of four drones in the same general area allows the player to activate the section's augment terminal, completing a Triumph.

These drones also appear around the Glimmer Drill used in Expedition missions, but they are simply cosmetic and have no particular use.
