SwagPenguin Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So reading around I found a big discussion about people having trouble with drones and I realized the way I've been doing it is an exploit very similar to the door shutting in a guard's face infinite loop. To do this you need to hack a laser wall. Any drones you need to take care of, hack them and use your two turns to move them into spaces of the hacked laser wall. When you turn the laser wall on the drones will be stunned for one turn. You can turn the lasers on and off multiple times every turn if you like but as long as you do it once any drones you have occupying the laser wall spaces are effectively infinitely disabled and a non-factor. you only need to hack drones long enough to put them into a laser wall space which are usually abundant on levels with drones.Don't have a picture yet, but I assure you it works. Very easy to reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard1200 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think this is a feature and not a bug, because it is situational and it encourages the player to use the environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarrr Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think it's more a bug, as lasers normally just plain turn off when a drone passes them. But I guess we'll find out what Klei thinks when/if they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirouhei Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I did try this as well, but in my case the drones were destroyed (much like shooting them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwinsor Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 There are different kinds of laser walls. Mouse over a tile while it is on to get a reading of what they will do. The kill laser will kill robots if you can lure/direct them there. Never tried drones in the stun laser wall, but good to know this is an option as well. Feature not exploit.

Sphingx Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's particularly fun for when guards walk in, see the downed drone and ? walk over for a better look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanru Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I think it's more a bug, as lasers normally just plain turn off when a drone passes them. But I guess we'll find out what Klei thinks when/if they fix it. This only occurs if you haven't hacked the lasers, if you have drones, and sometimes guards, will run through the lasers(stun only, haven't had either run through kill lasers yet).
