- "A proximity triggered drone that tracks enemies and explodes when near them."
- — In-game description.
The Explosive Drone is a lethal equipment introduced in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare that is usable in multiplayer and Exo Zombies. It is a proximity device shot from the Exo Launcher that sticks to any surfaces. It arms shortly after deployment. It works similarly to Bouncing Betties and I.E.D.s from previous titles. It looks very similar to Shock Charges. The Explosive Drone is difficult to hide due to its bright blinking light.
Multiplayer
The Explosive Drone appears in multiplayer mode. The player receives two in regular gameplay and one in the Virtual Firing Range.
Explosive Drones are the "mines" of the game, replacing Claymores, I.E.D.s and Bouncing Betties from previous games. Unlike mines in previous games, the Explosive Drones, after arming themselves, fly in the direction of the target very fast in an attempt to make contact with them, exploding once they have hit a solid object.
Like all mines, they are useful for defending objective locations because they can harm attackers of the objectives without the player having to be there. They can be placed in a doorway or area where the enemy cannot see them so it will have a better chance of getting them. Placing them in close-quarters areas with few escape routes is also a good idea, as this makes it even harder for the enemies to get a chance to escape.
Exo Zombies
In Exo Zombies, the Explosive Drone can be bought off the wall in the Exo Room of Outbreak. The player is given two when buying it and gets an additional one each round, for a maximum of two.
It acts somewhat different than the multiplayer version, as it takes a much shorter time to arm itself, making it much more useful. It is generally an instant kill to enemies. It does not take up the Lethal slot, but instead the Tactical slot; therefore, it can be replaced by the Distraction Drone, and vice versa.
Trivia
- Destroying one of these drones with any of the Launchers will count towards the "Destroy 5 Recon or Assault Drones" camo challenge.
