Originally posted by AustinJovi: I think it's supposed to be in the game but they haven't added it yet. If you open the item_modifiers.xml, there is a mod listed that is named "modRoboticDroneWeaponMod" and "modRoboticDroneStunWeaponMod"
They're unsure whether to actually implement it, iirc. They tried it out in an internal testing trial, but, it didn't seem particularly balanced or fit what they wanted for the flying drone.

But, the devs often leave unused elements in the xmls on purpose because of modders. Maybe the devs decided it's not balanced- But it IS something that some people want, so, since the work is already partially or fully done, may as well leave it there for modders to enable and expand upon if they wish.
