How to Earn the Drone You Out Achievement

Need to defeat 30 Regulator Drone Masters for the Drone You Out achievement in Gotham Knights? This guide helps you find them and offers tips for taking them down.

Alright, so you're going for the 'Drone You Out' achievement in Gotham Knights, huh? That's the one where you gotta take down 30 Regulator Drone Masters. Honestly, you'll probably want to save this for later in the game, maybe even post-game. It just makes hunting them down way easier because there are fewer random encounters to sift through.

If you're still short on Drone Masters by the time you're wrapping up the main story, your best bet is to actively hunt down crimes involving the Regulator Faction. Keep an eye on the map – when you hover over a 'Premeditated Crime,' it'll tell you which faction is involved. If it says 'Regulators,' you're golden, because you're guaranteed to face them there.

• Tip: The higher the difficulty of the crime, the better your chances of running into a Drone Master. Aim for 'Very High' difficulty crimes, especially in the post-game.
• Tip: Don't completely ignore the regular crimes marked with a white triangle on your map, either. Sometimes a Drone Master can pop up in those too!

Seriously though, focus on other achievements first, like 'Expert Crime Fighter.' You might just knock out a bunch of Regulator Drone Masters naturally while you're busy with that. It'll save you a headache later.

What Exactly Are Regulator Drone Masters?

Think of these guys as the minibosses of the Regulator faction. They're pretty annoying, honestly, maybe even more so than the Talons sometimes. They'll swarm you with drones that constantly pepper you with fire, and they're surprisingly good at dodging when you try to get a clear shot. On higher difficulties, they can really mess up your flow.

They hit hard with electric damage, so you'll want to equip gear that offers resistance to that. Their main weakness? Concussive damage. So, look for weapons with that element. Batgirl's 'Beatdown' ability is a lifesaver here – a couple of well-timed uses should take one down. Nightwing's Shotgun Darts and Whirlwind ability are also solid picks. Red Hood's 'Barrage' is great for interrupting them, and Robin has a couple of tricks up his sleeve too: his Silent Takedowns on larger enemies (if you've got the 'Turnabout' ability unlocked) and his 'Bo Spin' piercing attack.
