The Suppression drone is an automated weapon in Just Cause 3. It is a part of the Sky Fortress and Mech Land Assault DLC.

Description

It is a 4-legged tank-like machine with a rotating turret. The turret is armed with two miniguns that fire Bavarium ammunition. In-universe, the ammunition probably works the same way as that of the Bavarium Splitter rifle.

Before sending the first of these to kill Rico, Eden describes it as: "one of the eDEN Corporation's most recent breakthroughs. State of the art AI, drone technology and weaponry."

Occasionally they make noise, which despite being incomprehensible, sounds a bit emotional. This makes them seem like big robotic animals.

Performance

Despite having legs, they do not seem to be mobile. The one in the mission Suit Up kind of stumbles by about a half a step, but does not actually walk. They always remain stationary and shoot at Rico when he is in sight.

The miniguns are very effective against most vehicles, but take much longer to destroy armored vehicles like CS Odjur.

They can be rendered harmless, by flipping them over with the Grappler.

They only shoot at Rico when they can see him. If he is in a vehicle and there are no other heat-affecting drones, they leave him alone.

The ones at Insula Lacrima have anti-aircraft missile launchers built into the top rear compartment. Sometimes they also fire those missiles if Rico is on the edge of a tower near them.

The ones at Lacrima attack both Rico and the Black Hand.

Locations

eDEN Corporation

• In the mission Suit Up.
• At several places on the eDEN Airship. There are at least 7 of them there.
• At eDEN Extraction Site Bravo.
• At most of the old eDEN bases at Insula Lacrima, until they're liberated. They are dirty and old looking. They fight the Black Hand, as well as Rico (if he has heat). Black Hand mechs destroy them easily.
  • 2 at eDEN Station: The Goose.
  • 2 at eDEN Station: The Rogue.
  • 2 at eDEN Station: The Angel.
  • 1 at eDEN Station: The Spider.
  • 1 at eDEN Station: The Pegasus.

Black Hand

• Used by the Black Hand in Storming the Hive. At least 7 can be found in the mission. The mission takes place at night, so it is unknown if they have Black Hand markings.
  • Several can be spotted on random roads out of settlement limits.
  • 4 are on specific placements of the Hive wall.
• After the mission, one can be found on a nearby road.

The unique drone during Taking Control has the same body, but hangs upside down on cables that make it resemble a spider.

As seen for the first time.

It is safe to look them in the face at this range, because they cannot shoot this close to themselves.

The "state of the art" AI apparently ignores Rico in a vehicle, because it apparently cannot see him.
