Conquering the Plainsong Drone: A Field Guide for the Slightly-Less-Than-Agile
Ah, the Plainsong Survey Drone. A mechanical menace flitting about just out of reach, taunting you with its precious loot. Fear not, fellow hunter, for this guide will equip you with the knowledge (and maybe a snickers bar for the inevitable rage) to snag this little bugger.
Locating the Little Rascal: Where Eagles Dare (Barely)
First things first, you'll need to find the drone. Head northeast of the Plainsong settlement, where crumbling ruins whisper secrets of a bygone era. There you'll find the drone zipping around a deserted fort.
Pro Tip: Don't get hung up on the front gate. It's all rusted shut and about as welcoming as a Scrapper's armpit. Look for a sneaky path around back – you'll thank me later.
Option 1: The Gung-Ho Gateway (For Those Who Like a Challenge)
Now, you have two choices, my friend. The first involves a little more... oomph. If you've completed the main quest "Death's Door," you'll have the Igniter tool. Use that bad boy to light up the Firegleam crystal by the fort's gate. BOOM! Instant entry (though, maybe hold off on the popcorn). Once inside, you can scale the walls and hopefully leap onto the drone with the grace of a particularly clumsy gazelle.
Emphasis on the hopefully.
Option 2: The Stealthy Stalker Approach (For the Ninja Wannabes)
Feeling less "jump onto a moving drone" and more "strategize from the shadows"? This option's for you. Circle around the back of the fort, utilizing your handy climbing skills to navigate the rocks. You'll eventually find a path leading to a roof with a rusted turret.
Here's the key: wait for the drone to fly close to the turret. Then, with the timing of a master sharpshooter (or at least someone who isn't terrible at rhythm games), leap off the turret and snag the drone as it passes by. It might take a few tries (and some internal screaming), but victory will eventually be yours!
Remember: Patience is a hunter's virtue (unless you're facing a Bellowback, then all bets are off).
The Glorious Aftermath: Looting Like a Champ
Congratulations, champion! You've successfully snagged the Plainsong Survey Drone. Now comes the truly important part: looting its sweet, sweet module (Module 047, for those keeping track).
Crack it open and revel in the rewards – just what you need to upgrade your gear and become an even more unstoppable force in the Forbidden West.
Now, go forth and conquer, hunter! Just try not to trip over your own excitement on the way out.
