- “Piloted by Control Towers.”
- —Game description
Defense Drones are the first enemies met in the Arkeyan Armory. These helicopter-like Drones are produced by a ground pod located on many platforms in the level. Defense Drones fly around quickly and fire projectiles from their wasp-like tails. The Drones themselves are easy to defeat, but will continue to be produced by the ground pods until nearby control towers are destroyed.
Control towers are stationary machines that appear in the Arkeyan Armory. They are found on many platforms within the level and are easily recognized by their glowing green-tipped antenna. The control towers are responsible for powering the ground pods that produce Defense Drones. The pods will continue to produce Drones until the control tower is destroyed.
Trivia
- If the first control tower in Arkeyan Armory is killed before its intro can play, the camera will focus in on the empty space where the tower was and its info box will appear as normal. However, the Defense Drone introduction is skipped entirely, since the tower cannot summon its minions.
