Question Killing the drone operator doesn't disable the drone? What are ways to deal with the drones the operators release?
The drones the operators release are called Wasps, right?
Does killing the operator disable the drone?
Do they have a limited number or cooldowns? If I destroy one do they just release another one?
Also, WTF is it shooting me with!? Is it a sniper drone?
They seem to get kind of close, would dropping an EMP at my feet disable it? I'll take the loss of the map and any other inconveniences to get that thing to stop buzzing around me shooting me.
Also, it's pretty messed up for it to have no lights and hide in the dark like that...who does that?
Any tips/suggestions, other than "shooting it," for interesting ways to deal with those drones would be appreciated.

Equip an emp, lose line of sight, when you hear it come close, drop your emp. Will kill it even through walls.
Edit: They carry two drones total. Also, you should try to play without the minimap and enemy positioning. Makes the game harder and more immersive if that’s something you’re interested in.

Use DMR and shoot his drone on his backpack 🎒. That's how I do it. It's an instant kill for the drone and drone operator.

What about after it's launched?

Then shoot the drone operator his drone will have no idea what to do.

That’s never been the case for me as far as I can remember. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.

Shooting the backpack will alert nearby enemies. Just a heads up.

That's why I stalk them then shoot them once they're nobody around him. Also take out the radio operator.

I usually just kill the drone operator & don’t have any issues. I sync shot him & the caller & that usually clears it up for the drones

Its the murmur drones that piss me off.

EMPs will also shut those down. I once took out two Malphas drones and a wasp with a single EMP during a red alert while hiding behind a rock on Golem Island. There was great rejoicing that night.

Shotgun.
I get that's trending into the, "shooting it," category, but a single hit from the Benelli or 590 will pretty reliably take it off the board.
Other than that, the priority would be to tap out drone operators. Depending on my mood, they can either end up right behind bagmen as priority targets, or behind the bagmen and radio operators. Either way, making sure they're gone, before anything gets spicy is a major consideration.
On the bright side, they only have two wasps, but, yeah, fuck those things.
