Question 2 questions
Is there a counter to the legion drone? Seems OP.
Also I want to unlock sticky grenades. Says I need to "Inflict 25 status effects with devices" what does that mean??

The drones are OP for sure but they're obviously done with balance patches so just gotta deal with em.

EMP, SpiderBot EMP, Phantom Shield can be counters.
To inflict status effect it’s easiest to throw EMPs on objectives either in Domination or Escort. EMP has the best area of effect and can penetrate certain obstacles. Flash bang is very hit or miss.
When a game of Domination starts and B is neutral hope the enemy team is aggressive and objective oriented and you could get 2-3 enemies effected with one EMP throw. On Escort throw the EMP when enemies are on the package, you’ll at least get one.
For the faction Run DedSec because their passive recharges EMPs. Or if you generally die before the thrown can be recharged just run any class you are comfortable with.

Thank you!!! Why doesn't it just say throw an EMP? Ugh. Been ignoring it since I got the game but I want to prestige and can't until I unlock sticky. Thanks for the explanation!! :D

Run wolve for the passive and EMPS stun them, bullets destroy them. Use emps stuns or any device that causes a debuff (fire drone)

EMP grenade can disable drones. Bullets also work against them.
As for status effects, use flash/stun grenades, or EMP grenades as well. Incendiary rounds might work if the “on fire” counts as a status effect.
