s are alien robots encountered on board Mothership Zeta.

About
Guardian Drones are a more advanced variant of the Support Drone which carries a Drone Cannon and does a considerable amount of damage. If you obtain the Drone Control Device, they can be used as followers with a maximum of one at a time. Just like robots in the Capital Wasteland, they can be deactivated once the player acquires the Robotics Expert perk.

You can shoot their hover platforms to temporarily disable their movement.

Guardian Drones can have their cannon shot off, and they are able to re-equip it.

Appearances

Guardian Drones are not very common until after the space walk.
