This page ranks what to put in each drone slot. Battery is a DPS stat. Accuracy 0.8 is why some fast guns are not S.
One drone flies. Early frames have one weapon slot. Later frames add chip, engine, and assist — not a second gun. Mix the stack in the loadout tool.
Weapons
| Rank | Parts | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Sniper Launcher (25), Heavy Pistol (10) | Accuracy 1.0. Honest ladder. |
| A | Cod’s Gun (8 atk, 0.5 crit), Strongbow Launcher | Crit special, not the default. |
| B | Simple Launcher (4 atk, 2.5 speed), Double-barrel Launcher | Early guns. |
| C | Speedy Launcher until chipped | Speed 10, accuracy 0.8. |
| A / C | Mechanical Broadsword | A in tight rooms. C vs flying Wetland. |
An Advanced Type-A Enhancement Chip on a Heavy Pistol can beat a naked Sniper Launcher with no battery. Mining Rifle is 25 attack and 100 percent crit and still wants a combat chip; it does not replace a pickaxe on stone. Simple Launcher is the tutorial gun. Outpost junk can roll Heavy Pistol before you own a Guard frame. Rank those guns against Seed Carrier 200 HP, Type-99 600, Autonomous Vessel 1,000, Experimental Firework Launcher (NY.II) 1,500 with 100 defense, and Old City “Guardian” 3,000.
Frames
| Rank | Parts | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Doloc Guard Drone | 400 battery |
| A | Mody-Style Mechanical Drone | 250 battery |
| B | Mody’s Handmade Drone | 150 battery |
| C | Worn-Out Drone, Abandoned Drone | 100 battery |
Battery is the DPS-relevant number on a frame. Early frames have one weapon slot.
Engines
| Rank | Parts | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Doloc Guard Propulsor | Regen +1.5. Long Old City fights vs Guardian 3,000 HP. |
| A | Mody-Style Mechanical Engine | Regen +1 |
| B | Mody’s Handmade Internal Combustion Engine | Regen +0.5 |
If drain exceeds regen, the engine letter matters more than the sniper letter. Do not socket a junk engine in Old City; 400 battery will not save regen 0. Worn-Out frames recover 0.5 on their own.
Assists
| Rank | Parts | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Lighting Lamp | Caves |
| S | Gathering Assistant | Scrap days |
| A | Combat assists | Once you already have a gun that hits |
Do not socket fashion first. Auto-Harvest Chamber snips plants from the combat drone; it is not a factory robot.
