Can attest torraquis isn't wrong. Something's up with the drones in Orb Vallis and it's fairly recent. As far as I can tell, the Vallis drones being disproportionately squishy goes back at most a month. They really do go down quick. Not an issue if you're running a lot of crowd control and nuking everything, but I'm not kidding when I say I've run it three times lately, twice with my girlfriend, and on all three counts, the SECOND enemies got within accurate shooting range, the drone's shields crashed and its health plummeted. Succeeded only on the last try, with the drone having only about 160 or so health left out of about 8000, I believe. Enemies were in the area of level 40, but that shouldn't be too relevant as the drone's defenses are supposed to scale to that, if I'm not mistaken. What's more, while the Plains drones are affected by Warframe powers, including some durability buffs, the Vallis drones clearly aren't at the moment. Can confirm, I run a healer Oberon build that grants about 115 health/second with 500+ armour. Plains drones are affected and consequently resilient, Vallis drones are not and it's a problem. I can also say the Vallis drones weren't nearly this fragile initially and hadn't been for as long as I can recall. Long story short, had nowhere near as much trouble with the other bounties on those same runs, and I didn't use to have more trouble with the drones in the past than was warranted, so something's definitely changed and it might be worth looking into.
