Deniiiise

I'm having this same issue. Defending the drone seems impossible at times because it dies incredibly fast. Doesn't even matter if I go after the groups of enemies at closer ranges since they spawn all over the place and far away or stay near the drone to deal with attackers from afar. The issues I see with this is that a) the drone is way too squishy and b) the attackers' range is so far that they can kill the thing from half the map away. In combination, these two factors make it near impossible to keep it alive. The only times I can get this to work is when the drone spawns inside the walled base(s?) where the attackers spawn close enough to the drone that I can both see and attack them. Out in the open, it takes anywhere from 15-30 seconds for the drone to die. With how spread out the enemies are, I can't get the 30 kills in that time before the drone is toast. Bringing a team seems to make this even worse because one person will zoomzoom to the place where the defence is supposed to take place, immediately melt the drone, proceeding to the next stage and 5-10 seconds later the thing is destroyed. Meanwhile, the other 3 people are still trying to get to the place. And 5-15 bounties should not require a team to begin with even if we disregard that this only makes it harder.
