Orokin Drones Immune To Direct Melee

[HappyApathy]

Unlike Osprey's which can be swatted out of the air if they are within melee striking range, Orokin drones seemingly can't be hit by direct melee attacks. They can still be affected by melee attacks that cause AoE damage (like the Jat Kittag ground slam), but are otherwise immune to melee.

Nope, You can still hit 'em. It takes more skill though ~ jump spin attack.

[HappyApathy]

You don't need to jump spin to get an Osprey if its floating right in front of you, an Orokin Drone can be floating right in your face and you still can't hit it.

 

I've tried meleeing right into groups of them that are floating at eye level or below, you can't hit them.

 You are wrong, you can't hit the OROKIN drones with direct melee

[CyklonDX]

you can... I've destroyed countless with only melee...

[Kharn-The-Betrayer]

Maybe with jump attacks, but not with direct melee.

They seem pretty immune to me:

No one said it is easy; but its possible... try jump spin attacks... They do take dmg.

Do you have watch the video? at 0:24 sec? CAME AN !

 

It's clearly impossible to hit them with melee.

Whine less, and try more. Its true its too hard.

As a Loki with Radial Disarm (which causes drones and ospreys to go to foot level and follow the  player around), I can definately say standard and sliding melee's do not damage them. They only seem affected by AoE from slam attacks.

Maybe your right, I haven't seen it happen though, but even so I shouldn't need to do a jump spin to get Drones that are floating at the heights I showed in the video, all types of Ospreys and even Regulators can be hit by normal melee if they are flying low enough unlike Drones.

Want to bump this as it's still an issue, would be nice to know if its been looked into. Not been able to melee drones really breaks the flow if your trying to do a mainly melee run in a void map.
