A man-sized cylinder hovers just above the floor. They emit a low, menacing hum as they glide slowly, searching for intruders with their many protruding sensor arrays. A long, articulated arm, ending in a sparking rod, dangles from their side.

Waydroids are robots typically found in Grit Gate. According to Argyve, they were built by the Barathrumites to guard Grit Gate.

Droid Scrambler Vulnerability

If the player character is holding a droid scrambler either in their main inventory or an equipment slot, waydroids are initially friendly towards them and their companions. Otherwise, they are hostile. The scrambler has no effect if held by a creature that is not the player character or dominated by the player character. In particular, having a companion hold it is ineffectual.[1]

Being affected by a droid scrambler even once renders a waydroid permanently unable to grant XP.

Tips

  • Even those waydroids inside of the Barathrumite enclave proper are hostile without a scrambler.

Trivia

  • Although they were ostensibly built by the Barathrumites, waydroids have their own hidden faction that is not mechanically related to the Barathrumites except insofar as waydroids are specifically neutral towards them. This causes their behavior to be based almost entirely on the presence or absence of the droid scrambler and not influenced by Barathrumite faction rep.
