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 react like other robots (hostile by default). 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
- Their \shockrods often create electrical arcs, making combat alongside them hazardous and infighting common once their current target has been dispatched.
Trivia
- Although they were ostensibly built by the Barathrumites, waydroids are not members of the Barathrumites faction. Waydroids used to have their own hidden faction that was not mechanically related to the Barathrumites, except insofar as waydroids were neutral towards them. (The only other faction they were neutral towards was grazing hedonists; they were hostile towards all others.) They were changed to be members of the robots faction, while the defunct waydroids faction was later removed in patch 2.0.203.41.
- Waydroids inside the Barathrumite enclave used to be hostile without a scrambler. Also, prior to patch 2.0.203.18, sleeping waydroids inside the enclave would be hostile toward the Barathrumites.
