If the player character is holding a {{favilink|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.{{Code Reference|class=DroidScramblerWeakness}}

When a {{name}} is affected by a droid scrambler, it will no longer grant [[XP]], even if the droid scrambler is dropped. However, yet-to-be-loaded waydroids will be unaffected.

* Their {{Favilink|shockrod|plural}} often create electrical arcs, making combat alongside them hazardous and infighting common once their current target has been dispatched.

* The non-dormant waydroids inside the Barathrumite enclave are a variant named "sleeping waydroids". They initially spawn asleep and are Barathrumite faction members (and thus are neutral toward the player by default, even without a scrambler).{{XML Reference|object|Sleeping Waydroid}}

* Although they were ostensibly built by the Barathrumites, waydroids found outside the enclave are not members of the Barathrumites faction. Waydroids used to have [[:Category:Waydroids (faction)|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.) Waydroids were changed to be members of the robots faction, while the defunct waydroids faction was later removed in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/333640/view/3349002486194482467 patch 2.0.203.41].

* Following the robots faction change mentioned above, sleeping waydroids inside the Barathrumite enclave, once awoken, were hostile toward the Barathrumites and the player (without a scrambler) by default. This was fixed in [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/333640/view/3099043193820601682 patch 2.0.203.18].
