How to Get Beam Drone in Risk of Rain Returns

Welcome to this guide on how to obtain the Beam Drone in Risk of Rain Returns! The Beam Drone is a unique and powerful drone that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps required to acquire this rare drone. So, let's dive right in!

The Beam Drone can only be obtained by combining three Laser Drones. Laser Drones are special drones that shoot laser beams at enemies, dealing high damage. These drones are not common and typically spawn from the second zone up until the final zone. However, on Monsoon difficulty, there is a chance for them to appear earlier. Keep progressing through the zones to increase your chances of encountering these rare and expensive drones.

To create the Beam Drone, you need to ensure that all three Laser Drones are active simultaneously. This means finding them in separate locations and making sure they are online. Active Laser Drones will be floating in the air, shooting lasers at enemies. If you find a Laser Drone that is not active, you will need to activate it by defeating nearby enemies and interacting with the drone.

Once you have three active Laser Drones, it's time to find the Drone Combination Station. This station is a blue contraption with yellow robotic arms and can be found in any of the zones you visit during your playthrough. It is important to explore each zone thoroughly to locate the station. Keep in mind that the station may not always appear in every playthrough, so be prepared to explore multiple times.

Once you've found the Drone Combination Station, approach it with your active Laser Drones. Interact with the station to combine them and create the Beam Drone. The combination process takes a few seconds, and once it is complete, you will have a powerful Beam Drone floating by your side. Congratulations! You now have a floating death ray at your disposal.

If you prefer not to go through the process of combining Laser Drones, there is an alternative option available. In the final zone of Risk of Rain Returns (Contact Light), you may come across an existing Beam Drone waiting for you. This Beam Drone is already combined and ready to be used. However, keep in mind that the chances of finding this pre-combined Beam Drone are relatively low, so don't rely solely on this option.
