Drone Launcher is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Schematics That Unlock Drone Launcher
Drone Launcher is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |

Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Plasma Multicutter at 250 attack; step down and it is Drone Launcher at 230. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
