Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been officially launched. Grab your arm cannon, stock up on Energy Tanks, and prepare to fight off alien threats. Players again take on the role of bounty hunter Samus Aran, exploring a strange planet filled with secrets, collectibles, and enemies to defeat.
One mini-boss you’ll face is the Flight Drone MCU. This appears after activating the Tower 2 generator in the Volt Forge area. The drone is powerful and tricky to beat if you don’t know how to handle it. Here’s what you need to do to defeat the Flight Drone MCU.
The Flight Drone MCU has an energy shield protecting its core, making it resistant to most attacks. To disable the shield and cause the drone to malfunction, you need to destroy the three floating orbs circling around its body. Unlike the Carvex fight, all three orbs must be destroyed nearly simultaneously.
When the fight starts, scan the drone and target the smaller drones flying around it. Use charged shots to take them out quickly, thinning their numbers before launching a counterattack. Clearing these drones will make the main fight easier.
The drone has basic attacks based on the position of the energy spheres. If they’re vertical, it will charge a laser beam or shoot electrified orbs. Both attacks can be dodged by sidestepping quickly.
Watch for when the energy spheres move horizontally and spin around the drone. This is your cue to enter scan mode and fire a Control Beam shot by holding and releasing the A button. This shot allows you to guide a beam around the drone, hitting and destroying all three energy spheres. Be careful if you accidentally hit a cluster of floating drones, as this will cancel your shot. If that happens, switch to Morph Ball mode and roll under the drone as it approaches.
Once all the energy spheres are destroyed, the drone will short-circuit and its shield will drop. Take this opportunity to fire missiles at the drone. After a few moments, the shield will come back, and more smaller drones will swarm the boss. Repeat the process of destroying the energy spheres and attacking until the mini-boss is defeated. The fight usually lasts for two stages. Spamming missiles during shield downtime can speed things up.
As a reward, you won’t get any special gear for defeating the Flight Drone MCU, but successfully overcoming the challenge is an accomplishment.
