Module 024

Module 024 can be found in the location marked on the map above.

To reach the drone you must climb the rock formation it circles around. Get onto a wooden ledge and wait for the drone to stop in front of you. Then jump on it and pull it down. Be careful - there's a powerful machine lurking nearby. For your safety you should implement stealth.

Module 047

Module 047 can be found in the location above [1].

To reach it you must climb the walls onto the gate-like structure. Then stand in the marked place and wait for it to fly closer. Once it does so, jump at it.

Module 287

Module 287 can be found in the location above.

To reach it you must climb the cliff nearby. The climbing spots will be highlighted by your Focus. At the top there's a ledge you can jump off to reach the drone.

Module 143

Module 287 can be found in the location above.

To reach it you must climb the wreck near to where the drone travels. The climb shouldn't be too problematic. Wait for the machine to get close and jump on it.

Module 367

You'll find this module in the southern area of The Stillsands region. Head down from the ruins where you found the Go Big ornament.

The drone circles a tower you can easily climb. You should know that you must run inside over the cluttered terrain, not up the wall. Higher on the tower there are some yellow handles you can use to reach the top. From there you must spot where the drone flies up to and jump onto it.

Module 143

This drone flies between the Cinnabar Sands and The Shining Wastes regions. You'll find it in the area pictured above.

To reach it easily you should jump from a wooden element at the top of the mountain. You shouldn't have any problems getting there. Jump onto the drone when it gets close to drag it down to the ground.

Module 549

This drone is located in the western area of the map, south of the ruins. You can easily reach this place if you've unlocked The Stand of the Sentinels Tallneck.

This place is only accessible with a Sunwing. Fly it near the trees, jump onto them, then onto the drone. It's the only real option you have.

Module 678

This drone circles the mountains east of The Stand of the Sentinels Tallneck. You must climb the snowy mountains to reach it.

This should be fairly simple. You must climb the wooden elements on the snowy mountain. When the drone gets close, jump down and Aloy should automatically grab it on her way down.

Module 389

This is yet another drone near The Stand of the Sentinels Tallneck. This one can be found in the woods, slightly south-west of the machine.

To get the drone you must climb onto the highest wooden ledge by the tree. You can reach it by using the wooden platforms or by jumping down from a Sunwing. When the drone approaches jump onto it to grab it.

Module 789

This drone patrols the north-western area of the map. It circles some easily-climbable mountains.

You must climb some sturdy wooden platforms and ledges. When the drone gets close, jump. This jump is long, so you should take a run-up first or use the Shieldwing.

Module 863

This module is located on an island that's only accessible after completing the Faro's Tomb main quest. You can't get there by just swimming. You must use the boat you receive during the quest.

To reach this drone you must jump onto it from a protruding metal plank Aloy can safely stand on. It's at the top of the building, you can climb the yellow handles to get there or use the Sunwing.
