Destiny 2 Europe Security Drone Locations
Europa is one of Jupiter’s moons, and serves as the frozen home to 10 security drones:
- Load into Europa at the Beyond fast travel point. Turn around and look at the top of the Ziggurat for the first drone.
- Go to the abyss of Asterion. Look at the massive ice wall to the west and follow it until it intersects with a Vex structure. The drone is in the top left where they meet.
- Continue north, facing a distant (but inaccessible) town. Past a large cubic structure buried in the ice, and next to a rock, is a large crack in the ground. The drone is inside.
- Enter the Hidden Void Lost Sector of Asterion Abyss. Go through the first sealed door into a large room above a pool of Vex milk. Stay left and look towards an opening in a platform wall. The drone is in this space.
- Look north of the Eventide Ruins fast travel point to see the red glow of a bombed-out building. Go straight in and find the hatch that opens during the Deep Stone Crypt raid. The drone is just to the left.
- Go to the building that houses the entrance to the Lost Sector of Bunker E14. Jump to the top of the building interior and look in the southeast corner.
- Enter Bunker E15 and fight your way to the large central room just before the boss fight. Enter the covered area to the northeast of this space and follow the hallway to a small room. The drone will sit inside.
- Travel to Cadmius Ridge from the Charon’s Crossing fast pass point. Upon arrival, a large Vex structure will tower over the ice ridges. Follow the outline of the structure to the right and the drone will be visible nestled in the ice formation just ahead.
- On the western edge of Cadmius Ridge is the entrance to Bray Exoscience. Look to the left of the door, into the hollowed out space.
- Enter the Perdition Lost sector and fight your way to the boss. Once the enemies are eliminated, the drone will be near the Lost Sector chest.

Destiny 2 Moon Security Drone Locations
The 10 security drones on the Moon are accessible via the outside world or in certain Lost Sectors:
- Travel to Archer’s Line and immediately jump onto the large track leading to the main structure in the area. This drone is straight ahead where the runway meets the building.
- Enter the K-1 Logistics Lost Sector and fight your way to an open space that serves as a boss arena. When you enter this area, look to the far right corner to fight the drone.
- In the northwest corner of Anchor of Light is a large structure shaped like a radio tower. You will see our target near the top, at the bottom of the lattice spire.
- The southeast part of Anchor of Light is home to a massive Fallen ship. The next drone is right at the base of this ship, near some blue lights.
- Travel from Anchor of Light to Hellmouth. As soon as you reach the end of the narrow passages and the area opens up, look to the right, directly against the hive structure to find the drone.
- To the far west of Hellmouth is a series of small town-like structures. Near the center is a small lattice tower. The drone sits just above.
- Enter the K1 Crew Quarters Lost Sector. The drone can be found halfway through the Lost Sector, on the right side of the chasm near a building.
- Fast travel to Sorrow’s Harbor and head to the eastern edge of the area to the right of the Scarlet Keep. The security drone is in plain sight, near a Hive totem.
- The next drone is inside the Scarlet Keep itself. Head up the long entrance and keep aiming straight ahead. The Drone is at the back of this first area, slightly raised.
- Enter the K1 Revelations Lost Sector and head to a first section where you have to platform across a chasm. Don’t cross right away, instead look for a hanging net, with the drone barely hidden right behind it.
Destiny 2 Heist Battleground: Lunar Security Drone Locations
There are six security drones that require participation in Heist Battleground: Moon:
Destiny 2 Heist Battleground: Mars Security Drone Locations
The only six security drones on Mars will be located in Heist Battleground: Mars:
- As soon as you load up, head to the leftmost section, where a road leads away from this part of Mars. Backtrack to the center of the area and the drone will be right next to the end of an alley.
- Now head to the easternmost section of the map. The drone is right at the edge, behind some boxes and near a hive totem.
- Once you’ve completed the initial three objectives, you can enter the main building. As soon as you do, look up to find the drone near the ceiling.
- Continue through the battlefield until you reach an outer section with some jumping and climbing. Follow the path until you reach a large platform covered in enemies. At the bottom of the platform is a small staircase. The drone is at the foot of the stairs.
- Proceed to the back half of the platform, near the winding path that leads to the top. There will be a drone on the ceiling, near some pipes.
- Keep climbing the structure until you reach the top. Approach the large door, but do not enter. Instead, turn around and look up the building on your left. The Drone will be semi-visible near a small balcony.
Destiny 2 Operations: Seraph’s Shield Security Drone Locations
There are 12 security drones in total as part of the Operation Seraph’s Shield mission. You will need to play this mission at least three times. First, to get the Revision Zero Pulse Rifle. Then again to eliminate all drones, and one last time to complete Good Boy Protocol.
Before attempting to hunt down these security drones, make sure you have the Security Clearance Infiltrator and Tactical armor upgrades from the Exo Frame to the HELM This allows you to interact with special terminals that lock down access to drones and survive contact with the many scattered laser traps.
Many drones are hidden behind special terminals. When you interact with one of these terminals, a symbol is displayed. This exact symbol will be displayed somewhere in this room. Shoot it and another symbol will appear. Shoot all three to unlock the drone. There is a time limit, which will reset this puzzle if it runs out.
- Once the mission begins, you will have to fight your way past some security towers. You will eventually reach a platform guarded by an ogre. The first drone is in a room under the platform, accessible from a small door halfway up the right side. Use the terminal, find the symbols and shoot the drone.
- At the start of the mission, you’ll enter a room with an augmented scanner (the second time you see one), with a hidden vent on one side of the room. Go through these vents until you reach a small room with a door protected by laser traps. The drone is directly above this door once you go through it.
- The third drone is in the next section of the scanner. As soon as you enter the room, there will be a door to the right with another terminal puzzle. Complete it to open the door and reach the drone.
- The next drone is in another room with a scanner boost, just before the room with the trapped floors. The drone is inside one of the upper catwalks on the perimeter of this upper chamber. You will need to jump and enter a small opening to be able to shoot the drone.
- You will encounter your first Operator Augment in a small room. Don’t outrun the room just yet, though. One of the walls has a scannable terminal. Shoot the symbols in order as before to reach the drone behind the door.
- The next drone is behind a nearby room with a pair of Shriekers. Once you clear out the enemies, head to an opening in the back of the room and through some laser traps. Go to the bottom of this space to find the drone on the right side.
- Next, you’ll come to a room with some enemies and a machine to drop your Operator Augment into. Before proceeding with the boss fight in the next room, locate a terminal door on one of the walls. Complete the puzzle, shoot the drone and continue.
- You will now enter a boss fight room, but don’t start the fight just yet. Head to your direct left as you enter to activate another terminal. Shoot the symbols and detonate the drone before starting the fight.
- After the boss encounter, you will have a good old fashioned prison escape. Once you reach the outside of the station, you will be exposed to open space. Go past all the platforming puzzles until you reach the large, teeming interior section of Hive. The first door on the left in this area will be guarded by lasers. Cross to find the drone on the left side.
- After the section with the suppressor augment, you’ll reach the room just before the boss (note the rally flag in front). There is a door with a terminal in this room. Shoot the symbols to access the drone.
- The next drone is actually found after defeating the final boss. You’ll be prompted for access to a computer to complete the mission, but don’t do that yet. In the same room, on the right side, is another terminal door. You know the chorus.
- Adjacent to this door, on the opposite side of the room, is an opening guarded by a laser. Cross and find the last drone at the end of a corridor on the right.
Congratulations! Found all Security Drones. The next thing to do is restart Operation: Seraphs Shield and earn the chance to activate the Good Boy Protocol.
