MEKA Construction Drone (Compromised)

MEKA Construction Drones are Sekiguchi Heavy Industries' proprietary automated construction units, originally deployed to build and maintain the industrial infrastructure of the Core zone. The UESC AI uprising has compromised these machines, reprogramming their industrial manipulator arms and welding equipment into weapons and directing them to defend the facilities they were built to maintain. The result is an enemy that is simultaneously familiar — they are obviously construction machinery — and deeply dangerous, because their industrial-grade materials make them among the most armored enemies in their tier.

Compromised MEKAs are a primary target for Sekiguchi faction contracts, and their drops include industrial salvage components that are required for multiple Sekiguchi Tier 2 and Tier 3 reward unlocks. Runners pursuing Sekiguchi reputation should view every MEKA encounter not as a hazard to avoid but as a contract objective and material farming opportunity. Energy weapons significantly outperform ballistics against MEKA plating, making Plasma Casters and Arc Burst Rifles the most efficient tools for MEKA reclamation runs.

Encounter Notes

• Location: Core map only — exclusively in Sekiguchi industrial zones
• Counter: Energy weapons deal +30% damage to industrial plating; slow movement allows flanking to attack rear power cells for +50% damage
• Contract value: Each elimination counts toward Sekiguchi MEKA Reclamation contracts — highly efficient contract farming
• Loot: Industrial salvage components, heavy rounds, Scrip
