Shooting 50 of them is a lot.
The mysterious yellow Security Drones have been making Destiny 2 players scratch their heads since the beginning of Season of the Seraph. Though these cryptic yellow balls were immune to all damage, the release of the Revision Zero Exotic pulse rifle gave fans an answer to the purpose of the devices—but also raised far more questions than it answered.
The triumphs page for Season of the Seraph shows 50 Security Drones spread out throughout Europa, the Moon, all three Heist Battlegrounds maps, and even the Seraph Station in Operation: Seraph's Shield. Though immune to regular damage, shooting any of these yellow balls with Revision Zero destroys them and drops one or two Seraphic Umbral Energy. Shooting all 50 yellow Security Drones gives players a triumph and a sparrow. Perhaps more importantly, though, destroying all 50 floating yellow balls also opens a mysterious secret door in Operation: Seraph's Shield, in the area where you take down Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers (the Hive boss) for good.
Not all of these drones are available early on, though, even if you can bypass the lasers with some trickery such as Eager Edge, Titan shoulder charges, Icarus Dashes, or Blinks. Some of the yellow orbs in Operation: Seraph's Shield require the Security Clearance upgrade from the Exo Frame to unlock. If you want to make a dent in the triumph or just want to know where to find all Security Drones, here's where you can find all of these floating yellow balls across all destinations, based on our research and on information from content creators 360GameTV, FalloutPlays, and Kimber Prime.

Some of these Security Drones aren't accessible through normal means if you don't have the Security Clearance upgrade since they’re locked behind doors, though out-of-bounds techniques can do the trick. You’ll also need some subterfuge to bypass some of the traps.
To fly through the lasers guarding some of these drones, you can use a sword's normal or heavy attack, as well as a Blink, a well-timed Icarus Dash, Titan melee abilities, Thruster, and even Thundercrash. The trick seems to be the timing, hitting the button just as your guardian is about to hit the laser. The Tactical Armor Exo Frame upgrade may also make it easier to soak up the damage from the lasers.

He's been a freelance writer since 2019, and legend has it you can summon him by pinging an R-301 or inviting him to run a raid in Destiny 2 (though he probably has worse RNG luck than the D2 team combined). When he's not shooting Dregs, you can see him raising the dead in Diablo IV or getting third-partied in DMZ. Find his ramblings on his Twitter @ggpedroperes.
