Upon arrival in dead space, I'm attacked buy a dozen or so drones. Many of these completely shrug off cruise missile hits and they are impossible to hit with guns.
My target is not here but on the other side if a gate. Does anyone have any tips to complete this mission?

Missiles work just fine on them. Just some of them have some pretty insane hit points.

Just did this msison today. used torps instead of cruise. first section was the toughest. darn drones ate down to my hull. I returned to the station, healed and took another run at it. The sentry drones I had respawned. Dealt with those. Second section was mostly frigates. You get a radio transmission at second and third gates from the named spy. You find the spy at third location. For me, there were four sentry drones II. They hit alot harder, but are doable without too much damage. Don't bother with any of the structures. Blew everything up and got nothing. Stupid "mobile residence" took over a 100 torps to destroy. What a waste!

the setup for this mission is easy.
this is a tempest i use (still designing) but its does all 3 points,
2 1400`s (fussion) 2 medium smart bombs (emp and explosive) 2 heavys missiles 2 torps
1 Large shield booster (tech 2 or c50) 2 Hardeners (emp and explosive) 1 Cap recharger 1 atb
lows slots
2 wcs (just in case) 4 pdu to keep up the tank.
Tatics
Lock the sentrys and kill them with the 1400`s. The smart bombs well take out all but the heavy drones which cant outrun the torps.
Next stage is simple torp or drone the mercenerys whilst moving to the gate, Trust me for this you shouldnt even need your shield booster or sb,
The last stage just stay still kill the sentrys and fire 2 torps at the named spy
Job done.
You cant beat Death
But you can make the bastard work hard for it

I do this mission in a Duramaller setup modified to include a webifier to slow the drones down (do almost all the level 3 missions in this setup) However my advice is warp in, ignore the turrets (I dont know if anyone else has noticed if you shoot the turrets everything in that section will attack you) Shoot one of the drones closest to you if none have locked you up. Lock up anything that targets you, ignore the rest. Kill the "gang" that have targeted you. Once they are dead move onto another target that hasnt yet locked you shoot it and lock anything that targets you. Rinse, repeat.
Every deadspace mission seems to have the rats organized into 2 or 3 "gangs" if you only disturb one at a time and stay out of agro range of the rest they are easy. The thing you DONT want to do is shoot the turrets or structures because everything will attack you all at once.
For Drone missions fit a webifier or a few smartbombs, and tank the ship for kinetic/thermal damage.

the level 3 nasty drones do emp damage so i recommend tank that if your a shield tank.
Also pick up the drone loot or book mark it then complete the mission after talking to your agent head towards the bookmark (quess what u can mwd now so have fun)

This is the ONLY level 3 kill mission that I have been offered that I have been unable to complete in my Caracal. I had to grab my Raven.
First part is the toughest. The 2nd and 3rd parts are easy by comparison.
While the drones in the first part do respawn if you leave, they do not 'all' respawn. Seems they gradually respawn over time. I forget which drone type does the most damage, but look at your combat log and when you go back, kill those first.

Yeah mate, you got that point. One of my corp mates just died a few minutes ago in his ferox. Seems to me CCP changed some lvl3 missions so that ppl with standard skills have to use their Battleship to get all those drones.

Well lol
I had this mission for 1st time yesterday
And man did I screw up lol
I lost a raven but was because was way off on setup and went aftr turrents 1st
I lost raven like 30 seconds could not warp out fast enough
I then later AFTER lol buying a new raven added a whole new setup and left turrets alone it was not so bad
I added to smart bombs lg to take them slow frigs out that fly so fast hard to even target and all went good
I did turrets last for they don;t do enough damage to bother you
I had 2 shield harders as well along with my lg booster and 2 caps'
I use torps they a tad slow but do the job
The 2nd and 3rd part are very easy just slow getting to gate lol

I was doing this in a scorpion yesterday.
First time I did it, I went straight for the towers. I had to warp out a couple of times after that.
Since learning to just tank the towers, and take out one group at a time, I no longer have to run in and out (unless I'm not paying attention)
rather than using resists, I just went for a large CL-5, and 4 shield boost amps.
I pit drones against drones, too, for those annoying close-range pests, rather than a smartbomb.
Still, once you've done it a couple of times it gets easier and easier, as you work out how many torps to throw at each different type of drone.
Fun mission, shame about the hike to the gates

Glad to know that this is the hardest lvl 3 kill mission. I successfully did this mission in a thorax and attacked the sentry towers first (oops). So if I don't attack the towers and shoot the drones first, this mission should be easier the next time. I'm looking forward to getting it again.

great tips, horath. They do work, which makes the mission way more doable solo. I also wish my maller had not been blown recently, cos shield tanking some of the drones is simply insane. The devastator drone alone kills shields like crazy in my caracal, and it ate like 3 full salvos of scourges like popcorn, without losing shields. Thank god armor is crap afterwards, but still.....
Only mistake i have done so far is i shot a drone that had not targeted me yet. And that does seem to trigger all drones in area to attack at the same time as well, so i had to run away, but next time i'll do it right for sure. And i really hope next tiers in this mission are slightly lighter
