Hell is Us includes 16 Drone Modules that can be collected. Collecting at least one version of each Drone Module (for a total of 8) is required for the trophy/achievement Tech Savvy.
There are 8 unique Drone Modules, each having an upgraded Elite version for a total of 16 that can be found. They are typically found in the game world on the bodies of OMSIF soldiers, or obtained from mysteries. You can equip 4 modules at a time on your Drone for unique combat abilities.
None of the Drone Modules are missable, so can all be collected after the story.
If you want to collect all Drone Modules as you progress you can follow the Hell is Us Collectible Walkthrough and you’ll get all trophies in 1 playthrough. It includes all trophies, collectibles, missables, and explains how to advance the story objectives.
Drone Modules
Drone Modules are listed below in alphabetical order, with the normal followed by Elite version of the same module.
