Unlockable Droids in Star Wars Zero Company are teased early on, with a broken Astromech droid back in the den that's reminscent of R2-D2, and which more than one character comments on repairing so that they can be added to the team. Droids can actually end up becoming one of the most valuable support characters in the whole game, so I'll explain how to unlock them in Zero Company, as well as how to get more of them beyond that first little robot recruit.

To unlock Astromech Droid operators in Zero Company, you need to take the following steps:

Once that's done, you'll be able to hire new Droids from the Recruitment table as well as the one you just got.

Astromech Droids are a unique support specialization and class in Star Wars Zero Company with certain nuances, listed below:

This makes Astromechs extremely powerful in certain sorts of parties, acting as a Healer/Support class. I found they pair very well with the game's one Jedi character, who burns through AP and often needs healing, both of which Droids can provide easily. However, they have no offensive abilities unless you equip them with grenades, and even then will only get a few uses per Grenade equipped.

No, there are no other types of Droid available to recruit in Star Wars Zero Company. Yes, M-3VO is a supporting character and there are plenty of different Droids present as enemies, such as the Star Wars Zero Company Destroyer Droid boss fight, but none that can be added to the team and uses in mission besides the standard Astromech droids.
