Drone Parts in Last War: Survival are one of the main resources required to upgrade your drone. As the drone reaches higher levels, the number of parts needed increases sharply, making long-term planning increasingly important.
However, Drone Parts are only one part of the upgrade process. Players must also collect Battle Data and develop other drone systems such as components and chips. This guide explains where to get Drone Parts, how many are required, and how to spend them efficiently.
What Are Drone Parts?
Drone Parts are used at major stages of drone progression. Each listed milestone is divided into five upgrade stages, and every stage requires a specific number of parts.
Completing all five stages allows you to finish that major drone level, assuming you also have enough Battle Data and any other required materials.
Drone Parts should not be confused with Drone Components. Parts are primarily connected to drone leveling, while components support a separate development system.
Battle Data is the other main resource used throughout the drone upgrade path. Read the Last War Battle Data guide to compare requirements and farming methods.
Why Drone Parts Matter
The drone supports your formations through combat bonuses and additional progression systems. As its level increases, it can provide more value to your main squads.
Drone Parts help you:
- Complete major drone upgrade stages.
- Reach higher drone levels.
- Unlock additional drone progression.
- Improve bonuses that support combat performance.
- Prepare for more advanced component and chip systems.
A stronger drone does not replace hero, troop, research, or gear development. It works alongside those systems as part of your account’s total combat strength.
Where to Get Drone Parts
Drone Parts may be available through several recurring and limited-time sources. The exact availability can change between events, stores, and server progression stages.
Daily Tasks
Daily objectives may provide Drone Parts directly or contribute to reward chests that contain them. Complete daily activity consistently to build a steady supply.
VIP Store
The VIP Store may offer Drone Parts for purchase. Compare the cost with other limited items before spending premium currency or VIP-specific resources.
Alliance Store
Alliance activity can provide currency that may be exchanged for Drone Parts. Check the store regularly and prioritize purchases according to your current progression bottleneck.
Campaign Store
Drone Parts may appear in the Campaign Store. Before buying them, compare their value with hero shards, gear materials, or other account priorities.
Special Events
Events may provide Drone Parts through milestones, rankings, exchanges, or activity rewards. These are often among the best opportunities to collect larger quantities.
Reward Chests
Some selectable or random chests may contain Drone Parts. Save selectable chests until you know whether Drone Parts or Battle Data is limiting your next upgrade.
Paid Packs
Drone Parts may also appear in paid offers. Compare the number of parts, additional items, price, and your remaining requirements before purchasing.

Note: Treat these figures as supplied values that should be checked against the current in-game upgrade screen. Requirements may change through game updates or progression adjustments.
How Drone Part Requirements Increase
Drone Part requirements rise gradually through the early levels, but the increase becomes much sharper after level 120.
The progression can be divided into three general phases:
- Early progression: Requirements are relatively low and can often be supported through regular tasks and store purchases.
- Mid-game progression: Events and careful resource management become more important.
- High-level progression: Each milestone may require hundreds or thousands of parts, making them a major account bottleneck.
Players approaching level 120 should begin saving parts early rather than relying only on rewards collected after reaching the milestone.
Drone Parts After Level 150
The supplied article states that Drone Parts are required for every individual drone level after level 150 rather than only at five-level milestones.
- Levels 151 to 160: 500 Drone Parts per level
- Levels 161 to 170: 600 Drone Parts per level
- Levels 171 and above: 700 Drone Parts per level
These values represent a major increase in long-term demand. Verify the current requirements in the game before planning exact totals because later-level systems may change.
How to Farm Drone Parts Efficiently
Complete Daily Activity
Daily rewards provide consistent long-term value. Missing them repeatedly can create a large Drone Part deficit over time.
Save Store Currency
Keep enough Alliance Store, Campaign Store, or other relevant currency available when Drone Parts appear. However, do not ignore higher-priority limited items.
Plan Around Events
Review upcoming event rewards before spending tickets, stamina, or other resources. Some events may provide more Drone Parts for activities you already planned to complete.
Keep Selectable Chests Unopened
Selectable rewards are more valuable when you wait until a clear bottleneck appears. Do not choose Drone Parts automatically if Battle Data or another material is currently more difficult to replace.
Compare Paid Pack Value
If considering a purchase, calculate how many parts remain before the next meaningful upgrade. A pack has less value if another resource will still block progression.
Join an Active Alliance
Alliance participation can help you earn store currency, event rewards, and other resources that contribute to drone progression.
Drone Parts vs. Battle Data
Drone Parts and Battle Data must be managed together. Having a large supply of one resource does not guarantee that you can complete the next upgrade.
Before selecting or purchasing either resource, compare:
- Your current Drone Parts balance
- Your current Battle Data balance
- The requirements for the next five stages
- The rewards available from upcoming events
- Whether either resource can be obtained from daily activities
- Whether another drone system is blocking progression
Drone Parts may be harder to replace for many players, but the real bottleneck varies by account and drone level.
How the Component Factory Supports Drone Development
The Component Factory produces Drone Component Chests, which support a separate part of the drone system. This means a high drone level alone does not complete your development.
The Last War Component Factory guide explains how component production works and why regular collection matters.
A complete drone progression plan should include:
- Drone Parts
- Battle Data
- Drone Components
- Drone chips
- Building upgrades
- Event timing
When Should You Save Drone Parts?
Saving Drone Parts can be more efficient than spending them immediately, especially when the next level does not provide a major benefit or another resource is missing.
Consider saving when:
- You do not have enough Battle Data to complete all stages.
- A drone upgrade event may begin soon.
- You are close to a major milestone but cannot complete it yet.
- A selectable chest may provide a harder-to-obtain resource later.
- You are approaching the steep requirement increase after level 120.
Consider upgrading immediately when all required materials are available and the new level provides a useful combat or progression bonus.
Common Drone Part Mistakes
Spending Parts Without Enough Battle Data
Beginning an upgrade path without enough Battle Data may leave the drone stuck partway through the five-stage process.
Ignoring Daily and Store Sources
Small recurring rewards become significant over time. Missing them makes later-level requirements harder to meet.
Choosing Drone Parts From Every Chest
Another resource may be more limited. Check the next upgrade requirement before making a selection.
Buying Packs Without Calculating the Remaining Requirement
A pack may look valuable but still leave you far from the next level. Calculate the full cost before purchasing.
Ignoring the Level 120 Requirement Increase
Drone Part costs rise sharply after this point. Start saving before reaching the higher milestones.
Focusing Only on Drone Level
Components, chips, heroes, troops, gear, and research remain important. One highly developed drone system cannot compensate for weaknesses everywhere else.
Drone Chips and Advanced Optimization
As your drone reaches higher levels, chip selection becomes another important part of account optimization. Different chip attributes can support damage, durability, or other formation priorities.
The Last War Drone Chip priority guide explains which chip improvements may deserve attention after your core drone progression is established.

How many Drone Parts are needed at level 150?
The supplied table lists 5,000 total parts across five stages, or 1,000 parts per stage.
What happens after drone level 150?
The supplied article states that Drone Parts are needed for every level after 150, with the requirement increasing across later level ranges.
Are Drone Parts harder to obtain at higher levels?
The availability of Drone Parts may not change, but the quantity required rises significantly. This makes progression slower even when the same sources remain available.
Should I buy Drone Parts from stores?
Buy them when they are your main bottleneck and the store price does not prevent you from purchasing a more important limited item.
Are Drone Part packs worth buying?
The value depends on the price, number of parts, additional rewards, and how close the purchase brings you to a meaningful upgrade.
Should I save selectable drone chests?
Yes, when possible. Saving them allows you to choose the resource that becomes your actual bottleneck later.
Conclusion
Drone Parts are a critical resource for drone progression in Last War: Survival. Daily tasks, stores, alliance participation, events, chests, and paid offers can all contribute to your supply, but requirements become much larger at higher levels.
Track Drone Parts and Battle Data together, save selectable rewards until you know your bottleneck, and prepare early for the steep cost increases after level 120. Full drone development should also include components, chips, hero progression, troop strength, and research.
Reaching a high drone level requires thousands of Drone Parts, large amounts of Battle Data, advanced components, upgraded chips, and repeated event participation. Players who prefer to begin with a more developed drone, stronger heroes, and established account progression can explore a Last War account for sale through Heaven Guardian. Available listings may include different drone levels, hero lineups, Headquarters progression, resources, lifetime warranty, and premium support, depending on the selected account.
