There are quite a few trophies/achievements to unlock while running around as P and Orbie in Motorslice, the atmospheric 3rd-person action game about traversing an inconceivably large megastructure and fighting giant construction vehicles. While you’ll get several of these just by playing through the game, we wanted to help with some of the other trophies/achievements you could miss. So, here is our All Drone Orbs Locations guide for Motorslice, helping you find every orb drone in the game!
This can also help you to unlock the Drone Orb trophy/achievement for successfully retrieving 30 orb drones.
Check out our Motorslice Review for our full thoughts on the game.
NOTE: This guide is a work in progress. It is being updated, and we thank you for your patience.
All Drone Orb Locations Guide
Throughout the world of Motorslice, or at least the incomprehensible megastructure that P is investigating, lost orb drones are waiting to be collected. P can spot them by using her scanner, with the orbs highlighted in cyan.
To collect a lost orb drone, you need to get close enough to it to activate it so it follows P, and then lead it back to the closest triangle checkpoint, which also shows up when using P’s scanner. There is no limit to the number of orb drones that P can have following her at one time, but any orbs still following her when she dies will be reset.
There are a few special orb drones that need to be collected in under a certain amount of time, which have yellow lights instead of the usual blue. Sometimes, you’ll need to collect several of these at once, normally involving figuring out what order to collect them in and reach the checkpoint.
Lastly, you can track which orb drones you have collected across each chapter by checkpoint in the Chapter Select menu.

Prologue
Orb Drone 1
The first orb drone is found just after you learn to parry when facing the crane. Cross over its arm and enter the dark area to see the orb up high, backlit with godrays.
Climb up and jump between the orange girders and poles on either side of this dark room, and grab the orb drone once you’re on the stairs. Carry it to the Triangle up the stairs to send it away safely.
Orb Drone 2
The other orb drone in the Prologue is found down a path to the right near the evac point, sitting on the gangway of a crane. Jump across to grab it and bring it back for a safe delivery.
Chapter 1 – City
Checkpoint_01
Orb Drone 3 & 4
The first two Orb Drones are close together, with one hiding at the bottom of the tall building in the dark room you enter by turning a valve. Go through the hole in the wall and go around the bottom to find the first one, with the other one behind the building. Take them to the top of the structure to find the evac point.
Checkpoint_02
Orb Drone 5
Several orb drones can be found in the area at the beginning of Chapter 1, where the “City” title card appears. Cross over the gap and go to the right, hopping over the fence and going to the end. Inside an alcove is an orb drone. Head back and take it to the evac point on top of the orange shipping container.
Orb Drone 6
The next orb drone is tucked up in the shadows on the other side of the area. Wall run and jump onto the little ledge sticking out from the structure, and jump up to reach it. Take it back to the same evac point.
Orb Drone 7
To get to this orb drone, hop over the two fences and then jump at the wall run up it, then jump back to collect the orb. Another quick run back to the evac point.
Orb Drone 8
Opposite the yellow “bridge” is a shadowy alley. Turn on your torch and chain wall runs around one end of the U-shaped alley to pick up this orb drone at the back. You know what to do with it by now.
Orb Drone 9
This orb drone is easy to spot, as it floats out in the open above a broken pillar. It’s passed the yellow “bridge” and alleyway. Another one for the evac point!
Orb Drone 10
Cross the yellow “bridge” and head around the left side of the building in front of you. At the back of it is an orb drone.
Orb Drone 11
Cross back over and head to the right, jumping over the gap and slicing up the two machines on the other side. Tucked in the corner is the next orb drone, but make sure to jump at it from the side to jump off the wall back to safety. Cart it back to the evac point.
Orb Drone 12
The next orb drone is after you have used the chainsaw to grind across a wall, reaching a long, dark chasm with yellow poles crossing it. Wall run up the other wall and climb up it using the cracks to find this orb drone at the top. The nearest evac point is a short distance back along the path you sliced through.
Checkpoint_03
Orb Drone 13
This orb drone is a bit further on in a large, dark chamber, after you have pushed a block against a wall to progress. On the next floor, there are some vertical yellow girders to your right that you can jump between. Grab the orb drone between the last two and then return to the platform where the evac point waits.
Checkpoint_04
Orb Drone 14
An orb drone is hiding above the roof access door through which you exit onto a roof. Run up the slope to grab it, and then take it to the evac point just a few steps away behind the door.
Orb Drone 15
Another orb drone is hiding nearby, on a yellow pole just below the ledge in front of the roof access door. Take it back to the same evac point as the last one.
Orb Drone 16
The next orb drone is near the “Slack Off” point. Slide or vault over the chute and grab it on the metal walkway. I recommend taking it back to the evac point on the first roof.
Orb Drone 17
You’ll find this orb drone after jumping down to a lower rooftop and killing a machine. Look back across to the building you were on to see it on the other side of the walkway. Vault over and jump from the fence, then climb up the cracks to reach it. Mantle up to the walkway and run back along it to find the evac point at the edge of a roof.
Orb Drone 18
After fighting an excavator in a dark chamber with pillars, leave through the exit and use the valve to your left in the alcove to move the fence. Wall-run where the fence was to reach a crack in the wall. Slide down to the bottom and go left to find this orb drone.
Use the crack in the wall to get back up and go to the top to reach the evac point.
Orb Drone 19
The next orb drone is floating near a ledge where an excavator is guarding some stairs. You need to use your chainsaw to knock the concrete block on the other side of the room to knock off the ledge and touch the drone so it follows you. Take it back to the evac point where you dropped into this area.
Checkpoint_05
Orbe Drone 20 & 21
These two orb drones are found close to each other after you have chained some wall runs across a corridor with no floor. The first is on top of the corridor, so just jump up and grab it, while the second one is reached by running up and jumping off the wall near the stairs. Take them both to the evac point in the middle of this room.
Orb Drone 22
When you reach a dark room with poles you need to shimmy and swing on to reach the other side, look to the left and tucked against the wall is an orb drone. Use the poles to reach it, then continue forward through the short parkour sequence to reach the evac point.
Orb Drone 23
The last orb drone in Chapter 1 is just below the ledge near the Slack Off point you reach just after the evac point. Jump down to it and then wall run back up.
Chapter 2 – Canal
Checkpoint_01
Orb Drone 24
The first orb drone in Chapter 2 is hidden under the stairs just before the game introduces the flying machine enemies. Grab it and take it over to the nearby evac point.
Checkpoint_02
Orb Drone 25
The next orb drone is tucked in a corner near a splicable wall guarded by several excavators and buzzsaw launchers. Once you’ve collected it, ride your chainsaw up the wall and jump to the poles at the top. Swing along them and then run to your left.
Slide down the side of the canal and jump to the other side to reach the evac point.
Orb Drone 26 & 27
These two orb drones are hiding together for a 2-in-1. Go through the corridor full of mechanical tentacles and slide through the gap at the end on your right. In this room is a trap you need to wall run past to reach the two drones. Bring them back to evac point outside.
Orb Drone 28
The next orb drone is found after riding your chainsaw up the wall of the canal to a higher area. Go to the right and run to the last set of red doors, which will open to reveal the drone. Escort it back to the evac point.
Orb Drone 29
Run back past where you found the last orb drone and look down the side of the canal near an orange girder to spot this orb drone below you on a ledge. Slide down to collect it, then make your way back up via the long stretch of exposed metal to reach the evac point.
Orb Drone 30
This orb drone is found where you twist the valve to let the cement start flowing down the canal. Use the vertical pipe by the entrance onto the walkway to get onto the pipes overhead. Run along them carefully to reach the drone at the other end. Drop down and take it to the evac point on the walkway.
Orb Drone 31
Run along the walkway and jump to the flight of stairs on your left. Go down the steps to find this orb drone, and return it to the evac point we used before.
Checkpoint_03
Orb Drone 32 & 33
These two orb drones are situated on two floors of the structure in the above screenshot.
The first one is at the very edge to your right as soon as you enter the building. The second one is in the back right corner on the floor above.
Climb up to the roof where three buzzsaw launchers float menacingly, and take your quarry to the evac point nearby.
Orb Drone 34 & 35
There’s another duo of orb drones on he structure on the roof. Wall jump onto the girder and then climb up it to reach the drones. Be careful when jumping between the beams. Take them back to the evac point.
Checkpoint_04
Orb Drone 36 & 37
A third couplet of orb drones is next up, hidden where you have to jump down a lower walkway over the flowing cement. The first one is at the lower end, and you need to navigate over a grinder trap to get it, and the second one is at the higher end, and you need to climb the pipes to jump and reach it.
Jump down or use the crack in the wall to reach the broken walkway below and take the drones to the evac point at the end.
Orb Drone 38
Turn the valve in the room opposite the evac point to extend the pole leading to the orb drone floating in the middle of the canal. Wall run to the bridge with the pole, collect the drone, and send it on its way.
Orb Drone 39
The next orb drone is found where you have to cross the canal using chainsaw traversal. Get on top of the first piece of orange metal, and run back to the wall to find the drone.
Continue forward to find the next evacuation point.
Orb Drone 40, 41 & 42
After the cutscene showing the Chapter 2 boss crashing through the wall of the canal, there are three orb drones to collect in one go. Run past the evac point and go around the chainlink fence to drop down to a ledge below. Jump along the ledges to your left to find the first drone.
Drop inside the dark room and locate the second drone in the dark. Wall run and climb up the cracks in the wall to reach the third drone floating by some horizontal poles.
Swing back using the poles and take the trio of orb drones to the evac point on the outside wall.
Orb Drone 43
This orb drone is tucked out of the way, and one I missed my first time through. After crossing the cement river by jumping between the debris, jump to the crack in the wall and go to the left. Wall run to another crack and follow it aaaaaaall the way to find the orb drone waiting on some pipes.
Return the way you came and climb up the cracks to the hole in the way to reach the evac point.
Orb Drone 44
Go through the door by the evac point and then mantle up to the flight of stairs on the wall. You need to jump across to another flight of stairs to reach the orb drone at the top. Return it to the evac point back at the bottom.
Checkpoint_05
Orb Drone 45
The next orb drone is found inside the large caverns. After jumping down from the large pipe, look for a crack in the wall to run along and reach the drone. The evac point is situated on the side of the ruin, back near the pipe.
Orb Drone 46 & 47
Later on in the caverns, you’ll come across a stack of concrete blocks after running along another large pipe. At the top of it is an orb drone.
A second drone is also close by, and you need to knock one of the blocks down to touch it. Use the viewfinder as a point of reference. Take them both to the evac point on one of the large pipes.
Orb Drone 48
Continue forward until you reach a room with two swinging roller traps. There is an orb drone on the left-hand wall. Grab it and take it to the evac point past this room.
Orb Drone 49 & 50
There are two orb drones to collect near the evac point you just used, but they are tricky to reach. Locate the concrete block near the edge and knock it over to the other side using your chainsaw. The goal is to knock it down onto the walkway below, next to the wall.
Drop down and knock the block along the walkway until it is under a crack, helping you reach it. Climb up the rack and along to the right to find the first drone hovering near the wall. The second drone is further along, on top of the archway near the evac point.
Orb Drone 51
The next orb is found during the next platforming sequence. You need to slide down the first girder and then a second one to reach it. You can’t go back to the previous evac point, but thankfully, the next one is not far ahead.
Orb Drone 52
The last orb drone in Chapter 2 is one of the trickiest in the whole game, and it’s just after reaching the evac point with the last drone. The goal is to use P’s chainsaw to grind high along the exposed metal, jump at the end, and quickly tuck into a ball, allowing you to adjust P’s trajectory and turn towards the pipe to land. It may take more than a few attempts, but you respawn just before the boss fight, ready to try again.
Once you’ve made it, jump along the pipes to find the orb drone hidden away, and bring it back to the evac point (don’t worry, the return journey is much easier.
