Answered my own question so turned this into an answer thread.

Can't even get my name listed, though admittedly I didn't publish it under my name.

You're missing the proximity mine module which is also obtained from a SPARK engineer. Both the mine and turret can be cut off the left leg.

I did read about the proximity mine being a thing, but can confirm that it isn’t required for the trophy as I never obtained it. I’ll add it to the list though, just in case. Thanks!

I did credit the list as best I could! :D

Ah ok. I grabbed it because I wasn't sure if it was required or not. You are very welcome though.

So i guess this trophy is missable, if some drones only can be required from bosses?. I have already beaten them.

Like DK said, it isn't required. It's possible others are not required too, like it doesn't include consumables, I just know when I got the trophy I wrote the guide with what information I had. Since the community for this game was so small and it's way too hard to figure some things out (you can only obtain a drone again if you start a new file) I just estimated some of them and made such to include the most important ones.

 

Most people will probably get to the end without JAG-1000 ‘Carnivore’ Shotgun, VULC-88 ‘Panthera’ Rotary Gun and/or SPARK Engineer’s Turret if they didn't use a guide.

Well, kind of. You can correct any problems in NG + whatever you need if you want. A new cycle is not that hard. Once I had someone tell me the trick to get the Carnivore shotgun I had a save immediately after Little Johnny on NG+ and I was able to rush from that med station to a SPARK for the turret and then went to the hotel, go through the garden and activate everything, kill the boss and obtain the module, kill the other boss, go to the command post, go through that for the hook, go back to the start, save and made a copy, followed by going back to see the boss and earn the last module I needed (this was on a save before I had those things) and got the platinum in like an hour and a half. Mind you, I skipped practically every fight, literally ignored everything I could and all that but still, you can ignore most things, just kill some enemies for weapons and get enough scrap to upgrade your weapon and probably beat the game in four to five hours.

I was personally missing the shotgun and rotary gun after my first playthrough so grabbed those on NG+. And yeah, since the trophy says modules, you can probably skip anything that’s just a consumable.

Thanx man youre right you han rush trough the game pretty fast just following the storyline ?? in going för NG+ mor and i rally love these games.

Finishing Highball's quest at Cloud 9 only got me a weapon. I obtained the Spark Enlightener Beam module from cutting an enemy's limb but unfortunately I can't remember exactly which one. He will shoot an electrical beam at you though so it's fairly easy to figure out the enemy you need.

 

Also, I got the GAIA Laser from the enemies that are stuck in nanite in Gideon's Rock. Do you get it anyway via story progression?

this is currently the truth for me as well and I’m currently and actively playing through the game in the present.. I don’t have the trophy for all drones but I can confirm that everything in the quote above was exactly the same for me

Clarification

[xxdmcgee2288xx]

So u only need to beat Ezra to get all drones? So half a playthrough?
