1st prone and dont move
2nd look high up in the sky
3rd deploy otus

Worked for me 100%

It might look silly to your squadmembers but hey you got the otus back

by the way, I can verify that this works 100% of the time in any location. +rep for figuring out the solution. thanks much.

I have had 100% success just by going prone as I deploy. The fact that the drone descends when it deploys is what kills you, so as long as you are moving downhill or go prone as you deploy, you will be fine. Just avoid deploying in tight spaces or while going uphill and you'll save yourself from getting a face full of drone

I have had it killme when just prone. perhaps i was unlucky. i will still look up, even if it out of superstition.

Sorry, I should have been clearer:

I always move forward while deploying as well. I walk (don't run, or it won't deploy) forward, hit fire and prone at the same time. You end up diving as it descends from standing height. That's how you avoid it. Also, as you move forward, it deploys behind you, so you are in front of it when it descends. The combination of factors results in it missing you every time

In the last four hours of me being a squad leader, I haven't once been killed by my drone. I crouch and look up, staying still as I deploy. It seems to work so far.

Know its a old post, but its been confirmed still in 1.25 that Otus will kill you if its bored from updating your Hud, killed me 4 times in past few days while deploying...

I don't have problems with it killing me, but I have problems with people killing it. Because of the reduced health the otus now appears to blow up every 10 seconds, whether it's hitting a building or by getting shot.
I can understand EA wanting to reduce the health on the sentry drones but why the otus aswell?

because it is the most powerful unlock in the game?

I wonder why the 1.25 patch doesn't fix the "exploding" part of the Otus...
