Drone Defense 2 Original Drone Defense (The First Game)
7.1M visits, 50+ drones, ability shop — a different Roblox title you should not mix with the sequel.
Drone Defense 2 is a remake/sequel. The original Drone Defense! still exists, still has a playerbase, and still pollutes every Google search. If you followed a 2024 YouTube guide into the wrong lobby, this page is the disentangle.
Sequel play page: Drone Defense 2. Original: Drone Defense. Shared group and Discord. Shared warning that characters belong to Liam Vickers and Glitch Productions.
What is different
| Original | Sequel | |
|---|---|---|
| Place ID | 18410505618 | 138884751515999 |
| Created / scale | 2024-era, 7.1M+ visits | 25 Oct 2025, 1.1M+ visits |
| Roster | 50+ collectible drones | 15 unique-ability drones |
| Match helpers | Ability shop (Life Support, Extra Slot, …) | Perks |
| Codes UI | Bottom-left Codes | Left-side CODES! |
| Famous extra modes | Void, Solver, event shards | Void/Abyss listed, summer Shells |
If a guide mentions Event Shards, Bubble V, Shockwave J, or ‘ability slots,’ it is probably the original. If it mentions Shells, Ducky N, Scuba Tessa, or ‘increase the tiers of your units,’ it is the sequel — including this wiki.
Codes do not transfer
Heartbeat, FixCodes!!!, and the million-visit strings are original-game history. They sit on our sequel expired list so you stop pasting them. Sequel live codes are SECRET_01, 5K_COMMUNITY, 10K_GROUP, B3TT3R, Release until they die. Redeem each in the matching lobby only. See how to redeem.
Should you still play the original?
Yes if you like collecting 50 faces and already own that account’s progress. No if you wanted the 2026 event and the 15-drone kit — that is the sequel. Progress, VIP, and batteries do not carry across place IDs. You can join both; you cannot merge wallets.
Scripts and wikis
Original-game scripts will not drive sequel perks. Original Fandom unit tables will not match sequel Oil curves. Use this wiki for 2. Use the Murder Drones Roblox Wiki’s original pages for 1 if you must. Our roster will not import fifty skins to fake completeness.
When a creator titles a 2024 video ‘Drone Defense 2’ as a series episode, check the date. Universe 9031167776 did not exist yet. The Medium tutorial we embed on Getting Started is a 2026 sequel clear; that is the bar.
Play whichever you like. Just stop mixing the codes.
A practical test: open both places on two browser tabs. The sequel lobby still brands [SUMMER!] in late August 2026 and shows a left-side CODES! button; the original still talks about 50+ drones and an ability shop. If a friend sends you a loadout with Shockwave J and Extra Slot, they are coaching the first game. If they tell you to upgrade tiers because the Roblox description said so, they are coaching this one. Keep this wiki, the codes hub, and the drone roster on the sequel tab. Keep Fandom’s original unit list on the other tab if you still play both. Two games, two wallets, two code boxes — that is the entire warning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for codes, tiers, maps, and the Summer Event.
Can I move my original units to Drone Defense 2?
No. Different places, different indexes. You start the 15-drone kit fresh.
Why does Google show original codes?
The first game had years of roundups. Cross-check the sequel codes hub and this comparison table.
Is Void the same in both games?
The name came back. Payouts and doors may not. Read the sequel Void notes instead of a 2024 shard farm.
Which game is 'the real one'?
Both are live Solver Games titles. This wiki documents the sequel. The original remains playable on its own place ID.
