Drone Majors are more skilled in combat than Drone Minors, and will often use [[Needler]]s. They can drain your shields in seconds when playing in legendary difficulty, and are extremely lethal after you're vulnerable. They still are a fairly easy kill.<ref name="Firefight"/><ref name="ODST"/>
Drone Majors are more skilled in combat than [[Drone Minors]] and will often use [[Needler]]s. On easier difficulties, they will not supercombine the needles. However, on Heroic and Legendary, it is recommended you take cover frequently to recharge armor/stamina. They still are a fairly easy kill.<ref name="Firefight"/><ref name="ODST"/>


If you encounter a lone Major, concentrate on taking it down and then focusing on the Minors. If there is a Major swarm, try to stick one with a Plasma Grenade, bombard them with Needler fire, or dual-wielded Plasma Rifles. One can also use ballistic fire, as this seems to cause Major Drones to scatter so they can be taken down individually. On the other hand, it's easier to kill a Major swarm when they're clustered together, so using UNSC weaponry isn't usually the best idea. No matter which weapon, don't forget to attack ground-based foes as well. It is not advisable to fire only on the Drones while a Brute or Jackal nearby fires freely on you. As with all enemies who move in groups, firing [[seven]] Needler rounds will produce an explosion that will most likely kill an entire group of Drones.<ref name="Firefight"/><ref name="ODST"/>
Majors normally command a group of 6-10 minors. If there is a Major swarm, try to stick one with a Plasma Grenade, bombard them with Needler fire, or dual-wield Plasma Rifles. One can also use ballistic fire, but some Majors will have shields, especially in the presence of [[Engineers]]. The [[Noob Combo]] is a good tactic. Majors also land on the ground much less often than their [[Minor]] brethren, making them less prone to melee. As with all enemies who move in groups, supercombining [[Needler]] round will produce an explosion that will most likely kill multiple [[Drones]].<ref name="Firefight"/><ref name="ODST"/>
