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"/> | Majors normally command a group of 6-10 minors.
