Line 5:

Drones prefer to stay at a distance and use long-range tactics; however, they are skilled close-range combatants as well if the need arises. Since they appear in swarms, they can often confuse or disorientate the enemy, which gives them an advantage over fewer, slower-moving enemies. Drones also have the distinction of being able to [[Boarding|board]] vehicles. They do not seem capable of driving them, but will claw mercilessly at the driver until he is killed or gets out of the [[vehicle]]. However, their melee is weak, you can simply wait it out until someone shoots it down or simply crash into a structure, causing it to lose its grip on you. Their capability for limited flight allows them to easily weaken an enemy and retreat as necessary when in danger.

They wield lightweight [[weapons]] such as the [[Needler]] and [[Plasma Pistol]], though they never overcharge their [[Plasma Pistol]] to break a shield, as with Jackals. They also enter battle in a swarm (the number differs depending on the difficulty); furthermore, they are ~~not~~ susceptible to headshots, though [[sniper]] weapons will always kill them with a single shot regardless of where it hits them and the difficulty level. This is most likely due to a natural physical weakness, as the [[sniper rifle]]'s shot would likely travel straight through the exoskeleton and cause the Drone to go into a state of shock. Drones never dual wield or have heavy weapons because they can only become airborne while lifting a small amount of weight. When fighting, they have to take frequent rests while in the air, probably due to the gravitational pull from [[Earth]] and [[High Charity]]. They are said to have replaced the [[Ranger Elite|Elite Rangers]] after the [[Covenant Civil War]] began, probably due to their inherent maneuverability and incredible aim. Even though their weapons aren't very effective, be wary of their precise aim because too many hits, even from a weak weapon, can be fatal.

It has been noticed that the [[Spiker]] and [[Assault rifle]] are the best weapons against Drones, and when dual-wielding anything, you can literally shred your way through a swarm.

Line 13:

There is a moment in the [[Halo 3]] level Tsavo Highway where approximately twenty Drones swarm out and attack you and your passengers in whatever vehicle you currently have. On Easy, Normal, and sometimes Heroic, the Marines will shred through the Drones with minimal fuss, but on Legendary it is a battle to be reckoned with. In addition, on the level Crow's Nest after the bomb is activated, a huge swarm of fifteen or so clumped-together Drones will fly past you. If you throw a plasma grenade into their midst it will usually stick one and kill most, if not all of them. This will incite the wrath of any nearby [[Grunts]] and the remaining Drones.
