[[ | [[File:Drone Swarm.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Drones often overwhelm their opponents in large swarms in enclosed spaces.]] | ||
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. | 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.

Drones were first seen in the game ''Halo 2'', after a long period as combatants during the [[Battle of Earth]], and were featured often in overwhelming swarms in open spaces. They had less distinguished, shinier, chitinous armour, and much smaller, luminescent eyes and a less insectoid and more alien-like appearance. | Drones were first seen in the game ''Halo 2'', after a long period as combatants during the [[Battle of Earth]], and were featured often in overwhelming swarms in open spaces.

The best tactics for dealing with a Drone swarm is to hide behind cover and take the Drones down one at a time. Also, if a Drone boards a vehicle it will claw at the driver until they are killed, a certain amount of time has passed, or they themselves are killed. An effective, but dangerous way to remove them from vehicles is to ram the vehicle into a nearby wall or large structure. This does, however, risk the destruction of the vehicle and possibly death. | The best tactics for dealing with a Drone swarm is to hide behind cover and take the Drones down one at a time.

In ''Halo 3: ODST'', there have been many changes to the Drones. There are now multiple color schemes (and, presumably, ranks related to them) for the Drones (including gold-shelled ones), and some have been seen to equip weak energy shields. | In ''Halo 3: ODST'', there have been many changes to the Drones.
