Yanme'e: Difference between revisions

They wield lightweight [[weapons]] such as the [[Needler]] and [[Plasma Pistol]], though they never charge up a shot of 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. 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]]. However it is unknown if they can last longer while in space. They are said to have replaced the [[Ranger Elite|Elite Rangers]] after the [[Covenant Civil War]] began, probably due to their inherent maneuverability, skill in Zero-G combat, and incredible aim. Even though their weapons aren't very effective, be weary of their incredible aim because too many hits even from a weak weapon can be fatal.  

On [[Easy]] and [[Normal]] difficulty, the Drones are easy to kill and present no real threat; however, on [[Legendary]], they can be an extremely deadly enemy to face. Their ability to fly means that if you have cover, they can still fly over and around you, and due to their pack mentality they can outnumber and kill you very quickly. Individually, however, they are still rather weak in resistance. One tactic is to lead the pack into a narrow corridor and throw any kind of [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|grenade]] at them. Most of the time this tactic will kill a majority of the swarm.
