When encountered in swarms, Drones prefer to stay at a distance and use long-range tactics, moving constantly to throw off their enemy's aim while raining a hail of plasma and needles. When in support of other Covenant, they use their aerial mobility to flank the enemy and force them out of cover, in the line of sight of their heavier armed allies. However, they cannot fly forever, and will eventually land on a wall or the ground, where they will be more vulnerable. | When encountered in swarms, Drones prefer to stay at a distance and use long-range tactics, moving constantly to throw off their enemy's aim while raining a hail of plasma and needles.

However, their melee is weak, and a player can resist out until someone shoots the drone down. Alternatively, you can crash into a structure, causing the drone to lose its grip on you. | ||
In some games, Drones are shown performing scripted animations, such as lifting [[Marines]] off the ground, similar to the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. They will be vulnerable during this time, and if you kill the Drone in question it will let the [[Marine]] go. | In some games, Drones are shown performing scripted animations, such as lifting [[Marines]] off the ground, similar to the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]].

The best tools to deal with Drones are automatic weapons, like the [[SMG]], [[Spiker]] and [[Assault rifle]]. A single magazine can kill multiple Drones given their low health and tendency stay clustered together. From ''Halo 3'' onwards, Drones can also be [[Headshot]], making precision weaponry more useful gainst them, but not as vital as they are against [[Unggoy/Gameplay|Grunts]] or [[Kig-Yar/Gameplay|Jackals]].

If the player can anticipate where a swarm will appear, Machine Gun [[Turret]]s are also incredibly powerful, otherwise the reduced mobility will prove to be a death sentence. Using a [[Plasma Grenade]] or an explosive weapon on a still-clustered swarm will result in numerous casualties, but otherwise save such weapons for hardier foes. | ||
To fight a swarm of Drones, find cover nearby, preferably in a place where you cannot be flanked or flown over. The [[Deployable cover]] and [[Drop Shield]] can be useful in this regard, and can be employed to make an area significantly easier to defend. Then, take potshots at the clustered swarm, forcing the enemies to come in range of your automatic weapons. When their numbers are depleted, Drones will become easy targets, sitting on walls or on the ground, lacking the firepower to overcome you. When Drones are in support of other foes, keep to cover while engaging the others, while keeping an ear out for their distinctive buzzing and squeaking. When they show themserlves, shoot before they have a chance to fire. | To fight a swarm of Drones, find cover nearby, preferably in a place where you cannot be flanked or flown over.
