Template:Ratings Template:Covenant Rank Infobox The Yanme'e Minor is the lowest Yanme'e rank. A minor drone flies slower than Drone Majors. All the Drones you encounter in Halo 2 are Minor Drones; there are no Drone Majors. They are often seen commanded by Drone Leaders in Halo 3: ODST.
Rank
Logically, Drone Minors are the lowest of the Drone ranks. They are commanded by Drone Majors, Jackals, and Grunt Majors. They seem equal, if not even inferior in rank, to the Grunt Minors, placing them at the very bottom of the Covenant hierarchy. However, they also may be higher in rank than the Grunts due to the fact that they appear alongside Brutes and Elites in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Like the Grunt Minors, however, they seem to be extremely low in rank due to the fact that even a Jackal Minor can command them.
Combat
Usually found equipped with Plasma Pistols, Needlers, and rarely Plasma Rifles, Drone Minors are very low in rank but like the Grunts, when in groups are quite a threat. They also are fairly good shots, especially on Legendary and other higher difficulty levels. Most of the time Drone Minors will be in large swarms against the player, and can be quite dangerous.
Drone Minors, while powerful in swarms, are weak individually. They can be taken down fairly easily, and will often make tactical errors such as flying into an enemy's line of sight, or getting in the path of another Drone's shot. They also need to land occasionally, which makes them extremely vulnerable.
A Drone Minor can be taken down easily with an SMG, Battle Rifle, Plasma Rifle, or Assault Rifle. They are also weak against the Needler. Firing 7 Needles will cause an explosion large enough to take out an entire group of Drones. However, as the Halo 2 Official Strategy Guide points out, they can be deadly in conjunction with Grunts, Jackals, Elites, and Brutes.
Appearance
- In Halo 2, Drone Minors all have green exoskeletons, and in Halo 3, they always have yellow exoskeletons. In Halo 3: ODST, however, they have green, blue, and silver exoskeletons.
