TQ-8 seeker drones saw use with [[Fireteam Shadow]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]]. On [[2558#February|February 14, 2558]], Fireteam Shadow was assigned a mission to destroy a [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] [[Summit (building)|summit]] site in close proximity to a [[Forerunner]] facility known as [[The Refuge (Requiem location)|The Refuge]]. Their plan called for Spartan [[Jason Kidman]] to use a flock of seeker drones to blow down the summit's exterior doors so that the team could destroy it from the inside. However, before their plan was enacted, Spartan [[Jared Miller]] redirected the fireteam to assist [[Fireteam Crimson]].{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}
