Introduced in ''Halo 2'', Drones are flying enemies that attack the player in swarms. While individually weak and lighly armed, they make up for it with agility and numbers.[[File:Drone Swarm.jpg|thumb | Introduced in ''Halo 2'', Drones are flying enemies that attack the player in swarms.

The best tools to deal with Drones are automatic weapons, like the [[SMG]], [[Paegaas Workshop 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 {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}} or an explosive weapon on a still-clustered swarm will result in numerous casualties, but otherwise save such weapons for hardier foes. | The best tools to deal with Drones are automatic weapons, like the [[SMG]], [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] and [[Assault rifle]].
