Yanme'e Major: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

If you encounter a lone Major, concentrate on taking it down and then focusing on the Minors. If there is a Major swarm, try to stick one with a Plasma Grenade, bombard them with Needler fire, or dual-wielded Plasma Rifles. One can also use ballistic fire, as this seems to cause Major Drones to scatter so they can be taken down individually. On the other hand, it's easier to kill a Major swarm when they're clustered together, so using UNSC weaponry isn't usually the best idea. No matter which weapon, don't forget to attack ground-based foes as well. It is not advisable to fire only on the Drones while a Brute or Jackal nearby fires freely on you. As with all enemies who move in groups, firing [[seven]] Needler rounds will produce an explosion that will most likely kill an entire group of Drones.<ref name="Firefight"/><ref name="ODST"/>

==Yanme'e in ''Halo 3: ODST''==

*In [[Halo 3: ODST]], Yanme'e can be quite worthy adversaries--especially when in large scattered groups. Drones are very lethal when in swarms, especially when a Drone Major is in attendance with the standard pack.

*Armed with [[Brute Plasma Rifles]] and equipped with [[Energy Shields]], they can easily defeat an opponent who is caught be surprise.

*Yanme'e Majors (as well as most [[Yanme'e]]) seem to have an uncanny ability to fly towards and attack the player when their [[Stamina]] is low, thereby heightening the chance for a kill and most likely stripping away some precious, much-needed [[Health]].

*On [[Legendary]] difficulty in [[Firefight]], the Drone Majors can easily strip a player's shields with a few [[Brute Plasma Rifle]] shots, and have high accuracy when flying and moving.

*In a swarm these "buggers" can be overwhelming, and it is advised to use a [[M7S Submachine Gun]] against these enemies, as it not only has a scope but it provides the essential spray-fire needed to extinguish groups; also one could use a [[Type-25 Carbine]] (Brute Spiker) as it has rapid-fire, holds a multitudinous magazine of spikes, and has a linear firing rate.

*Making use of one of the mounted turrets littered about is another way to deal with these foes; however it can be a double-edge sword as the turret is very slow and offers sluggish maneuverability.

*Another helpful tactic is to consult your map in the [[VISR Database]], as all the enemies are represented in a complete view of the entire area--those red dots that are moving fastest are most likely [[Yanme'e]] or perhaps a [[Phantom]] dropship is inbound.
