The Drones are the bulk of the Drudge army; the standard fighters. They have shiny golden-gray armor and always carry a Strike Rifle, the most common Drudge weapon.

Involvement

The Drones are the standard foot soldier of the Drudge faction. They, like many other forms of the Drudge, come out of conduits and attack the player. They tend to attack in groups. If they feel overpowered, they will run and seek cover, then when you don't pay attention to them they attempt to find and shoot you while you are unaware.

Near the end of The Conduit single-player mode, it is revealed by Prometheus that the Drones, along with every other Drudge alien are cloned from Prometheus' genetic model. The Drudge are mass produced inside the secret Trust Base in an unknown location. The Drones, among other Drudge, are sent to Washington, D.C. via conduits to fool citizens of an invasion.

Strategy

The Drones are relatively easy to eliminate. Althoughly a bit tougher than basic human soldiers, Drones can still be brought down with several bullet or energy projectile hits from most standard weapons. Strategies to defeat Drones may not apply to each soldier, as the game's Quantum 3 Engine provides enemies with unique strategies and "personalities". It is important to always destroy any nearby conduits, so that they won't keep coming out. Also, destroy Regenerator Units, and Med-Mites, so they are not healed.

Trivia

• You are able to play as a drone in Campaign mode by enter this code, Drone4SP, into the Promotional Codes section.
