Drones are the foot soldiers of the Swarm. Swarm Drones are primarily made from humans. When a human is podded by a Snatcher, their bodies will dissolve and reform into a Juvie. After emerging from their pods and entering nests, they mature into Imagos. Drones are the adult stage of these lifeforms.

Strategy[]

Drones function the same as their Locust counterparts, acting as frontline infantry against the COG. Like the Imagos, Drones share many of its abilities but have slightly more health and fight more cautiously, in contrast to the more close combat orientated Imagos.

Drones are therefore considered the jack-of-all-trades for the Swarm and are adaptable and flexible in most situations. By themselves they are not a threat, but in groups they are an immediate danger on higher difficulties.
