The Drone is the classic Xenomorph as first seen in the original 1979 film, but that doesn't mean it's a basic enemy in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. Like in the original game, it's a high-level threat that excels at ambushing solitary players and breaking squads apart.
Drones deal high melee damage and run fast, and usually employ hit-and-run tactics, using the environment and the hidden vent network – which the Marines can't access – to rapidly move around and outmanoeuvre player squads. They also have more health than the average Xenomorphs even if they aren't as beefy as the armoured variants.
Squads should pin down with abilities and focus as much firepower as possible on Drones before they deal too much damage and run away to attack again later. Moreover, these Xenos can grab and tongue-bite distracted Marines, downing them almost instantly.
