Drone



Drones are the Chimera's robotic soldiers, first seen in Resistance 2, but appear earlier in the storyline, appearing in Resistance Retribution.

Much like the Chimera, Drones have multiple yellow eyes-possibly used for purely aesthetic reasons, since the Drones could easily function with just one.

There also appears to be at least five different variants of drone: Worker, Recon, Patrol, Attack, and Hunter.

Worker Variant
Featured only in Resistance Retribution, these drones are simply cheap labor used to supplement the menials and boilers as the chimeran workforce. They are mostly seen operating machinery with some sort of interface beam.

Recon Variant
The Recon drones are unarmed and high-flying, looking alone for enemy positions.

Patrol Variant
The Patrol Drones in resistance retribution are of an earlier variety, thus they are larger and their firing rate is much slower, using charged shots. The Patrol drones in Resistance 2 are lightly armed with a weapon similar to the Bullseye, witch fire at a much faster rate than their earlier counterparts, but without the secondary ability, and attack in large numbers.

Attack Variant
The Attack drones are large, heavily armed and armoured, and also shielded. Attack drones carry two weapons; a single barreled Bullseye look alike and a triple barreled mini-rocket launcher. The mini-rockets are somewhat similar in shape to a hypodermic needle, with a hard needle-like nose that can penetrate organic tissue and hard materials before exploding, or possibly releasing the Chimeran virus into the target.

Hunter Variant
The Hunter drones are medium sized drones that have a weapon similar to the bullseye, but fires with much more distance between shots at a fast rate.
