Patrol Drones are Chimeran drones that appears in Resistance 2, Resistance: Retribution, and Resistance: Burning Skies.
Resistance 2[]
Patrol Drones are lightly armed with a weapon similar to the Bullseye, which fires at a much faster rate than their earlier counterparts. Patrol Drones can attack in large swarms of up to 20 and they may appear alongside other types of Drones. They are also used in large assaults by the Chimera as they appear during the assault on SRPA Station Igloo. Patrol Drones are common and appear in any situation, whether its patrolling Gray Territory or going into combat.
Patrol Drones have three different eye colors to denote their status: blue means it has not detected any enemy; yellow means it is on alert; red means it is hostile.
In Cooperative Mode, Patrol Drones make a unique engine-like sound when they are nearby. This can be used as a warning to their presence.
Resistance: Retribution[]
The Patrol Drones are of an earlier variety, thus they are larger and their firing rate is much slower, using charged shots. When damaged enough, they eventually blow up. They use this to their advantage by approaching the player in an attempt to take him/her down with them. Further damage taken by the drone will hasten their destruction.
Resistance: Burning Skies[]
Patrol Drones first appears in Staten Island.

Nancy calls 'em flying garbage cans. And that's exactly what these drones look like. But watch out! When you spot one chances are that there are some more nearby. And nearby they're fast they're hard to hit. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can use a variety of weapons to destroy them. Shotguns, or weapons with a high rate of fire like a Bullseye, or a Mauler work best. Be sure to duck though... When a drone explodes chunks of shrapnel fly in every which way. Nancy bagged three yesterday. How 'bout it ladies? Can you beat that? Never give up, and never give in. - George |
