Standard Drones are available to research and unlock at the commencement of the game.
These small sized remote operated vehicles represent a unique asset to X-COM forces. They possess no traditional offensive weaponry, however their chief advantage is their small size and rapid movement speed making them excellent recon tools while also possessing a surprising level of survivability.
A drones small size means their hitbox is very low to the ground, making it difficult for aliens to land shots on a drone, they also possess decent armour and health which allows for them to absorb a level of damage that some human soldiers may not survive. Furthermore each drone carries an integrated smoke grenade launcher, which while not as powerful as normal smoke grenades, can allow a drone to conceal itself in a pinch if caught by an alien.
Drones can be constructed to also carry a module, thus there are four varients, either a standard variant with no module but extra armour, or a variant with taser, medkit, or motion sensor module.
A single drone consumes a single troop slot AND a HWP slot on a transport aircraft. Whereas a traditional HWP takes four soldier slots, a drone only takes up one. This confers a level of usability as all transport crafts can carry up to three drones (Avenger can carry four), or a combination of drones and HWPs.

All drone variants mount a mini smoke grenade launcher, it holds only three rounds, has a low firing range and only covers a small radius. However it does provide instant concealment in a pinch thus increasing the drones survivability. Drones can reaction fire their smoke grenades at hostile aliens at close range, this could prove situationally useful to obscure the drone, but could also prove a waste of ammo. If this is a concern, enusure a drone's TU's are depleted before ending your turn.
