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.
