Tough. Accurate. Mobile. Deadly. Heavy Floaters are hulking monsters, with a ton of health and a powerful degree of firepower to match. Flank attacks from these hovering horrors usually end in a tough fight and a lot of corpses. If these corpses turn out to belong to the Aliens or XCOM soldiers is up to the XCOM Commander and a little bit of luck.
At higher difficulty levels these aliens are literally addicted to using alien grenades to blow up your soldiers' cover. And if your units are behind indestructible cover they'll just keep lobbying grenades, so be aware.

- Launch: Move anywhere on the battlefield in a single turn. Launch cannot be used indoors.
- Bombard: Throw or launch grenades over exceptionally long distances.
- Flight: Has 35 fuel.
- Heavy Floaters are always considered to have at least half cover even in the open or when flying, unless in proper cover and flanked. This bonus does not stack with existing cover bonuses - they only receive the best cover.
Notes
- If killed during a successful mission a Heavy Floater Corpse will be recovered.
- If captured during a mission and interrogated afterwards they will provide a reduction in the time required to research Flight technologies.
Trivia
- According to this link [1], Floaters were created via the Ethereals using Meld (present in the Enemy Within DLC expansion) to fuse organic and inorganic materials together. Recovering an Heavy Floater corpse on EW will also provide a small quantity of Meld.
