The Carrier Drone is a rare type of drone, distinguished by a Parasite riding atop its back. It acts like a normal drone but when it dies, the Parasite will immediately come off and attempt to infest a marine. Several of those drones are encountered in Tears for Tarnor third mission, Oasis Colony Spaceport.
Strategy[]
- Avoid engaging them in melee or at very close range as the parasite that comes off upon the drone's death will likely infest the marine that was too close.
