Maykr Drone

The Maykr Drone is a new enemy in Doom Eternal. Servants of the Khan Maykr, they serve as a late-game threat to the Slayer's quest to cease the demonic invasion of Earth.

Codex
''Urdak's population is mainly comprised of Drones, beings that exist as extensions of the Khan Maykr's will. Though each is endowed with their own unique identity they remain biologically unable to resist a command from their Khan, and so function in a perfectly synchronized colony system. Drones never leave Urdak, their bodies not yet mature enough to avoid harm while crossing dimensions.''

Appearance
The Maykr Drone has a vaguely humanoid shape, though it completely lacks arms and floats above the ground. Tentacles can be seen drooping out from under the Drones robes. The robes themselves are made of Maykr technology, which provides them with their higher than normal defenses to the body. During the battle against the Khan Maykr, a unique variant of the Maykr Drone with red robes will patrol the battlefield.

Combat Analysis
The Maykr drone possesses a great amount of bulk. Its protective hide grants the Maykr Drone defenses bordering that of the Hellified Soldiers shield. The Drone will hover around the battlefield, shooting quick bursts of yellow light at the Slayer from a distance. Up close, the Drone will spin quickly as tendrils of golden energy whip the Slayer.

However, Maykr Drone's possess a significant weakness. Their head is not only vulnerable to damage but if the killing shot is a headshot, the Maykr Drone will drop a payload of health and ammo, making them very useful for a Slayer in a pinch. The Precision Bolt upgrade on the Heavy Cannon can kill a Drone in one shot, making it a near vital weapon for removing the Drone from the battlefield quickly. A single, regular ballista shot, can also one-shot the Maykr Drone's head weakness. They can be somewhat difficult to hit, however, as they will dance out of the way of the Slayer's aim.

Trivia

 * Oddly, Maykr Drones are encountered during a Slayer Gate challenge, despite their Codex Entry stating they aren't strong enough to leave Urdak.
 * The Makyr Drone was initially classified as a Fodder enemy type in doom Eternal, but this was later updated to Heavy.
