The MQ-27 Dragonfire, or Quadrotor, is an unmanned flying drone featured in almost all of the futuristic missions in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, as well as a usable drone in Strike Force missions and multiplayer matches. It also appears in Call of Duty: Strike Team and Call of Duty: Heroes. After taking enough damage, it falls to the ground and explodes; the resulting explosion is not lethal. In campaign, the Dragonfire is named the Quadrotor.

Campaign

In campaign missions, only in "Achilles' Veil" a swarm of Quads drones would be temporarily assigned to David "Section" Mason, in others it can only be acquired via accessing locked containers using the Access Kit. A interesting note is that some Dragonfires are equipped with grenade launchers while others have the default machine gun.

Multiplayer

The MQ-27 Dragonfire is a scorestreak that can be used after obtaining 975 points. It is player-controlled, and the player can control it for about one minute before it is automatically detonated. It also detonates if the player leaves it prematurely, goes too far from the map or it takes too much damage. Its only weapon is a machine gun that takes five bullets to kill at close to medium ranges and seven at long range. It is seen in the minimap by enemies at all times.

It is fairly nimble to move, though it is also relatively fragile. It can be destroyed with bullet weapons rather fast, or simply one EMP Grenade given that it is in the blast radius. Oddly enough, it can survive two rockets from the FHJ-18 AA despite its weakness to conventional weapons.

Call of Duty: Strike Team

The Dragonfire returns in Call of Duty: Strike Team. The player uses it to look down and control their squad. It does not, however, have any weaponry.
