The '''heavy gun drone''' is, as it sounds, the big brother of the gun drone, and in fact is the second largest model of mobile drone used by the Tau, after the Remora. Basically, a giant looking dustbin along with the likes of the Gun Drone (But then again, <s>the Tau</s> Games Workshop <s>aren't</s> isn't known for their diversity in drone appearance).

Heavy Gun Drones due to being a further development of the basic Gun Drone are visibly larger with heavier construction than standard Drones. As such, due to their increase size and power, they carry twin-linked [[burst cannon]]s, and can swap one of them for a [[markerlight]] if it will need to call down and range ahead of the main Tau force; quickly pick out targets for destruction from the long-range [[seeker missile]]s.

They operate in squadrons of two to six Drones for sextuple the [[Dakka]]. In this role, they act as effective robotic artillery spotters. Heavy Gun Drones are relatively new additions to the forces of the Tau and most versions are still undergoing field trials.

Overall, other than carrying around heavier Dakka, their behavior still remained unchanged.
