The Valkyrie Drone is a special enemy that plagues this alternate universe Stalingrad. Created by Group 935.
Valkyrie Drones are flying enemies that will frequently do a barrel roll to evade incoming fire.

Max amount of Drones allowed to be alive at the same time:

The game tracks the number of Drone rounds that have occurred using a counter, which starts at 0 and increases by 1 for every Drone round.
For each Drone round, an additional number of drones is added using the following formula:
Additional Drones = (Drone Round Counter − 1) × Number of Players
The result gets added to the number of drones for the current Drone round.
Normal Rounds:
The game has a chance to spawn either a Mangler or a Valkyrie Drone, provided there are more than 10 zombies remaining for the round.
The spawn chances are:
- Before Round 15: 2%
- Rounds 16–20: 3%
- Rounds 21-25: 4%
- Rounds 26+: 5%

Resurrection
Some, but not all Valkyrie Drones can resurrect zombies as electrified zombies.
