The Tyanids have very practical names for all their vessels which also tend to have very limited, single-use designs intended for them, especially in the lighter classes. Most Tyranid ships will only have one or two weapon systems, but come in a wide variety of combinations to make sure you can field however many, of whatever many, you need.

That being said, the Caustic Drone is a cheap Destroyer that fields a dual-round firing [[Pyro-Acid Battery]]. It's pretty clear this vessel is going to spend a lot of time with Tracking Sense active to up that critical rate to get as many fires started on enemy ships as possible.

Don't bother bringing Caustic Drones or any other Pyro-Acid ships against Necrons, as their immunity to fires negates most of the usefulness of these ships, granted you probably won't know ahead of time who you are fighting if playing ranked matches.

It is armed with 1 Double-Barrel [[Pyro-Acid Battery]].
