Use and Planning
Support Drone adds helper pressure or utility for Support builds.
Evaluate this equipment through timing and purpose: what danger or opportunity does it answer, how long does the effect stay active, how long is the cooldown, how expensive is the ammunition, and does it conflict with another family in your loadout? A defensive tool used too late, or a utility tool used in the wrong place, often gives less value than its stats suggest.
Main requirements: Equipment 9, Support techniques 4, Drone technology 3.
Unlock only the level you can use now unless the next level is part of a planned build. For replacements, compare active time, cooldown, ammunition cost, family restrictions, and the exact combat state created by the equipment.
FAQ
Should I activate it as soon as it is ready?
Usually no. Most equipment is stronger when saved for the moment it answers: burst damage, a disabling effect, a chase, a group fight, a cargo route, or an objective push.
Why do some equipment families restrict each other?
Some active effects are meant to be a loadout choice rather than something you stack back-to-back. Check the Loadout Note and plan your equipment slots around a clear role.
