I won one, so I didn't know what to do with it so I just threw it in my trash bot ares leadhouse. Kicks off when half health and apparently stays on until you die. My green ares had random fire coming from the back to show it was engaged. It does make a difference. I was moderately chewing a phantom up with the leadhouse when it activated and it went from chewing to mauling. Idk if it effects retribution, but it seems interesting if your willing to drop armor, reactors, etc. Hella expensive to upgrade tho.

I have the same exact kit, leadhose Ares with 1 overdrive. I have 2 but the other is on Hellburner. I have no idea if it effects overdrive..

I have won two so far, slapped one on my buffed MK2 Glory Carnage for 「dookie」s and giggles and went to work rushing the beacon pile to see what would happen.
Difference!...and itâs notable. Have doled out numerous WRAMPAGEs and god likes with a lev. 1. Overdrive
PRE overdrive...that did not happen. Overdrive has put a crimp in my upgrading plans.

Think of it this way, it’s a maxed Thermonuclear Reactor at level 1 when you hit the threshold. It’ll only get extremely better when upgraded. If you’ve got them, use them and by all means upgrade them when you can

I won myself an Overdrive Unit and I'm strongly considering putting that on a Carnage. |

What is the durability threshold? I have 2 overdrive modules and they don't say anything beyond "While the robot's durability is at a critical level." Soooo, what? 20%, 30% life? For me, the power trade off is not worth the loss of health, certainly if it's such a low threshold you risk getting your weapons blown off. I'd rather stick to my maxed thermo nukes

2 overdrives (see indicator on hp)  cannot stress enough how worth it these modules are. 2 maxed is 50% increase damage output. If you’ve got them, use them and upgrade when you can |

Thanks for the clarification that Pix couldn't provide. 50% is not exactly what I'd call "critical", great work dev team. Man, I really hate Pixonic lately. Like, a lot. |

They are the new whale modules. Gamble your money away trying to win one in a loot chest and then spend money on Ag to level.

I won one and threw it on my Ao Jun. Not really sure how I feel about It. It’s still level 1 though, can’t afford the 200 mill to experiment with it.

Stacked overdrives are ridic Yep, starting to see these out and about now. Bots will let you shoot them just to get to the "critical" level (which at 70% is a joke) then you have a Ravana/Leech in your face with maxed Storms/Cryo to deal with. |

What is the max level of overdrive,5? How much damage when max? Thanks! Max level is 6. It'll take 200M silver to fully upgrade it. Each Overdrive Unit gives 25% damage boost at max level. |

I'm still not sold on Overdrives. I will use the one that I've won, probably even upgrade it. But I won't spend gold or try to spin tokens in order to get more.
They give 15% damage improvement over Thermonukes, but Thermonukes work all the time. Considering that I run a Last Stand on all bots, the max potential is 50% (well not for me, as I don't have that kind of silver). I run some kind of healing on all my bots (Mechanic or Adamant Mechanic), so I'll usually be over 60% health even with 2 Overdrive modules. And if I die, then usually because I'm in the grasp of a Leech, Phantom or something else with DR, an Ares shield or stealth where 50% extra damage don't make a difference. (Or 30% if you replace maxed Thermonukes.) So while I'll take the extra damage, I don't think it's a game changer.
Now the stealth module that they run on the test server, that may be as valuable as Last Stand IMO.

I got mine in my leech storm, it works well but I have to loose half my health to activate and no long after that I usually loose one weapon but it’s only level 1 and it was for free so I’m happy with it.

i just won one and put it on my spark Raven as that is my usual BR and Dom starting bot. Only played 4 or 5 games but I've only really noticed it work once. Once that bot gets to half health it doesnt tend to stick around long! I think I might be better off with basic reactors.

I won two in the forum giveaway, and pulled one from the chest the other day. All 3 sat on Blitz with Clive. Add on Advanced repair module and Deft Survivor and the HoneyBadger rocks as my opener. Upgrades my lvl 9 Sparks to a tad under lvl 12 when it gets going (at 70%!). Sheer lunacy - "Leeroy Jenkins!"

Now the stealth module that they run on the test server, that may be as valuable as Last Stand IMO. Yeah, I'm not sure if a basic overdrive is worth equipping versus even only a leveled basic reactor or armor plate. 10% isn't much more than 4%. But some bots are probably better off with overdrive. Pantheon has survivability at low health. Hellburner will reach low health on purpose. Now imagine that, somebody spawning in a Hellburner that has essentially 1.5x nucleons plus a light, before they get to funny business of thresholds. . |

I have three on my bulwark. I active my physical shield and turn my back on enemy fire until i hit 70% then I activate the aegis to get behind cover. I run phase shift for extra survivability and I play the trident's 600m range carefully. This combo scores good damage because it survives so long. Once these modules are maxed, with pilot skills and damage booster included I'll be doing and extra 90% damage. I'm already doing 45% and laughing like a maniac, I think my face might split at 90%

If I ever get a competetive second (long-range) hangar, I'll run a Trident Fury (or Behemoth, if I should win one).
But currently, I either stay away from all those Storm Ravanas, or not. In any case my death is usually quick  |

The fury doesn't have shields so the extra damage it delivers comes at a price. The behemoth has loads of extra damage so maybe worth it but levelling up a bot plus 4 weapons sounds expensive. |

Got one on my fire-n-ice Fenrir and it's very noticeable, even at lvl 1. Once I get the Cryos upgraded to 2.12 I'm gonna upgrade it all the way for the 25% dmg boost. With the DR, pilot skills, and adv. healing module a Fen can survive under 50% for a LONG time and really dish it out. Totally worth the loss of a regular armor kit.

I got one and put it on my Pursuer. It activates at the same time my Deft Survivor(?) activates, so I go stealthy, get a speed boost, and get a firepower boost all at the 50% damage threshold.
