Ok...I won an eye, and am going to get a shooting chip for it. I think.
But any description I can find is too vague.
For instance, the Imitating Rocket Shooter deals 450 damage and a ten second reload.
But it can’t be only 450 damage, or it would be useless. How many rounds does it shot in a magazine? Can’t find this info anywhere.
Appreciate any help.

Do not bother with shooty chips. I did.  The Eye Drone itself can be worthwhile but shooty drones do basically no damage. Oops didn't mean to click on LOL - fat fingered. reckless1 |

Sorry I don't know the numbers, but I don't think there's a single person on this forum that will say, "Wow, shooty drones are SO worth it." Even the Wasp with it's acid buff is sorely lacking. I'm not trying to poo-poo your legitimate question, I'm trying to save you Au.  |

Thanks. I’ll use that gold to mk2 my pulsars. Got them to level 10 on my leech and they’re nasty! |

Yes, I still find a lot of ambiguity in these Drones/Chips. Honestly, I think this game could’ve done without this whole Drone baloney.

Not directed at you here, but everyone should remember this, especially when comparing weapons and saying this is stronger than that. These descriptions don’t take into account clip size, unload or reload times, all of which are very important… having said this, the descriptions are also woefully lacking, especially for drone weapons. Then again all drone weapons suck so 🤷♂️ the info you’re looking for can’t be found anywhere. The best thing to do is record some gameplay and then watch it back to see how many rounds are fired… |

No thats the damage per shot, it has a burst of 30-40k iirc.

I’d say 30k damage cycle is worth it. What else can boost my damage that much for less than 5k gold? If I survive four cycles that’s 100k+ damage.
Flat out of silver lol. This upgrade rush drained 250mm in a big hurry.

But it does have some fun factor. It pairs nicely w my Viper Falcon and I’ve finished off many bots and even a few Titans with Wasp pew pew pew. And running it w my fun hangar Loki on occasion makes players rue the day they stopped using Quantum Radar. Shooter Drones can alert Reds that you are sneaking up on them (bad) and they let you know EXACTLY when to start shooting at PS, Stealth, Transcending bots (good) and they can cornershoot like a mofo! |

I wouldn’t spend any Au on these chips I can’t see a better use for my gold. I will have enough to mk2 what I want by the time I get all 4 pulsars to 12, and I have all the modules I want. No sense in rushing upgrades I’m out of silver. What else is there to use gold for? My pilots are as high as I’m going to take them (50). If I’m missing something please speak up. 100k extra damage for one robot is significant to me. |

I wouldn’t spend any Au on these chips I'm pretty sure I have some semi decent shooting chips for these drones that were all pulled from chests but it would be nice if I could actually see the darned things since I don't have any shooting drones to equip and check them out. |

For most 500m bots, it might be a better investment than a collection of conditional Effects chips that may not trigger with the weapons. Also, I am huge on diversification be it Bots, Weapons or Drones. |

T2 freeze would only really be effective to enhance freeze effect of cryogenic weapons by itself… what drones are you running? And what’s your hangar? I can list off chips that are good, but if you don’t have the slots it’s not helpful. Also, want to maximize drones with bots… |

Any recommendations? I have only spent serious gold on the t3 freeze chip and it’s garbage. Back to your OP. Like most of the chips in the rework, the difference between T3 and T4 is highlighted in the shooter chips. I only have the Minigun handy: T3 = 22,500 in a 50 shot clip, about 10s unload T4 = 36,000 in same, but... T3 has 20s reload and T4 has only 10s reload, so 750 DPS vs 1,800 DPS. Add Acid chips and the spread grows. I haven’t tested the other guns to know the clip size, but definitely smaller. |

Also, I am huge on diversification be it Bots, Weapons or Drones. Where do you get that number? Math (Ok Rollo, quit being such a smart 「bum-bum」) 50 shot clip 720 per shot 36,000 direct damage in 10s unload, 20s total cycle w reload 145 DOT Built in Ability 145 DOT T4 Acid Chip 290 DOT x50 shot x 5 sec DOT 72,500 DOT Also, field verified w my test dummy Smurf Griffin. Poor guy barely survives 1 clip Edit - and Octo has a T4.5 Minigun, lol does 865/shot vs 720 for the T4 chip |

Rifle is few shots (maybe 1? Idk), Rocket shoots explosive shells, maybe 10 clip size?? Not sure. Minigun has 50, that much I know, lol. EDIT - Check the YouTube vids, Cannon shooter has 15 shot clip |

I have a target seeking Canon shooter T3. It shoots. And if you look very closely you almost might notice the red taking damage.
I also never thought: Oh no, he has a shooting drone!
It might be somewhat useful on a Nightingale as it shoots while in air. It's more of an annoyance than anything meaningful, but it's there.

The Eye Drone itself can be worthwhile but shooty drones do basically no damage.
