After the latest update, I have noticed that beacon capture is not adding to the Armadillo drone defense. Can anyone confirm?

Nope. I get stacks on mine from getting beacons.

I’m currently using it on a Skyros, but have used it on my Mender. With the same modules, Mender is a bit less damage resistant than a balled-up Skyros assuming similar levels. Mender trades the resistance for healing (and grey recovery if using the Marie pilot). I recommend trying to target from a distance to get an extra stack or two before engaging 1v1 in melee combat.
Personally, I try to stay at a distance or support with my Mender. Too much incredibly bursty stuff now to take a colossal beating w/o the PPBs now.

I'm actually referring to the defense stacks indicator. (left side of screen) It does not go up for me on the Mender when capturing a beacon. It was with the Skyros. But I haven't tried with Skyros since the last update. If the bot really makes a difference, that would be pretty goofed up. But literally nothing surprises me anymore with Pixonic. |

They did a recent """bugfix""", in other words they gutted its stacking to a very low value, Even with multiple kills and beacon captures mine freezes at just 2-3 stacks. I guess it was too competitive with the newer drones. I have shelved mine on my Nether and now run all Paralysis again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Could be bot specific bug. I noticed with the mender, the speed skills dont stack when I run immune amp, nitro unit and arma「fake pee place」 drone. Always starts off with just 2 stacks.
Also make sure you are running the right level drone. Ask me how I know? I have a level 11 Arma and a level 1 one, heaps of times I've attached the level 1 by accident because pixonic just loves to troll and put the order of drones in different positions when you load them on different bots.

Confirmed that the bot does not matter. What is happening is you get a half stack for every beacon captured. (However, UI does not show this. Increments are not fractions.) It used to be 1-1. Kills are still 1-1.
Again, something stupid from Pixonic. Beacons are everything in a beacon game, yet they nerf the drone this way. Sometimes I wonder if they even play this game.

So I tested this out a bit more... It does depend on which bot you use. For Mender and Invader, you get 1 stack for every 2 beacons (or a half stack).
However, Skyros is getting 1-1. These are the only 3 bots I've tested. And I'm using the special edition Skyros. Not sure if that matters. Invader is not special edition.

I won't try to say this is conclusive, but I just ran an Invader and a Mender around a custom game on Moon. I found a one-for-one beacon vs Armadillo stack correlation. Invader
Mender  |

Poopface Interesting... Could it be because my Armadillo drone is not maxed? What level is yours?

I just won one. Do you know you don’t even get 400k Ag from selling it? What a joke!
