On the test server that introduced the Dagon, a crazy robot with 6 weapon slots, Pixonic has included another item that I think you all need to see too, because I think it is actually worse. They have added the new Seeker drone, with the following abilities:
1. Quantum Sensor for 210 meters
2. Robot durability and energy shield durability get a 10% boost (perfect synergy with Dagon, which has an aegis shield)
3. If the robot is damaged enough by an enemy within 200 meters, it receives 50% suppression (5 second cooldown, though 10 second effect immunity means it is longer in practice)
4. If the robot is damaged enough by an enemy within 600 meters, it is blinded (5 second cooldown)
The exact damage thresholds for the third and fourth abilities are unknown, though it seems the suppression threshold is rather low while the blind threshold is rather high (though the suppression may make it higher than it seems). So yeah, this drone punishes you for trying to shoot the enemy, especially if you are doing so at close range (which is a lot of people’s preferred range). We were all wondering when a mega OP drone would be released to take us back to the pre-rework days, and well, here it is. It looks like 9.5 will be a great third installment in the unholy trilogy of updates Pixonic is doing right now.
