TC-280 Prototype

The TC-280 Prototype is a rare drone found only on. It is the strongest offensive drone the player can acquire, but also the most expensive by far, costing almost as much gold as a legendary chest.

Primary: Machine Gun
The Prototype fires 15 shots over 2 seconds, each dealing 220% damage with linear falloff.

This skill has a cooldown of 4 seconds.

Secondary: Missiles
The Prototype fires two missiles moving at 55m/s in a straight line. They explode upon impact, dealing 400% damage in a radius of 8m with linear falloff.

This skill has a cooldown of 6 seconds, and the Prototype can store two charges of this skill. They have 1.5 seconds delay between activations and they can be used while the machine gun is firing.

Behaviors

 * 1) Stay close to owner: the Prototype must be more than 180m away from its owner, who must be alive. This behavior is active for 4 seconds.
 * 2) Use primary and stop when near target: the Prototype must be within 20m from its target and have line of sight. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior is active for 2 seconds and the Prototype will refresh its enemy target at the end of it. Most enemies that prefer to keep their target at a certain distance tend to back up when nearer than that, but the Prototype behaves differently.
 * 3) Use primary while strafing: the Prototype must be within 20-60m from its target and have line of sight. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. This behavior is active for 2 seconds and the Prototype will refresh its enemy target at the end of it.
 * 4) Use secondary: the Prototype must be within 20-90m from its target and have line of sight. The prototype will refresh its enemy target at the end of it.
 * 5) Use primary from distance: the Prototype must be within 20-90m from its target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 2 seconds and the Prototype will refresh its enemy target at the end of it.
 * 6) Strafe owner idly: the Prototype must be within 30m from its owner who must be alive. This behavior is mostly used when there are no enemies around.
 * 7) Go to owner: the owner must be alive. This behavior is mostly used when there are no enemies around. The Prototype will search for a new target at the end of it.
 * 8) Use primary when owner is dead: no requirements on the enemy target distance. The primary is not necessary to be off cooldown. Despite its description, the Prototype can still use its secondary if the target is within the distance requirements. This behavior exists because the Prototype has a tendency to be near its owner when it has no targets. When the owner is dead, it will simply chase down its currently acquired target and then engage in combat according to the prior behaviors.

Trivia

 * The TC-280 has collision on its central body, allowing players to stand on it. However, it may be difficult to stay there due to how the drone moves around.
 * If a TC-280 is destroyed, it will disappear and cannot be repaired.
 * It is possible to find multiple TC-280 Prototypes in the same stage, although it is uncommon.
