Healing Drone

The  is a drone that supports the player by healing their Survivor and other allies. Once purchased, the Healing Drone flies close by and follows them. It is possible to bind more than one Healing Drone to the Survivor. After finishing the Teleporter Event, the Healing Drone travels to the next Environment along with the rest of the party.

Primary: Heal
The Healing Drone heals a single nearby ally for either 5 seconds or until they reach full health, whichever comes first. This ally could be the player, a minion, or another drone.

This skill has a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Behaviors

 * 1) Stay close to owner: the Healing Drone must be at least 35m away from its owner and the owner must be alive. This behavior is active for 2 seconds.
 * 2) Use primary on owner: the Healing Drone must be within 15m from its owner, who must have less than 95% health. The Healing Drone will strafe the owner during this behavior.
 * 3) Go to owner off nodegraph: the Healing Drone must be at least 10m away from its owner, have line of sight, and the owner must have less than 75% health. This is a precursor to healing the owner, so 75% health for the owner is the trigger point when they become more attentive.
 * 4) Go to owner: similar to the previous behavior, but the Healing Drone has no line of sight to the owner and will therefore use the nodegraph for pathing.
 * 5) Use primary on closest ally: the Healing Drone must be within 15m from its target, who must have less than 95% health. This behavior is active for 5 seconds, during which the Healing Drone will strafe its target. Due to how much the Healing Drone prioritises staying close to its owner, it will only heal another ally if the owner is already within 35m and above 95% health.
 * 6) Go to closest ally off nodegraph: the Healing Drone must be within 10-60m from its target, have line of sight, and the target must have less than 99% health.
 * 7) Go to closest ally: the Healing Drone must be within 20-60m from its target, and the target must have less than 99% health.
 * 8) Strafe the owner idly: the Healing Drone must be within 20m from its owner. Due to the conditions for following/healing an ally, if the owner is dead, it is very likely the Healing Drone will find no suitable behavior and will revert back to its Wander/Look Busy state. Therefore, an injured ally will need to get the Drone's attention by getting within 60m from it. The Healing Drone will then heal/follow this ally until they are fully healed, killed, or stray too far away, at which point it will lose its attention again.

Trivia

 * Before PC Patch v1.2.2.0, players with could be killed by their own Healing Drones if it got converted by a, with the death screen stating "Killed By: Healing Drone".
 * If the player has damaged shields and, the Healing Drone will not stop healing for 5 seconds or until the shields have recharged. This means the healing can contribute towards the barrier if the player's Health stat is full.
