Utilizing Player Drones for Combat and Defense

Ranged and Melee Attack Modes

Player-owned drones serve as loyal automated bodyguards capable of engaging threats at multiple ranges:

  • Ranged Laser Fire: When a hostile mob approaches, your drone fires built-in lasers that launch two beams at the enemy. This ranged attack operates on a small cooldown, allowing the drone to soften targets from a safe distance.
  • Melee Strikes: If hostile enemies close the distance or survive the laser barrage, your drone will close in and perform direct melee attacks to finish the target off.

Friendly Fire and Targeting Rules

Player drones are designed with safe targeting routines to avoid accidental combat mishaps:

  • Targeting Focus: Drones specifically acquire and attack hostile mobs to defend their owner.
  • Friendly Protection: The two-beam laser attack is tuned to harm only hostile mobs. It will not inflict damage on you, other players, or other player-owned drones.

Keep your drone following you through dangerous territory to let its dual laser systems and melee capabilities handle hostile mobs automatically.
