Sprinter is an assault Drone. After picking up a flag, ball, or capturing a point, activates boosted versions of Repair Kit and gives the effects of Boosted Damage , Boosted Armor , and Speed Boost for a short time.

Garage description

After picking up the flag, the ball or capturing a control point gives the effect of Boosted Damage, Boosted Armor and Speed Boost for a short time and repairs the tank.

Mechanics

Picking up game pieces or capturing points repairs the tank and activates Boosted Armor, Boosted Damage, and Speed Boost for up to 20 seconds. If one of the aforementioned supplies is already active, its duration won't be increased.

This Drone consumes a single piece of Speed Boost when triggered. No Supplies of one's own are used apart from this.

• - Added duration to the Repair Kit supply (sec): 2 → 5
• - Active Supplies Time (sec): 10 → 20
• - Speed Boost consumed: 1
• - Recharge (sec): 20

Additionally, like all Drones, Sprinter provides a passive bonus to the strength of Boosted Armor and Boosted Damage:

• Boosted Armor supply's effect strength (%): 50 → 100
• Boosted Damage supply's effect increase (%): 50 → 100

Pros and Cons

Simultaneous repair and activation of supplies is an excellent boost in the middle of a game
No effect in TDM, TJR, DM, or SJR modes, or in the Defending team in ASL.
Maximum of 6 activations in SGE mode.

Tips and Advice

• The main mode in which Sprinter is consistently helpful is Control Points..
• This drone can work reasonably well in CTF, since generally you will need the repair and extra supply time when capturing. If you and a friend both use this drone, one can hand off the Flag (or in Rugby, the ball) to the other, giving them the drone's effect.
• Usually, when attacking in ASL mode, the effect will run out before you can reach the base. Your best shot is with a light hull.
• Never use this drone in TDM, TJR, SGE, SJR, or DM mode. It's a waste of batteries.

Micro-upgrades

Like all Drones, Sprinter can be micro-upgraded to a total of 20 steps.
