New Features Explained
1. Resource Scanner
The resource scanner is available to all Operatives by default and can be used to scan a zone to reveal potential items on the map. It is not necessary to hack the tower within the zone to use the resource scanner.
Head over to the item on the map (or deploy a drone to it) and collect them to discover the item type. Items include Scrap Metal, various other raw materials, blueprints for the different drone parts, and even a mysterious Ancient Scroll.
2. Nanoforge
The Nanoforge allows you to put together discovered blueprints and their respective raw materials required to craft drone parts. There is also a base level blueprint available over at the in-app store if you are not able to locate blueprints from the map loot.
Note: You can only craft one item at a time with the Nanoforge, however you may queue the next item while it is actively working on one.
3. Tactical Drones
Once you have successfully located all the necessary blueprints and raw materials to craft all of the required parts that make up a Tactical Drone, you may use the Drone Configurator to assemble your very own drone!
The assembling of Tactical Drone is currently exclusively available for players who purchased and own the Limited-Edition Drone Chassis. The blueprint for the regular chassis will be made available in-game starting next month (January 2023).
Note: You may only deploy 1 Tactical Drone at a time for now
Note: You may deploy 1 Tactical Drone and 1 Retriever Drone at the same time.
