The Assault Drone is an unmanned drone that affects specific targets with a variety of effects. Once drones are deployed, they hover in the air above the Agent either waiting for additional input for location (Bombardier and Tactician), or automatically performing its job (Striker, Defender, and Fixer).
Drones can be deployed once before they undergo a cooldown period. This period varies based on whether the skill was manually destroyed, was shot down by enemies, or the duration ran out.
The Striker Drone tracks targets and attempts to maintain line of sight while continuously firing.

Tips[]
The Striker Drone possesses a turret that inflicts continuous damage upon its target. This drone can receive remote orders from its controller to attack specific targets, or it will automatically target nearby enemies.
The Striker Drone's indicator lights are the iconic Division orange, and a miniature turret is attached at the bottom via an extension.
The Defender Drone is a defensive drone that protects its owner by utilizing an experimental microwave directed emitter. It attempts to deflect incoming bullets with microwave bursts, creating an invisible barrier. However, each bullet deflected reduces its duration, and it is incapable of defending itself from enemy fire. It can, however, be ordered to guard friends or other friendly skill items. The drone will deflect any bullet so long as it's able to, ranging from shots from a pistol to the cannons of a Warhound, however, it cannot deflect explosive munitions like grenades or rockets.
The drone's defense is not 100% perfect and can only defend against attacks from one direction at a time (which is either anything in front of or to the back of the target). Additionally, the drone's slower speed also prevents it from reliably protecting a sprinting target.
The Defender Drone's indicator lights are baby blue, and the experimental microwave emitter is attached at the bottom via an extension.
This Bombardier Drone can perform a bombing run across a long area. The drone flies to an area designated by the Agent and drops a barrage of explosives as it strafes from one end of the zone to the other.
The Bombardier Drone's indicator lights are a light red, and the explosives are contained in a holder at the bottom of the drone.
The Fixer Drone repairs armor over time. You can choose whether you want it to fly next to you and passively repair your armor, or choose a friendly target whose armor needs repairing, including other damaged skills.
The Fixer Drone's indicator lights are bright green, and a special feeder is attached to the bottom of the drone via an extension.
The Tactician Drone is built for intel. This utility drone flies to maximum elevation at a location of your choosing and spots all hostiles within a certain radius, effectively highlighting their location. While deployed, it gives you and your party continuous information about the position of the enemies within your area. It acts very similar to Pulse.
