Player Notes Edit

• Unlike the Combat Drone, the Defense Drone will hover around Shepard's head during combat, shocking things that come within range.
• The Defense Drone's shock attack functions similarly to the Overload ability, albeit on a much lower scale.
• Defense Drone is effective at marginalizing flanking attackers, a boon for marksmen and power-based classes. It can be upgraded to the point where it deals substantial damage and chains to multiple targets.
• As with many abilities in Mass Effect 3, the Defense Drone will only stay active if the player is in combat.
