Player Notes Edit

• The supply pylon, once placed, will last indefinitely unless a new one is placed by the same player or they leave the match.
  • In addition to the above; the pylon will remain active even if the player that placed it died during the round. This includes bleed outs.
  • Additionally, the pylon cannot be destroyed by anything, unless the player deploys another one.
• The supply pylon only drops 1 thermal clip & 1 grenade (2 if extra grenade 6th evolution is taken) per resupply frequency.
• The supplies can be picked up by anyone.
• The pylon is also a great group buff machine should your allies decide to remain within the radius it illuminates. It can give a big boost to their maximum shields & either their weapon or power damages making it an over all great utility.
  • The bonuses only remain active while in the circle.
    • However, if the radius expansion evolution is taken, the illuminated area is smaller than it's actual area of effect. The brief glowing shield effect on players can be used as an indicator.
• As supplies are dispensed immediately upon deployment, players can generate two handouts quickly by deploying another pylon immediately after the old pylon dispenses.
• A good strategy for Gold (or even Platinum) matches would be to cooperate with another Demolisher Engineer to each take one set of evolutions--one Pylon built to dispense as much ammo and grenades as possible, and the other specced to give the biggest group buffs it can. Then both of you deploy the pylons as close to each other as possible in an easy-to-defend spot, and let the squad enjoy constant top-ups of ammunition as well as substantial buffs to damage and durability. Don't forget that a buff-oriented pylon will still provide some ammo and grenades.
• Supply Pylon deals damage to enemies caught in the explosion as a new Supply Pylon is cast, allowing it to be used as a remotely activated mine.
• If the player starts placing a new pylon, but is killed before completing it, the pylon will not be placed but the cooldown will still be triggered. When trying to set up a pylon in a new location, it's a good idea to make sure you'll survive the process, or you'll be stuck waiting through a very long cooldown before you can try again.
• Supply Pylon synergizes very well with the Asari Justicar's Biotic Sphere. If the Max Shields evolution of Supply Pylon is chosen and Biotic Sphere is evolved for maximum damage reduction, the two combined give a 150% increase to the amount of damage protected allies' shields can take before breaking.
