Companion drones

The Companion Drone is a special type of drone that you will be able to obtain only by ranking in The Arena. In terms of functionality, it will behave as a normal drone (same as the ones you place in your base).The drone will be added in Base attack PVP second room - it will assist the avatar in the fight.The drone appears near your avatar in the main menu screen - If tapped, it leads to the page for the second PvP room setup.The drone also has a number of tiers which are reflected in its HP value (the higher the tier, the more health it has). You can get higher tier companion drone by reaching higher Arena divisions.
 
Notes:

• It is added to the player's defenses automatically when acquired.
• Drone's HP is based on the Avatar HP - it scales with Avatar level.
• In the unlikely event that there is already an active companion drone, a higher tier drone replaces a lower tier drone. If the drones have the same tier, the duration should get extended.
• The drone can also be accessed directly from the screen from the second PvP room setup.
• Battle doesn't end until BOTH avatar and drone are killed.
• The companion drone has EMP shielding, which means it's not killed by EMP. However, instead of being killed by EMP, the drone will be stunned (unable to attack), unless it has started moving towards the player.

 
Component-based gear system [ARENA ONLY]
In this update we'll introduce more Arena gear sets! Those gears will be a bit different:

• You'll only be able to acquire the full set - no gear parts involved for Update 37.
• Each gear piece will have a specific number of slots that can be used to equip mods (components).
• Mods are items which are installed on the gear parts, and once slotted, they offer a static bonus.
• The effects of those mods are only available in Arena matches (same as the gears).

In the future, you'll be able to earn Arena Gears with different rarities. There are two types of mod components available:

• Permanent - Those mods will remain available on your gear.
• Temporary - Those mods will expire after a certain amount of time. Those mods are usually better than the permanent ones in terms of performance.
• Note that Permanent and Temporary mods are placed on different slots. The higher the gear's rarity, the higher the number of slots.

Effects of mod components are:

• Defense
• Bonus HP
• Head Damage Reduction
• Less chance to be critically hit
• Offense
• Bonus Sniper Damage
• Bonus Assault Damage
• Bonus Railgun Damage
• Bonus Critical Chance
• Bonus Headshot Damage
• Utility
• Bonus XP
• Jump Recharge
• Jump Speed

Other notes:

• You will be able to disassemble/dismantle any mod component and receive an amount of Arena Tokens based on the component tier.
• Once a mod component is installed in a slot, it can't be removed.
• An installed mod component CAN be replaced/overwritten with a new one, but the old component will be permanently lost.
