Targeting Drone

When this small device is activated, the small Targeting Drone hovers around your head and emits targeting laser sights. The lasers can dramatically improve your chance to hit and increase your Perception, allowing you to better see stealthy foes. Targeting Drone also grants you resistance to powers that debuff your chance to hit. This is a toggle power and must be activated and deactivated manually. Like all toggle powers, the Targeting Drone uses Endurance while active. Targeting Drone also adds a slight damage bonus when used in conjunction with Sniper Rifle.
