Greetings Overseers!
We'd like to introduce you to the newest minion in our robo-family, the Combat Drone! This little guy may look cute and cuddly, but all he's ever known is violence, and he's ready to ruin your day! Build him now to get a more robust home defense for your tier 1 base, but don't expect him to do anything useful besides satiate his lust for blood and scrap metal!
Here's the full list of patch notes for the overnight patch.
