OI-M5-W3601 LUCK

Designed in YE 36 by Origin Industries, OI-M5-W3601 Laser, Utility Cutter/Killer, or LUCK, is a small support drone created to assist the M5 and M3 Series Frames. It is based on the LANCE Drone.

About the LUCK

The LUCK is a simplified, high-maneuverability drone created in order to compliment the Knight powered Frame. Made of simple, readily available parts and materials, it is an inexpensive, disposable drone which can help multiply a frame's battlefield presence by extending its maximum range and multiplying its possible angles of attack.

Suicide Rush

As a last resort, the drone may be rammed into a target in order to do damage. Depending on the state of the drone, it's remaining power, and how fast it is moving, this may have differing effects. Needless to say, this is a one-time use, and damage is never consistent.
