Objective Specialist speed

(SgtCyndaquil) #1

So I was curious, If the mechanic augment increases repair rate by 20% and if you don’t have mechanic and you aren’t a objective specialist, you repair at a rate that’s 20% slower than that. how much does being an objective specialist increase your repair/disarm rate compared to someone who doesn’t have the mechanic augment. I know that on the wiki and in game, it just says “objective specialists repair/disarm objectives faster” but so far I have been unable to find an exact stat on how much faster it is.

Good question. I’ve never seen this mentioned anywhere, though from how it “feels” I’d say objective specialists repair about 2x as fast (or, 100% faster) as other mercs. So I’d assume that’s about 70% faster than mercs with mechanic?

@Faraleth might just be willing to ask this in his questions to the devs, I’m sure one of them will know. Failing that, this is probably a question that would get an actual answer on the developer’s own forums since they don’t seem to read/reply here.

Standard times are as follows:

  • Arm C4: 5s
  • Defuse C4: 8s
  • Repair Secondary: 8s

Engineer times are:

  • Arm C4: 3s
  • Defuse C4: 4s
  • Repair Secondary: 4s

So with “mechanic” augment:

  • Arm C4: 5s
  • Defuse C4: 6.4s
  • Repair Secondary: 6.4s

I’m pretty sure this is correct, as the stats for standard and engineer times were provided by Smooth (game designer) a little while ago. :slight_smile: The “with mechanic augment” were numbers I have written down based on the augment’s function. I’m unsure whether the 6.4 is rounds up or down, or not. Will have to ask for that. ^^

Bottaleth to the rescue once again.

@Faraleth
The augment text is "Improves any repair tools and disarm rates by 20% ". Are you sure it also affects planting speed?

And there’s still that “little” bug or rather lack of functionality that you don’t get priority over someone without the perk.

@MarsRover You’re right… corrected! XD
