Nano-Armor Kit

|-|Standard= The  is a tool available to the Engineer. It is auto-granted at rank 1, and upgraded using Certification Points.
 * -|AE=

The Nano-Armor Kit is the Engineer's tool of the trade, allowing them to interact with most inorganic equipment. The kit can be used to repair any allied Vehicles, MAXes and Defectors, most deployables, Generators, and constructs, at a rate of between 125 and 167 health per second based on the rank of the tool. It is also capable of defusing hostile C-4 and Tank Mines, deconstructing them safely without detonation.

The rate at which the kit repairs allies and the maximum amount of heat the tool can sustain are dependent on the rank of the tool, although it can diffuse explosives at the same rate regardless of rank. The kit cannot be used to repair a vehicle the user is inside—such as from the rumble seat of a Flash, Harasser, Chimera, or Valkyrie.

To repair allied equipment, press and hold the Fire key ( by default). To deconstruct hostile C-4 and Tank Mines, press and hold the Aim key ( by default).

Heat
The Nano-Armor Kit uses a heat-based ammo pool, in contrast to the standard magazine-based ammo system most infantry weapon use. Heat provides a meter that fills upon use, and dissipates when not in use.

The kit has a heat capacity of between 105 and 135, based on the rank of the tool, generates 10 heat per second, and has a recovery delay of 1 second. It dissipates 45 heat per second, and incurs an overheat penalty of 2 seconds.

Certifications
"The Nano-Armor Kit repairs friendly vehicles, MAXes, equipment, and can deconstruct enemy tank mines."

Ribbons
It is possible to earn both Ribbons while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for repairing a certain amount of health with the tool.

History

 * September 7, 2016 Update
 * Fixed an issue where the repair tool would not play audio when repairing cloaked vehicles for some factions.
 * When repairing a cloaked vehicle, the repair shimmer is only visible to the local player (only the player repairing the vehicle sees the shimmer, no one else).
 * All ranks of the repair tool are now able to deconstruct enemy tank mines. Previously, only the max rank would enable tank mine deconstruction.
