Guard Dog Rover Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Guard Dog Rover is a backpack drone. When equipped it will target nearest enemy to the helldiver wearing the backpack and will attack it with a laser beam.
Its perfect for getting rid of small melee enemies and will protect helldiver from Hunter enemies that are usually a major threat.
Although it can do a lot of friendly fire in certain conditions and easily take out other helldivers and its owner as well if enemies will get from the other side.
In order to avoid friendly fire its important to understand how Guard Dog Rover works:
- Its always over right shoulder of the helldiver who is wearing the backpack
- It will attack the nearest enemy
Those 2 facts will allow helldivers to minimize the chances of being killed by their own Rover if they will focus on the enemies on the left from them.
