    Wiki says 20%. Obviously it's older information, but which is correct? Is it 20% and the 100% text in-game is a bug, or is it supposed to be 100% and the wiki needs to be updated?

    I would think 20% is correct

    I'm not so sure, 20% would make sense for a theoretical seeker drone doff, but support drones have a really high cooldown to just get a 20% chance. 100% also seems high, but I could see a case for either one being intended.

    slightly confusing here, because it's a 2 stage process here, due to the fact that purples give two bonus drones


    what happens is, you have a 20% base chance of getting a bonus drone proc.
    If that bonus drone procs, you then have a 100% chance of getting another bonus drone.

    So, if the bonus procs, you always get two bonus drones with the doff equipped. If it does not, you get none.

    Sounds clumsy, but initially, I think it was intended that you not always get two bonus drones, but they changed it to an either/or setup.

    so the proper chance should be 20%
