An IBIS REEF drop:
DR-B-001 TWIN CRIMSON FEATHERS:
The best drone/orbit weapon in the game, with a crazy high skill ceiling.
Yes, it's both. Also a twin beam cannon.
Tap to launch as coral beam orbits when docked. Pretty powerful, but slow firing.
if already deployed, this docks and recalls early to avoid overheat.
Short hold to deploy as coral versions of the charged laser drones. Attacks are weaker than in orbit mode, but good luck dodging. Can be triggered from the orbit state!
Long hold to fire as beam cannons. Shots are staggered - dodging both shots calls for zigzagging or evading in different directions. Can be triggered from either orbit or drone state, and fired from the current position of the drones.
DPS/Stagger per second on these is not great, but the flexibility makes them an unholy terror in PVP and most campaign bosses have no clue how to deal with them.

Player comments:
"THESE THINGS ARE SHIT THE UI IS GLITCHED"
"WTF HAX I GOT SHOT IN THE BACK"
"Lol get gud. Best in slot"
"The perfect drop for a boss that calls for total system mastery. Terrible if you try to use them as no thought weapons like normal drones and orbits. Makes the Zimmerman look mid when mastered."
"I suck with these things but they're too cool to not use anyway."
