DysTek Repair Tool & you
Hey guys, down anyone know if the DysTek automated repair tool has to be equipped before mounting a vehicle for its automated repair ability to kick in? I was in a few vehicles this last round and noticed that while driving the damaged walker there were no repairs being done.
I did not have the tool equipped before mounting the walker. Just logged onto the unranked, shot at a tank with my H-AVR, equipped the DysTek then mounted the damaged tank.
Regardless of the seat I was in there were no repairs being done on the tank. I made sure that I had DysTek in hand but still no luck.
Any ideas?

im pretty sure the tank needs to be occupied for it to repair. Plus you need the repair upgrade which i assume you have.

Yep Snail, I had unlocked the DysTek then scratched my head while looking at the armor health bar standing still. I had my gun equipped when I first noticed no self repair taking place so thought perhaps I needed to have the tool equipped first before boarding the vehicle... didn't get an automated repair either way. /scratches head

Oh, so I can't repair my own vehicle from inside it? Ah I thought you could autorepair your own vehicle! Originally Posted by Snail88

Thanks

Re: DysTek Repair Tool & you
Just a small note I found out while playing around in the Demo while waiting for my BF2142 order to come in.
An engineer can repair their vehicle from the #3 position of the jeep and from #5 and #7 of the troop dropship.
For that matter, those positions in addition to #4 and #6 of the troop dropship make drop and go supply drops quick and easy. Just toss your med/ammo box to people you pass by and keep moving. Alternatively you can position engineers and a support holding the ammo box in those seats and use the dropship as a flying antivehicle platform.
Starting to really like those vehicles in the demo. ^_^My sanity is not in question...
It was a confirmed casualty some time ago.
Light, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they ticked me off.
