When you summon a combat drone it will harass enemies, drawing fire away from you, and knocking enemies out of cover. Combat Drone is a new power that only Engineers get.
Perhaps the most strategic move an Engineer can make is using his powers to gain strength in numbers via Combat Drone and AI Hack. We designed the Engineer to play as a more strategic, less brute force, class. IGN: What was the most important improvement made to the Engineer class for Mass Effect 2? Christina Norman: We wanted playing the engineer to have a unique feel to it. Today we outline the Engineer class with an interview with Mass Effect 2's lead combat designer, Christina Norman, and another trailer. In this sequel, you'll be given the opportunity to switch classes at the beginning of the game and, as we're learning, that choice might be a difficult one indeed.
Or, you may be looking for something new. You may have grown attached to the character class you used in the first Mass Effect.
