Crowdfunder on eqiupment drone?

[Exile]

Running w/ Capacitor and don't want to give it to a drone and risk losing it, but found a Crowdfunder just on a random shrine drop. Curious if it would still use my money to fire if I gave it to a drone or not.

I "bought" a drone with the healing fruit, and then I found the crowdfunder, the drone kept using the item and crowdfunder would constantly keep shooting when I had the money. It makes me question what are they even useful for.

I know if you give the drones an item, they'll use it - so if you give them something like disposable missile launcher or primordial cube, they'll constantly be using it which makes them really useful in some cases as a second equipment slot (or third for MUL-T) that is just being used on auto. The issue with fruit is that the drone was using it, but it just heals itself. As for the crowdfunder auto-firing, I feel like that's a lunar item that causes the cooldown of equipment to be reduced, but they're used immediately upon cooldown finishing. I forget the name though.

But he was using his item and mine was being used as well, not sure if that's a bug or how it's intended, but I didn't like it.

Shouldn't be as intended. Unless you had the lunar item that constantly activates your equipment after cooldown ends (which means crowdfunder stays active as long as you have money), I'd say it was a bug. I've given the drones primordial cube before and they just toss little black holes up all the time w/o activating anything I had.

Don't remember that, but that makes sense, could be since I was carrying the "LEGO" block to unlock Rex, so I didn't care about that lunar item since it did nothing as long as I had the battery thing. lol

Rex is interesting to use, got him first run thanks to Huntress. Now I'm just grinding the achievements I got left - namely the level 20 run and the 5 lunar items.

5 lunar items is a bit easier now. lunar pods seem to always be atleast 1 or so per level, except maybe sometimes on abyssal depths. but you can always throw a token at the newt shrine and go to the shop to buy things for 2 tokens. love using corpse bloom on rex. combine with some gestures of the drowned for auto equipment use, and get the spinal fluid lunar item and you got a fast moving Ivysaur!

I've noticed that, but I can't ever get enough coins together now. Admittedly, I'm being picky with the lunar items (I've been hard avoiding brittle crown and keep seeing it, naturally) but the abundance of pods will make it easy once I do a run with JUST that in mind.
