Repair Tool

The Repair Tool is equipped like a weapon and used to restore armor to allied players or repair allied machinery. A blue reticule that acts identical to the red enemy reticule, including a lock on feature, shows that you are targeting a friendly player that can have its armor regenerated or a machine that can be repaired. If nothing else is targeted, activating the tool will repair the players own armor. To use your Repair Tool, simply use your Fire Weapon key.
===Area of Effect===
Repair tools come in 2 varieties: Direct and Area
*Direct tools repair the greatest amount of damage per activation but only to a single target, either you or an ally. Their primary fire heals a single target at range; their alternate fire (F by default) targets yourself.
*Area tools repair for less then a Direct tool but affect several targets per activation. Their primary fire is a radial effect, repairing everything in a circle around you; their alternate fire (F by default) is a cone effect, repairing everything in front of you (the same area as a shotgun). Both modes will also repair yourself.
===Notes===
*The Repair Tool does not allow you to regenerate armor if your armor or your targets armor is at full.
*Players with the Hack ability, a Tier 3 Sapper skill, can also use the repair tool to repair hacked machinery.
*At Tools pump 3, a direct repair tool (not an area tool) can be used to jumpstart (revive) a dead machine. These include AFS MECHs and friendly control point Mortars that fall during assaults or defenses.
