One of the classic workhorses of DRG, the twin-linked Power Drill makes short work of more or less anything unfortunate enough to be in front of it. That includes your team mates, mind.
— Item Description

About

The Reinforced Power Drills are the key mobility and support tool of the Driller, destroying any kind of terrain they are used upon. They are spun by holding the fire button, and the Driller will be able to freely move while using them, with a movement speed penalty. The Drills can also be used against enemies to conserve ammo, and you can drill enemies frozen by your Cryo Cannon for extra damage with minimal ammo loss. By default, the Drills have 38 units of fuel. When all the fuel is depleted, they with become inoperable until they are refueled at a Resupply Pod. The Drills are susceptible to overheating, and will become jammed for a short while if the heat gauge reaches 100 percent.

The Drills are an invaluable tool during extractions, as they can be used to drill a tunnel directly back to the Drop Pod. While the drills can be used as a melee weapon, they will not be effected by any melee perks or drinking related buffs.

Trivia

  • The Power Drills are very inefficient and overheat easily. This may be because the prices of fuel are low in the industrial future the game is set in.

Bugs

  • Switching to the Power Drills changes the FOV slightly.
