Mechanic - Controlling Trackers

Recently got my Mechanic to level 19 and unlocked the Bleeding Trackers card. Can the Mechanic’s summoned trackers be controlled in any way? Will they prioritize a tagged enemy? I’m intrigued by this card but don’t want to waste a slot if it won’t have a strategic use on my two-man Horde team. Thanks!

They’ll go after marked targets… including ones your teammates have.

How have you got to level 19 and still don’t understand how the Ultimate works?

You can play a game as much as possible and still not understand its intricacies. Not everyone worries about the mechanics of a video game.

Confusion is normal

True. Case in point: without ever completely understanding how the meatshield grenade mechanic works, I managed to Master every hive, even get 1% scores or solo on some of them, and even USED the mechanic often on certain hives while not understanding the details of what was going on behind scenes. Also, even more embarassingly, but hey, I’ll admit it now: it took me quite a while to recognize that Lahni/Blademaster ultimate doesn’t work while holding the Breaker mace. Must have made a fool of myself in random lobbies a few times before I knew that, lol.

Because Del’s ultimate isn’t exactly the most relevant thing about the class?

to be frank i didnt know robotic experts ult worked via marked targets and didnt know trackers did the same till just now.

how would we know that’s how it works? The ult description nor the cards say anything about it. It’s knowledge you would only know through word of mouth or being extremely observant, going out of your way to test obscure things.

Trackers should be able to have an option to collect power from the battlefield or help repair fortifications

That would be a great feature.

Tracker balls do collect energy though. I remember being in game, dead and switching to viewer cam and following a tracker ball roll around searching for enemies. Along the way it collected more than a handful of energy drops.
