I agree with all the buffs, an ingenious solution to the frantic problem, a reworking of torsos to make other torsos other than the Monkeys viable, except for the swoop buff, 116 heat damage is by far too high, comparing it to the second highest heat damage dealing drone in the game, Backstabbing Guardian, which deals 73 heat damage.
Here a quick comparison:
-
Backstabbing Guardian
-
Strengths
- Decent damage output
- High heat damage
-
Weaknesses
- Heat Generation to Damage difference is low: 11
- Weighs 48 kg
- Damage is lower than other non l-m drones
-
Strengths
-
Swoop
-
Strengths
- Weighs 22 kg
- Extremely high heat damage
- Heat Generation to Damage difference is too high: 85
-
Weaknesses
- Energy cost
- Low damage
-
Strengths
Now an analysis
Both are l-m items, the Backstabbing Guardian deals too little damage and is not used very often. Swoop deals very little damage and was unviable due to the energy free heat meta. After the buff Swoop has become by far the strongest heat drone. Its low weight allows for 2 Fractured Blizzard Dissolvers, which justify its low damage, its heat damage, as well as its Heat Generation to Damage difference mean that, against another heat mech you will have a huge edge, and against physical mechs you will too. The only big downside remaining is the energy cost, however due to the buff on torsos, you should have the module space to have enough energy to use your Swoop.
I suggest either making Swoop weigh at least 45 kg, or buffing the other heat drones to have, not an equivalent, but a more on par heat Damage amount, and a more similar Heat generation to Damage difference.

Honestly, you get a free box with increased drop rates, plus an option to buy an item you would normally buy, but with extra dropr ates and paint. Vs ts which jsut gave you the easter pack, but with no increased drop rates, and no free box.
Just be thankful.
