Description
Has Description::''"The Advanced Decoy requires more charging time, but comes with AI control for decoy movement'

Advanced Decoy is a variant of Decoy and is only made by crafting using recipes bought from ARES Suppliers. Activating the ability turns the player invisible for several seconds. Firing or using melee will remove invisibility, but using abilities will not. The ability also leaves behind a decoy that looks like the player, and all NPC enemies that were targeting the Recon will target the decoy instead, giving a few much-needed seconds to allow the Recon to move to a safer position. This decoy explodes after several seconds, damaging enemies in an area around it. When used in mid-air, the decoy will drop to the ground. Visual effects on the player are unaffected by invisibility, so players in PvP will see you if you have these effects. When running while invisible, dust clouds can be seen at the player's feet, allowing other players in PvP to target them. Advanced Decoy has a longer cooldown than Decoy. Drone Modules are used during crafting of Advanced Decoy.

The advanced decoy will move and shoot. the advanced decoy's bullets do 1/4 the damage of the Recon's weapon, and are affected by weapon perks. If the Recon is using their secondary when the ability is activated, the decoy will be spawned wielding the same secondary.
