Follow these step to use the roll drone effectively:

Select the roll drone from your inventory.
Pick an item, monster, ally, or yourself.
Press E on your keyboard to trigger the drone.
Watch the drone do its job for a few seconds.

Note that the effects last for a few seconds. This can come in handy during an encounter where you can use yourself as bait to distract the monsters. Attaching it to your person can drastically increase your roll distance compared to without it.

Other applications include using it on slightly heavier items with great value to drag them to the extraction vehicle faster. If a monster has been getting on your nerves, attach the roll drone to it and enjoy a few seconds of peace before it finds its footing and starts hunting you down again.

Another way to use the roll drone is attaching it to your melee weapons. Take a weapon that is much lighter and easy to handle, like the baseball bat, and attach the drone to increase the base damage and take advantage of the bounce impact. This item is one of the more useful drones that encourage you to get creative during runs.
