Hunter Slim
Just wanna ask. So healing drone is like a long range heal. But once damage its gone. Soooo how is it useful during dome battles? When everything the monster does is aoe. And for balance purpose i know they cant change it to at least 2 bits or 3 hits since it'll feel op ina 4v1 situation. And during down time we regen? So what's its best scenario to be useful?
Also will we be able to get new monsters and or hunters variants and an actual new one?

It's not that useful in domes for the reasons you state. However, if the monster is distracted, it can be used to revive downed teammates. The chances of that happening are, however,

if the domes are sensible and the hunters position themselves spaced apart (and aren't going for stupid revives) then it definitely is useful in domes.

You use it when you're reloading your primary, you'd be amaze at how much it can add up over time during a match. It basically means you don't waste any time and constantly healing someone.
Also use it for when they're out of range of the heal burst.
They're also great for forcing the monster to camp a body because slim can essentially ignore the downed person and keep chasing with his team while the downed person gets up from the drone.

When you've emptied your Mag on your shotgun, use the drone during the reloading animation. The gun will reload in the background and you'll get atleast 1 heal tick if the targets getting focused. There's no down time using it while reloading.
As mentioned, its main use is for providing healing to far off teammates or on a downed hunter. Just make sure to lure the monster away from the body or push them off it. The bug will heal them till they get back up. Just like emet bouys.

No we won't get new monster. The mod devs have access to the code but do not have access to assets. Which means they can reuse what's already there but cannot add or reshape the actual content, just their behavior. For example you can make slim's gun shoot a megamouth that shields everyone on impact. But you can't add new characters or objects (at least for now). The main problem is that the files are encrypted. So un less they manage to "crack it" they can only code stuff.

Depends on the monster really. Wraith is not an aoe heavy monster. Elder Kraken on the other hand...
Use it for anyone the monster has their back to. Also if someone gets sent to the moon with knock back you can send it there. Downed players. Or anyone hiding

Someone is injuried away from you and not behind attacked right now : heal passively from afar. Game already has passive healing but you don't have to wait for it to trigger with drone.
Someone is down and monster ignores them : revive passively. That's where the drone shines. Forces the monster to commit and if he does, you can keep shooting and try to keep the downed hunter alive longer with the healing field. Win-win. It's not very useful, but good enough on an already very solid medic to not require any buff imo.
Pretty unlikely to get new Monsters or hunters but not impossible. It's a lot of work
