Different Nautilus utility

Auto Omni repairs nearby Railjack hull damage and extinguishes fires with a 20-second cooldown. It is a Railjack repair precept, not an enemy-grouping substitute for Cordon; choose based on whether clustering or ship repair is needed.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Its clustering effect has a 15-second cooldown.
Rank investment expands radius but does not change the listed cooldown.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting the 15-second cooldown to shorten with rank.
Choosing it for Railjack repair, which is the distinct function listed for Auto Omni.
