Tech-Priest Payback Calculator i

This tool works out what a Tech-Priest pays back, from your difficulty, squad size, and how deep into the run you buy it. The payout shrinks the further in you go, so timing matters more than it used to.

Payout timeline iEach block is one payout: what every player banks from it, the running per-player total, and the wave it lands in.All 8 are collected. The priest keeps its full budget, because its timer pauses between waves and it now survives sector transitions.Amounts shrink as the run goes deeper, so later payouts are worth less than earlier ones.The last one is an "exit tick": a final payout the priest drops as it leaves, once its 5 minutes of fighting run out.The exit tick only fires if the priest survives to leave. If its shield is destroyed and it dies first you lose that payout, so keep it defended.
