Me and my friend were playing a co-op vs AI game just for the laughs, and a few minutes in I noticed that my SCV was chasing his probe down... to repair it!? (It was on auto-repair.) Naturally, I was surprised, So we tested it with a few other units.

Apparently, SCV's can repair Stalkers, Immortals, and collossi too!

Has anyone else known about this already?

I kind of assumed but never really tested it. Nice find. Might we see some sort of gay thor + collosus with mass repair rush in 2v2 now? :D

for there to be pro there has to be noob.

There is an achievement for this, it's not a secret.

edit: hmm, at least there was in the beta, can't find it now
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Wow, never noticed but it makes sense. Stalkers, colossi and immortals are all mechanical units.

You couldn't repair Protoss units in Brood War, just Terran stuff. Allied or not never mattered.

Almost all protoss units are mechanical, excluding templars, zealots, etc... It's really strange that you can repair protoss units...

Nope. Didn't work in BW. I always wanted to repair a Carrier with an SCV. I guess I can now.
Nothing worth having comes easy.

It works for MULEs too, if that helps. Not sure if you already assumed that, didn't mention it, or never thought about it. But I'm just confirming it for you!

My friend and I found this out when we played 2v2 during Phase 1 of the beta. I thought it was common knowledge by this point, but I guess not.
