"The BET-C autonomous weapons platform is a remnant of the first attempts to tame Hoxxes. Alas, it was quickly discovered that a local species of parasite, Xynarch Charge-suckers, loved nothing better than to corrupt the programming of the BET-C units by gorging themselves on the copper wiring and electric charge within. Any BET-C yet left on Hoxxes should be treated with extreme caution - these mechs were designed to take on the worst Hoxxes has to offer, and should be treated as such. Still, if a mining team should find themselves able to dislodge the parasites, they just might gain a new temporary ally."

- Miner's Manual

The BET-C or Breakpoint Explosives Transport - Combat-Specification (nicknamed Betsy) is a Deep Rock Galactic owned quadrupedal robot capable of walking on any surface, previously serving as a mobile depository, defensive turret, and grenade launcher.

Gameplay
BET-C can rarely be found during missions. Before its corruption by a pair of Xynarch Charge-Sucker machine parasites, BET-C presumably acted as a depository/security escort for an unknown previous team of dwarves. Unlike the M.U.L.E., BET-C is equipped with a large turret and a grenade launcher, and is suited with a Shield Generator, which it uses to hunker down when in danger.

Infected
As BET-C has poor component security, a Xynarch Charge-Sucker is able to corrupt it and control it against its fellow dwarves. There's a low chance that dwarves will randomly encounter a sleeping infected BET-C unit during missions. While an Infected BET-C is in a sleep state, it'll make a distinctive pulsating sound audible from vast distances. Once approached or shot, BET-C will immediately awaken and turn hostile against the dwarves.

An Infected BET-C has three different assault phases:
 * Aim and shoot in short bursts at any nearby players.
 * Slam into the ground, activate a dome shield and dish out eight bombs around itself.
 * Re-position while firing a single grenade at any nearby players.

Once the Xynarch Charge-Suckers are removed off an infected BET-C, it will collapse to the ground and require a reboot in a similar manner to repairing a Mini-M.U.L.E, which takes around 8 seconds to do. After rebooting the BET-C, it will follow its new found friends and fire at enemies. BET-C is completely invincible to all attacks, and boasts the same impressive firepower it uses against the dwarves.

The chances of encountering a BET-C are 3% for Hazard 1 and 6% for Hazard 2 and up.

Attacks
For Precision Burst BET-C will use its turret, aim with a red laser and fire short bursts of 6 to 8 bullets. The table below show the damage of one bullet.

For the Bomb Shower attack, BET-C plants itself into the ground, deploys a shield and then launches 7 Quick Bombs in rapid succession.

Trivia

 * A corrupted M.U.L.E. was originally teased on Twitter back in September, 2018. The model shown was very different from the one that exists today.
