“	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

BET-C's Idle Pulsating Sound

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.

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

Tips

• Focusing on dodging while the BET-C is focused on you during its Precision Burst phase is recommended, as dodging this attack is fairly easy, but getting hit by the attack, especially on higher hazard levels, can easily be lethal.
• Be aware that a friendly BET-C is capable of accidentally dealing a lot of friendly fire to Dwarves, so it is advised players stand clear of it during combat.

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.
