Changes: BET-C

Revision as of 18:49, 8 May 2022

“

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 (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, with a 5% chance to appear.

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 for offense and a Shield Generator to protect itself when in danger.

Infected

BET-C's Idle Pulsating Sound

As BET-C has poor component security, Xynarch Charge-Suckers are able to access its circuitry to consume copper and electricity, and as a result they can corrupt and control it against its fellow Dwarves.

Infected BET-C units can randomly be encountered in missions, initially in a dormant state. While in this state, BET-C makes a distinctive pulsating sound audible from vast distances. Once approached or shot, BET-C immediately awakens and turns hostile against the Dwarves.

An infected BET-C has three different attacks:

Aim and shoot in short bursts at any nearby Dwarves.
Activate a shield generator and launch 8 bombs in a small ring around itself.
Re-position while firing a single grenade at any nearby Dwarves.

To pacify BET-C, the team must destroy both Charge-Suckers attached to it. Once they are removed, BET-C collapses and requires a reboot, in a similar manner to repairing a Mini-M.U.L.E. Rebooting BET-C takes around 8 seconds, after which it follows its newfound friends and will fire at enemies.

BET-C is completely invincible to all attacks, and boasts the same impressive firepower it uses against the 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.
