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 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 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 be making a pulsating sound which is audible from large distances (indicating its presence in the current cave). Once approached or shot, BET-C will immediately awaken and turn hostile against the dwarves.
An Infected BET-C has three different assault phases which it repeats in this order:
- 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 (which takes around 4 seconds to do). After rebooting BET-C, it will begin serving the dwarves instead of being influenced by the parasites.
Restored
After a defeated BET-C is rebooted, it will follow its new found friends and defend them from any approaching threats, although it will no longer deploy shields, nor will it board the drop pod at the end of a mission.
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.
