Snitch
Revision as of 21:08, 24 July 2020 by Someoneelsewhere (talk | contribs) (Changes summary reg. "crawling" and mobility, since "crawling" refers to something that is very or extremely slow, which fits with the mobile bombs in Total Annihilation, but not with the often-fast bombs in Zero-K.)
The Snitch is a burrowing "crawling"/mobile bomb from the Shieldbot Factory.

Description
This fast-moving suicide unit is very good against massed units, particularly assault tanks. It features a cloaking device which is automatically activated once the unit stands still, effectifely turning it into a mine. Chain explodes terribly, so best not to mass it. Counter with defenders and missile trucks, or single cheap units to set off a premature detonation.
