Weeper Tank
Enemy armored vehicle that malfunctioned and detonated hard enough to punch through anti-explosive shields.
Story so far
Surveying the battlefield, Boomer reports that the blast which took out the slime boss appears to have come from one of the Weepers — the thing seems to have malfunctioned and then gone up. The explosion was so strong that it powered straight through all of the anti-explosive shields, leaving what he calls a bloody mess, with Cheese Sticks raining down several kilometers away.
Carl is disappointed it wasn't a fragging incident, and draws an immediate tactical lesson: if those Weeper tank things are going to blow like that, he does not want to use the captured ones unless he has to. He asks Boomer to have Florin see if he can figure out what happened.
Appearance
An armored enemy tank-type vehicle, now a crater and scattered wreckage after a shield-piercing detonation.
Role
