 Star Ingredient(s)

COVID-6019, previously the Devourer, is the battleship of the Contagion faction. It is also a living ship, and like all Contagion ships, it has a -75% weight modifier. All of its weapon slots are turreted and have built in targeting as a result.

This ship is much more powerful than any other Contagion ship, having significantly more weapon slots - 27 in total, which is the most of any other Battleship in Event Horizon. COVID-6019 uses laser weapons, and is the only Contagion ship as of yet to fit the Oblivion Cannon.

In *Frontier,* instead of a duel, the player must reach level 97-5 to combat the infected colony located in 97-1. The battleship is unlocked after defeating the colony. Unlike duels, the specified ship class isn't mandatory, so any ship will do.

## Player use

COVID-6019 is a very big ship, and lacks yellow slots compared to its predecessors. Because of its lower base weight, it is easier to reach 20/20 with this ship, which makes up for the lack of slots. Its lower slots can be expanded to fit Heavy lightning Cannons, but some players find them more useful as fuel storage. The Oblivion Cannon is very powerful when used with this ship.
Due to its large amount of green slots, this ship can fit a lot of reactors or clones and easily become very powerful. For player use, this ship can become very tanky and immobilise ships with an Oblivion Cannon. This ship can be obtained relatively early in the game, and such players may find Laser Cannons useful on this ship.

## Strategy

COVID-6019 is a difficult ship to deal with, however it can be outranged by ships faster than 10/10. Using a Drone Capture System on the clones is a very effective method of dealing with this ship.

* **Non-veterans**  are rather slow, but should not be underestimated - they use three Heavy Laser Beams and can deal a lot of damage to ships foolish to get too close. They also have higher regeneration than any other build for this ship. Non-veterans should be easily taken care of by weapons with decent range such as missiles or torpedoes. As with every Contagion ship this ship also has a clone.
* **Veterans** have two clones, and are slightly slower than non-veterans. They use Oblivion Cannons to immobilise ships that stray too close, so it is not recommended to approach them with close-range builds such as Multicannon-wielding ones. This ship also uses the same warp drive seen on Tartarus, Chariot (in EHF), and Doomstar, so a reasonably fast ship is recommended to stay out of its jump range. It is recommended to attack this ship after you notice it jumping. You can force the ship to jump by shooting it, and then fly after it. Be careful not to get too close.
* **Double veterans** are extremely dangerous, possessing the same firepower as veterans and the same amount of clones. They also have Super Stealth (the module that Object 18 uses to go invisible) so simply outranging them is not a viable strategy. If you manage to get their health down, they can heal back up using their Infinity Stones. As they have Oblivion Cannons that will fire at you from any side, it is recommended to use a very fast ship to try and draw their fire, and using a weapon like the Heavy Lightning Cannon, or another EMP weapon to stop this ship before it can stop you.

[it's just that you didn't try to make some dangerous builds on covid6019 which are really extreme)
