The **BET-C** (**B**reakpoint **E**xplosives **T**ransport **-** **C**ombat-Specification), nicknamed "Betsy", is a Deep Rock Galactic-owned quadrupedal robot capable of walking on any surface, previously serving as a mobile defensive turret/grenade launcher.

## Gameplay

BET-C can rarely be found during missions, with a 5% chance to appear. Xynarch Charge-Suckers will always spawn in pairs of two.

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

As the 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 the dwarves.

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

An infected BET-C has three attacks:

* Aiming and firing short bursts of bullets at any nearby dwarves.

* Temporarily ceasing movement to activate a shield generator and launch 8 bombs in a small ring around itself.

* Re-positioning while firing a single grenade at any nearby dwarves.

The BET-C itself is completely invincible to all attacks, even in its pacified state. However, like the M.U.L.E., any electricity-based damage will temporarily slow it down.

To pacify the BET-C, the team must destroy both Charge-Suckers attached to it. Each Charge-Sucker has its own health bar and must be individually destroyed. While the Charge-Suckers cannot be frozen solid, they will take increased damage if enough cold is applied (this works similarly with Q'ronar type bugs).

Once the Charge-Suckers are removed, the BET-C short circuits, collapses and requires a reboot, similar to repairing a Mini-M.U.L.E. Rebooting the BET-C takes around 8 seconds, after which it follows its newfound friends and will turn its hostility towards enemies.

A repaired BET-C boasts the same impressive firepower it used against the dwarves. However, it loses its Bomb Shower ability.

## Combat

### Attacks

For **Precision Burst**, BET-C will use its turret, aim with a red laser and fire short bursts of 6 to 8 bullets. The table below shows the damage of one bullet.

For the **Bomb Shower** attack, BET-C plants itself into the ground, deploys a shield and then launches 8 **Quick Bombs** in rapid succession.

## 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.
