Battlepods are a type of monster found in the Clockworks.

Traits

Battlepods are large, stationary constructs protected by a shield. As long as their shield is active, they are immune to all damage. They sometimes come with orbiting, breakable blockades in addition to their shield. Unlike other constructs, they lack resistances and weaknesses and are completely immune to all status effects.

Battlepods are typically found in Missions near the end of depths. While Battlepods are capable of using a large number of abilities, each individual Battlepod will only have a few of them at its disposal, making each encounter slightly different from the last.

Strategy

Razwog's Battlepod before starting the battle.
  • The Big Iron works similar to Battlepods, as it has a timed shield that protects it from all damage. It has three stages that increase the number of beams and how often the wires pop up to hit you. It is good to always be ready to hit it, as its shield stays up for far longer than Battlepods' shields. It is also wise to bring weapons that are good on stationary targets, such as the Autogun family or a cheaper and weaker alternative, the Leviathan Blade. After its defeat you will win the mission and gain access to the prize room.
  • Battlepods are supported by Gremlins and Constructs in battles, the general idea is to defeat the minor enemies first.

Trivia

  • The Prestige mission: Assault on Machine Shop 13 always has a Battlepod battle at the end of the second depth.
  • The Rank mission: A Revelation in Flames has a Battlepod with freeze status at the end of the second depth.
  • The Rank mission: Sewer Stash has two Battlepods with poison status at the end of the third depth.
  • The Rank mission: The Vile Engine has two Battlepods with shock status at the end of the third depth.
  • Operation Crimson Hammer has various Battlepods with fire status.
  • The Danger Mission: Grinchlin Assault has a freeze Battlepod at the end of each depth, the Battlepod of the Summit level is bigger than the others, taking the role of Boss.
  • Razwog's Battlepod is a poisonous Battlepod version (however, it doesn't use any poison attacks), its only ability is shooting bullets. This Battlepod appears in the Rank Mission: The Ancient Generator.
  • It is possible that The Big Iron has been shut down for years. This theory is supported because the distress call was sent hundreds of years ago. It is unknown who sent the message.
