Spider charge

The Spider mine/charge is a device which can be placed by the soldier to defend an area from infantry attack. Battle Hackers can scan for them, hack them, and convert them to their side or destroy them.

They come in two forms:



Spider charge
Demolition Trooper only This is the original spider charge. it detonates on proximity to the mine and kills troopers instantaneously. ABEs take two charges.

EMP spider charge
Battle Hacker only This is a spider charge that instead of being lethal it stops all electronics in a close proximity of the mine. It is destroyed on detonation. It will knock out the HUD of the soldier caught, making him unable to aim well or coordinate a sufficient attack against you, thus giving you the upper hand. One of the drawbacks is that you can't always be sure the soldier you are attacking was the one that struck the mine, as there is no visible sign.
