The capture bot rocket is a special type of ammunition for the rocket launcher, rocket turret, and spidertron. It is used to convert biter or spitter spawners into captive biter spawners.

When fired at an enemy spawner, the spawner will become captured, behaving like a captive biter spawner that has just run out of food. Once bioflux is fed to the captive spawner, it will begin generating biter eggs.

Capture bot rockets can only affect biter or spitter spawners. When capture bot rockets are loaded into rocket turrets or spidertrons, they will exclusively target spawners and will not fire at any other enemies, even if the turret's target priorities are set to non-spawner enemies. Most weapons will not fire on previously captive spawners that have reverted to wild, but turrets and spidertrons with capture bot rockets will fire on them to re-capture them.
