Distractor capsule

Rainbow: Add consumed by Destroyer capsule

}}

[[File:Distractor-usage.gif|frame|right|Distractor robots being spawned and holding position.]]
An advanced capsule which, when used, will spawn three Distractor robots at the players cursor.
Distractors have infinite laser energy and will hold their general position, attacking any enemies that come within range, until they are destroyed or their lifespans elapse. To use; place the capsule in a quick-bar slot and press the corresponding quick-slot key. The capsule will fly to the position of the cursor and deploy.

== Strategy ==
Distractor robots can be useful for providing temporary defense for weak or undefended areas during Biter attacks. They are also very useful for drawing the fire of enemy worms while attacking Biter bases. Simply fire one or more Distractor capsules into the midst of enemy worms and, as long as they have not already targeted the player, the worms will prioritize killing the Distractors.
== Count Limit ==
[[File:Robot-Count.png|225px|thumb|right]]Since the Distractor robot is stationary, it is unaffected by and does not count toward the [[Follower robot count]] limit imposed on other Combat Robots. The number of concurrently spawned Distractors is limited only by their lifespan, number of Defender Capsules carried, and delay in spawning.

[[File:Defender-usage.gif|frame|right|Defender being spawned and following the player.]]
A basic capsule which, when used, will spawn a single Defender robot.
The Defender has infinite ammunition and will follow the player, attacking any enemies that come within range, until it is destroyed or its lifespan elapses. To use; place the capsule in a quick-bar slot and press the corresponding quick-slot key. The capsule will fly to the position of the cursor and deploy.

== Strategy ==
Follower robots will only loosely follow the player and are subject to inertia. This allows the player to 'swing' packs of follower robots into enemy bases to damage enemy structures with less risk to himself. Launching [[Distractor capsule]]s into the enemy base, as well as using the speed of the [[Car]] or [[Basic exoskeleton equipment]] can further reduce damage to the player.

== Count Limit ==
[[File:Robot-Count.png|225px|thumb|right]]The maximum number of active Defender robots is limited by the [[Follower robot count]] research. While using follower robots, the number of robots in-use will be visible on an icon to the right of the quick-bar. Hovering over the icon with the cursor will show the types of robots and the currently researched maximum.
