SHOGGOTH: NEW ROBOT BUILD
A robot built around the idea of peeking from behind cover. Exploit every building and elevation around you to land shots without fearing return fire, but beware of flanking maneuvers — despite its strong Aegis shield, Shoggoth is not suited for close-range fights. Shoggoth can move with its weapon platform elevated indefinitely, but firing the Tracking Shot causes its head to retract and puts the ability on cooldown.
SHOGGOTH
The puzzling result of EvoLife giving its engineers too much freedom.
Line Of Sight: The platform housing the robot's weapon slots rises, and the speed of the robot is reduced. In this configuration, the robot gains access to its built-in weapon, which damages enemies and inflicts the TRACK effect. After a delay after firing, the robot's weapon slots lower and the ability recharges.

VOONITH (L) / URHAG (M) / SHANTAK (H)
The physics behind this… remain best unexplored.
Experimental long-range systems that deal more damage at greater distances. Their energy projectiles are dispatched in a vertical wave with zero horizontal dispersion. When part of a wave is blocked by an obstacle, the remaining section continues forward without losing damage potential.

FHTAGN
All this biological tinkering must have had an effect on the speech organs of EvoLife citizens.
Ability 1: The host gains additional damage for each destroyed enemy with a Track effect applied.
Ability 2: Passively boosts the host’s weapon damage.
Ability 3: The host's regenerating Aegis systems have increased capacity and regeneration speed.
Ability 4: A portion of the host's damage dealt to Tracked enemies beyond 600m ignores Defense Points.
BAEK TAEJUN
Just a few extra appendages for managing the weapons panel.
Taejun's Awareness: When activating the built-in weapon, Shoggoth temporarily activates the Quantum Radar and deals increased damage.
Taejun's Audacity: The firing rate of Shantak, Urhag, and Voonith guns is increased.
ACID RHINO: NEW ULTIMATE BUILD
The Ultimate Rhino is receiving a significant overhaul with an indestructible shield, defense points and improved maneuverability. While its core unique ability remains, you will now retain your shield cover for a few seconds after charging, with the ability to turn now enabled. Additionally, all incoming damage received during the charge is converted to DoT giving a crucial window to secure the kill.
ULTIMATE RHINO
Ready for a ramming run!
Ultimate Assault Mode: Rhino activates an integrated, impenetrable physical shield and gains uncontrollable acceleration, but cannot use its medium slots. Additionally, the robot converts all incoming damage into a DoT effect. The effect persists during the charge and for a short time afterward.
Corrosion Protection: The robot reduces all incoming DoT damage.

| Durability | 600,000 |
