MACs are flying construction robots made at a Robotics Factory for 3 team res each (15 supply).
What MACs do#
- Build structures the commander places. A MAC builds slower than a marine, but it does not get bored, and the marines are free to fight.
- Weld structures (50 health/s), power nodes, exosuits and marine armor. MACs weld marine armor at half the normal rate, and at a tenth of it while the marine is in combat.
- Follow a marine or exo when ordered and keep welding them.
- Idle MACs look for nearby things to build or weld on their own.
Tips#
- Two MACs following an exo push make it much harder to kill.
- MACs are fragile (300 health). Keep them behind the marines, not in front.
- Right-click a power node with a MAC selected to repair a dark room.
