A Warbot as found in its natural environment

The Warbots were designed by Ceres, using the information held within the Ceres disk, in response to Regant's GenTank army. The Warbots are first encountered by the residents of Neocron in the battle of 2578 where they, together with other defensive measures, successfully defended the Dome Of York against the GenTanks. As the war went on, an ever increasing amount of Warbots were produced to combat Neocron. The war ground to a standstill as the PSI Monks, under Regants command, produced more and more GenTanks to fight them. Eventually, Ceres discovered the plans for a weapon based upon the nuclear bomb which could destroy all life in the wastelands, but leave his own armoured warriors, unharmed. Ceres rapidly deployed the weapon over the battlefield and thousands of GenTanks were destroyed by the resulting radiation. He threatened to use this new weapon against Neocron itself, if his enemies did not surrender, not realizing that the PSI Monks had already copied the Warbots radiation shielding and utilized it to create an armored suit. The suit enhanced the reflexes and capabilities of the GenTanks and the next wave walks into battle fully protected against the new threat. With the aid of the new protection and power granted by the suit, the GenTanks vanquished the Ceres Warbots and invaded the Dome of York, ending the bloody conflict.

Gameplay

The Warbots can be found all across the northern wastelands, especially in the zones surrounding the Military Base. They are divided into 2 classes: the standard Warbots, and the Warbot Titans. Upon death, the corpse of the Warbot is locked and requires a hacking TechLevel of, give or take, 60 to be looted. Both Warbots and Warbot Titans may drop unresearched, rare Tech Parts.
