Grungarian wrecking drones,[1] often referred to as just wrecking drones,[2] are robotic enemies in Full Frontal Assault. They are kamikaze robots belonging to the grungarian marauders that carry large explosives, which they use to destroy themselves and deal immense area-of-effect damage.
Gameplay[]
Wrecking drones are bipedal robots that serve as mobile bombs. They will rush towards a target—typically a player or a base generator—and slam their explosive payload down, resulting in a massive blast. As kamikaze units, they will also detonate upon being defeated, creating a large explosion that can be just as deadly.
In the campaign, wrecking drones are fought exclusively in the GrummelNet Plasma Harvester level and in Zurgo's Lair of Doom. Their on-death explosion can be used strategically to damage other nearby grungarians, but players must be careful not to get caught in the blast themselves. Alongside the grungarian tank, wrecking drones are one of the most dangerous threats to a player's base and should be destroyed as quickly as possible. The Cryoshot is particularly effective, as it freezes them without causing a detonation. Otherwise, they should be destroyed from a safe distance with ranged weapons like the Buzz Blades or Warmonger.
In multiplayer, wrecking drones must first be unlocked for the team via a 1,200 bolt squad upgrade, replacing the grungarian brawler. Once unlocked, they can be purchased during the Squad Phase for 800 bolts each to be used against the opposing team's base. Keep in mind to not place them behind grungarian tanks in the load order, as the bulk of the tank blocks them from reaching the base.
