About

The Beta Defense Unit is a mechanical boss creature that appears during the beta-tier end-boss encounter. It is tracked in the game engine under the name tag "End Boss Tank (Beta)" and behaves as a mid-difficulty variant between the easier alpha and harder gamma configurations.

Admins running boss arena tests or event servers can reference the entity ID EndTank_Character_BP_Med_C when using spawn or summon commands to place this creature directly. Because it is mechanical, standard creature-type rules for mechanical entities apply, taming and torpor mechanics differ from biological creatures.

This creature is part of the base game content with no DLC requirement, so it is available on any server without additional content packs.
