About

The Defense Unit (Gauntlet) is a mechanical creature that appears in Genesis Gauntlet mission scenarios. It shares the Defense Unit name tag with its standard counterpart but uses a distinct entity ID, EndTank_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C, which differentiates it from non-Gauntlet variants when managing spawns or debugging mission encounters.

Admins working with Genesis mission content should use the Gauntlet-specific entity ID when targeting this creature in server commands, since using a generic Defense Unit ID may reference a different variant and produce unexpected results.

Because this creature is tied to Gauntlet mission logic, it is most relevant to admins running or troubleshooting Genesis-based event content rather than open-world spawn management.
