About

The Malfunctioned Defense Unit is a mechanical creature found in the Genesis DLC. As a malfunctioned variant, it behaves erratically compared to its standard counterpart and is tied to the life-support systems of the Genesis simulation environment.

Admins reference this creature primarily when using spawn commands, kill-all scripts, or encounter-tuning configs. Use the entity ID EndTank_Character_BP_LifeSupport_C in commands like SpawnDino or DestroyAll to target this specific variant without affecting other Defense Unit types.

Being a mechanical creature type, it is immune to certain status effects and torpor-based taming methods. Keep this in mind when designing server events or custom encounter zones on Genesis maps.
