| Description |
| This digger dumper scoop is great for flipping enemies. Not so useful for gathering resources. |
The GeoCorp Two-Scoop Loader is a grade 2 Weapon block manufactured by GeoCorp. Like all GeoCorp blocks, it can be crafted with a GeoCorp Fabricator.
It has 8 attachment point(s) and takes up 92 cell(s).
Usage[]
Like it's smaller kin, it's purpose is not for resource gathering or harvesting. Rather, it works well for disrupting the ground-based movement of enemy techs. It's high mass limits it to larger techs, but they are the best with this, as they could potentially force the enemy into unfavorable positions, where they could be damaged by other weapons.
When the fire command is held, it will raise to the air, and will hold position, until it's released. This action may cause the continuous fire of weapons to be blocked by the blade, so one may have to adjust their block placements, or use slow-firing weapons that can be operated in bursts.
However, this mechanic can also be used to protect such slow-firing weapons. Due to their commonly explosive or otherwise vulnerable nature, a tech can be designed to protect them using these claws. The weapon can be covered by a loader claw when idle, and when being fired, the claws will be moved out of the way. While this does indeed protect said weapons, such a design also often heavily limits their firing arc.
Trivia[]
- Lifting an enemy off the ground using this or it's smaller counterpart will award the player with the "Flipping Brilliant!" achievement.
- It is one of the few weapons that cannot deal damage on it's own.
- The description is a reference to programming limitations preventing it from being used like a Wheel Loader's Scoop.
- Like blocks with a dynamic cell count, it does not always take up 92 cells, though the reserved space for the block is technically counted.
