"Heavy combat mechanoids that glide on dozens of tiny legs. Their heavy armor and firepower makes them very effective against bunched-up static defenders. They are somewhat vulnerable to mobile hit-and-run tactics."

— In-game description

Biology

Centipedes consist entirely of mechanical parts, and are mostly composed of very large 'rings' that make their appearance similar to that of a real-life centipede. Despite being somewhat sluggish (in movement and appearance), they are immensely durable and can absorb a significant amount of fire before they are killed or even disabled.

Centipedes have six body rings, several sensors for hearing, sight, and smell, and an artificial brain that drives them. Interestingly enough, they lack any sort of communication parts and always spawn with their communication indicated as 'None', or no ability to. The only other external body part a centipede has other than its rings is its head, making it very difficult to actually kill a centipede.

Diet

Centipedes are machines, and machines don't need to eat - but they do need some source of power.

Currently, it is unknown what power source or other source of energy the Centipede uses.

Combat

Centipedes are generally equipped with either a Minigun, Inferno Cannon, or Heavy Charge Blaster on semi-rare occasions, but are also able to engage in melee combat with colonists.

Melee Attacks Damage Amount

Their melee attack is the second-highest damaging attack in the game, surpassed only by the EMP Grenade.

Body Parts (Summary)

Centipedes are actually very simplistic and robust in design, with not that many parts overall. Their obvious weakness is that they're able to be severed in two, rapidly reducing their ability to move (which may eventually incapacitate them).

  • Note: Centipedes have a health scale of 2.0 - meaning their parts have twice the health of body parts listed in the files.

  1. Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It is dependant on which group the body part is part of, so, for example, you can't shoot someone in the toe and hit them in the brain.
