The mecha infestor is a Mecha Swarm replication of the infestor created by Egon Stetmann during the End War. These are able to spawn waves of mecha roaches and mecha ravagers at enemies, as well as recharge an allied unit's health and energy. It can also spawn roach-nites to attack a target building and wear it down.[1]

Game Unit[]

The mecha infestor is a support caster for Stetmann in Co-op Missions. These infestors can spawn waves of roaches and ravagers to take out enemy targets. When within the JUICE configuration of the stetellites, this can lead a massive number of zerg units being sent at enemy positions. The Mecha Infestor can also use UMI-C Charging Protocol on an allied unit to heal them, restore their energy, and increases how quickly abilities cool down by 25%. This is very useful on allied heroes and high priority spellcasters such as ascendants.

Mecha infestors can be "recycled" when they die near a stetellite or Gary, and their parts will respawn into further infestors.[1]
