Generator is a blue, compact atmospheric water generator. Several pipes are attached between the cylindrical water tank and the filtration system box outfitted with black wheels, blue fenders, red valve levers, and a black drain pipe with a thin stand.
Generator can be unlocked at player level 7, and costs 2,000 coins.
Overview
Generator is a Support Item. It's a water purifier that can be dropped on almost any spot of the battlefield, and has all resistances typical for units of that class. Once it's placed, the Generator acts as an obstacle – if it stands in an enemy's way, they will attempt to destroy it. Once it gets destroyed, it will explode in a small radius, and create a fire pool.
Every 15 seconds a placed Generator will spawn a pack with 25 courage. Under the effects of heatwave the amount of courage is lowered to 15 per pack. Every time a generator creates water, it takes 70 damage. If a generator's health drops to zero because of self-damage it won't explode and will simply fall apart.
Gameplay
Generator is best used on missions where constant spam of units is important. In these missions, it is recommended that all Generators are deployed close to the bus to keep them safe since they have a long preparation time of 60 seconds.
On the opposite note, Generators can instead be deployed to the farthest end of the battlefield to be used as a shield to protect certain units. Thanks to its large health pool, Generator can take several hits from enemies and even a few of Charged Zombie's charge attack. Additionally, the explosion and fire pool can damage or take down groups of enemies after being destroyed, similarly to Red Barrel. However, other rage units, such as Red Barrel itself, should be used alongside with this strategy since Generators have a long preparation time and cost quite a bit of rage, not to mention as durable as it is, barrels remain far superior for their value.
Welder is capable of repairing the damage done to Generator. Thanks to his repair perk, he can heal it up to 30% of its current base health. Since Generator's base health, is already high to begin with, the healing done to Generator at any level will be substantial, allowing it to keep producing more courage packs and take several more hits. Additionally with his ability, Welder can provide a shield to Generator, protecting it from harm.
