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 can be manually placed anywhere to produce Courage, and remains as an obstacle and will block most enemies until its destruction.

Generator will produce packs containing 25 courage (15 in heatwave levels) every 15 seconds while taking 70 self-damage. If destroyed by external damage, it explodes and leaves behind a fire pool, otherwise it breaks down without exploding.

Generator is immune to fire, poison, knockback, and explosive damage. It still takes damage from blood-based explosions from the likes of Slob.

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. Each unique instance of him will heal the Generator for 30% of its current base health. Being naturally tanky, the amount of health it regains is always substantial and will considerably extend its lifetime. Additionally, if Welder's Special Ability has been unlocked, he will provide Generators with Shield Points. The number is much smaller due to scaling on 30% of Welder's health, but can still help the Generator to dismiss a powerful attack.
