C&C 4 Unit Profile - GDI Refractor

Recommended Posts

A new Command & Conquer 4 unit profile has been posted on the Official C&C Site. Today we take a look at one of GDI's newest weapons for the battlefield, the GDI Refractor. As always this profile features a short in game video, concept art and extra information. Here is a sample....

The Refractor’s iconic reflective shield is a marvel of engineering. It is constructed with several layers of material, each serving a different defensive application. The outermost layer is a crystal-lattice sustained by an electromagnetic field. Solid weapons may pass through the crystal layer, which is then immediately reconstructed by the energy field, as though a pebble had just passed through water. This allows the reflective portion of the shield to remain effective even after repeated projectile impacts. Next is a honey-comb alloy heavy armor built to resist kinetic force and heat-based weaponry. Most conventional weapons simply bounce off this ultra-hard layer of armor. The final layer in the shield plate is an 18-inch thick metal composite which absorbs any remaining incoming fire. This layer is extremely heavy, so the Refractor is built upon a Mammoth chassis to support the weight.

Indeed. I am not about to lower my standards to their level. Ion Cannons are not new to the Tiberium universe, and they don't look like that, stick with the ion canon (hee hee, little pun there).

So how can you actually attack this unit? And the AI is stupid if (as) it tries to attack this unit :P

Read the forum rules. I suggest you start a thread if you want to discuss it.
