Constructionist (Boss)

Constructionist is a boss that was added on December 15, 2019.

Design
Constructionist has a beige square base with a turret on top. It also has a slightly modified factory spawner in front.

Technical
Constructionist is essentially a heavily buffed factory: with the addition of auto-turret. Although auto-turret is not the main power of the boss, it can still kill slow-reload players fast.

Minions are essentially a buffed factory minions: more health, more damage, more size. Their bullet speed makes it hard to escape them, they have high FoV. The AI almost flawlessly controls the minions against a single player, which proves the combat to be problematic. Minions can only be focused on one player at a time.

Spawning
Spawns by a randomizer.

Countering
Minions are a huge problem. They have a lot of health and a somewhat high speed. There a 6 minion in total. Constructionist respawns them fairly quickly, so it is very unlikely you will defeat it in solo. The main thing you can do is to flee. In order to do so, you must continuously fire at minions and move in a left-right-left-right pattern to minimize the damage minions can deal to you.

If however, one player will distract minions, the turret will not be a problem: just use high penetration tanks or tanks with high speed. Do note, however, that the Constructionist has a lot of health, and if the target drones locked at may be gone within FoV, minions will get to you within 3-5 seconds.

Fighting in groups can leave the Constructionist defenseless, and easily eliminate it. VPN just cannot penetrate the minions and deal steady damage by itself. You will have to wait until the Constructionist will be distracted, and hope you will kill it before minions will be back.

Trivia

 * On 23 April 2021, a branch fix accidentally caused Constructionist to upgrade from Harvester instead of the playable tank.
