Varp

Varp is a massive Testbed Sentry that controls up to four large drones.

Design
Varp is a strange-looking ten-sided polygon with a concavity in the back. Within that cavity there is a very large drone spawner that produces up to four large drones, about twice the size of Overload's drones.

Technical
The Varp has an immense amount of health and is much larger than any other sentry, Testbed or otherwise. It is slightly smaller than a Mothership or Rangership. The Varp moves extremely slowly, as do its drones. It also has slow reload speed, making it a vulnerable target without its drones or teammates.

Spawning
The Varp does not spawn naturally or spawn at all in regular game; it can only be accessed via Testbed Sentries.

Strategy
Note: This information is limited as Varp is only accessible to normal players during developer events.

Up To Date
The Varp is slow, and has slow reload to accompany that. The best thing to do when using the Varp is to find a safe place without any Bosses or tanks, and the upgrade to the Varp. Make sure where you are will be safe for some time, as the Varp has slow reload and needs all of its drones to have even a little defense. Since you're so slow, don't try trekking across the map and chasing people. Instead, lie in wait and attack when someone comes.

Outdated
Basically the same as the Up to Date version, except the old Varp was less vulnerable due to having 100 drones.

Against the Varp
Varp is a very large entity, so using tanks with wide spread as well as high damage is smart. The drones are slow, but do not ignore them; just a single drone can kill a full-health Spike. Try to destroy the drones; if you can destroy them fast enough, the Varp will have nothing to defend itself with. Plus, considering how slow The Varp's reload is, destroying its drones will leave it 100% vulnerable. However, whatever you do, always attack The Varp with long ranged weapons (which shouldn't be too hard, considering this is a tank game)

Trivia



 * The only reason The Varp is known to exist due to Developer Events.
 * The Varp will probably not even been added ingame due to it's massive strength.
 * At some time in Developer Events, The Varp could make up to 100 drones at once (it's been counted!)
 * At this case, The Varp would be strong enough to be considered a Developer-Super-Boss.
 * And it may very well still be a Developer-Super-Boss, considering it's never been added ingame.
 * The Varp is the only thing in the game with such a shape. No other Crashers are shaped like the Varp.
 * As a matter of fact, The Varp's own drones are Triangle shaped instead of shaped like it. This is most likely due to how advanced The Varp's shape is.
 * Even if it were added outside of Developer Events, The Varp would need a MAJOR size and health nerf.
 * There was a time when The Varp was somewhere around twice the size of a Mothership or Arena Closer.
 * This was during the time when the Varp was able to spawn 100 drones at once.
 * Since the word "The" isn't very important and can be left out of the name "The Varp," Varp is the only Sentry AND Crasher to have a name with 4 letters.
 * The Varp is also one of the only two Crashers or Sentries to have a name that's a made up word.
 * The only other one is the Vis Destructica crasher.
 * Not like anyone would care, but the Varp is also the only Crasher and Sentry to have a name ending with the letter "p"


 * Save for the Collider Lite, the Varp is the only Pentagon blue Sentry.
 * Varp was the first known TESTBED Sentry.
 * As a matter of fact, it was the first TESTBED sentry, being older than the Swarming Square, Flash Sentry (Gunner), and the AWP-39 Lite
 * Varp holds the most woomy.arras.io records of any Sentry, having the records including Largest Sentry, Only-4-Letter-Name, Only name to end in P, and First TESTBED Sentry
