Now that you've seen the two Chinese Recycler variants, we also want to show you the modifications that stolen Chinese tech can apply to other GLA units:
Salvaging a crate from a Chinese Tier 1 vehicle allows you to add a napalm component to the following units:
First, we have the Bomb Truck which receives a pretty big napalm payload capable of creating a firestorm upon detonation.
Note that it does -not- override its previous payload and can be combined with either a biological or high-explosive bomb.
Second is the Demo Truck which does not create a firestorm on impact but still a sizable incendiary blast when it goes off.
Last but certainly not least in this category, the Terrorist and the Demo Trap.
The Demo Traps will also create a firestorm on detonation like the Bomb Truck whereas Terrorists, like the Demo Truck, simply get a nice additional napalm fire explosion added to their standard effect.
Salvaging a crate from a Chinese Tier 2 vehicle allows you to install jury rigged nuclear engines on the following vehicles:
First, the Technical, which gains a massive speed increase from their new nuclear engines which will however also make them create a minor explosion and radiation field on destruction.
For some added comedic value we also made them do fancy wheelies whenever they accelerate with their new engines.
Second is the Quad Cannon which can also get nuclear engines to boost its speed but just as the Technicals, it will create a minor explosion and radiation field when destroyed.
As always, we would like to remind all of you out there that there will be another stream on this Sunday:
Countdown until the stream startsAlso, in case you missed last week's stream, you can check it out on our Youtube channel

Isn't a Technical with Nuclear engines a bit.. overkill? Maybe it should get some uranium bullets too just to up the ante.

Wow, great job guys !
But are these upgrades purchased from the Recycler Truck, or on each unit ?

Yes you can indeed make nuclear firestorms its like an ingredient to your bombtruck cocktail

Once the recycler has obtiained them all units will get these upgrades unlocked in the same way the recycler does.

Alright guys, first i had some doubts about the recycler.
But this is straight away amazing. So much cool stuff.
Thank you very much, I wonder how much time it took to create all those models again, with napalm/nuclear stuff!
The recycler mechanic seems to be way bigger then I/we thought!

They will likely die because of radiation poisoning after the battle if they don't get killed by something else but i don't think they would be overly concerned with such things

So Hunter does that mean ,indirectly, that a Bomb truck could have High Explosive, Bio Bomb, Fire Storm explosion? (All three combined)
The_Hunter
29 Nov 2014, 0:47
Bio and HE Bombs are actualy mutualy exclusive to each other its basicly an unintented exploit that you can currently get both due to lag in multiplayer.

But you could get nuke, bio/HE and napalm when picking up a nuclear warhead?

A nuke pickup overrides anything i was previously carrying with exception for the napalm.
Holy s***
That is so insane with nuclear engines.

Did GLA with recycler will be powerful and OP?
Can recycler use all faction tecnology in the same time
thanks in advance

- Not really, most Recyclers are pretty weak(mostly normal damage) than others. Hell, even armor is like a piece of paper.
- Yes, you can use all stolen faction's tech at same time. But, it might be difficult to collect them.

The teaser picture of the stream seems like the USA version of the recycler.
With little flying GLA Drones
.
I donn't know, I'm not really feeling the nuclear technicals.. I just have to w8 and see them.
Drones for GLA, that looks interesting

Yeah, they're being implemented but aren't in just yet. The Recycler itself as a vehicle with its various upgrades is finished though.

As for Recycler with drones...It seems that all variants from that concept art from year ago made it into the game...

Seriously though, maybe you should consider giving a weapon upgrade too to go along with it. I'm imagining this kind of conversation:
QUOTE
Recycler Truck guy: Let's see here.. what are we going to do about the depleted fuel cells
Technical Driver: Why not dump it in the ammo cache
Recycler Truck Guy: Well that isn't very sa..
Technical Driver: Yeah, just put it in the ammo cache. That way we can play with radioactive bullets!
Recycler Truck Guy: Fine. You will probably die anyway
Technical Driver: What?
Recycler Truck Guy: Nothing.
As a side effect, all the bullets are coated with radioactive waste.

29 Nov 2014, 11:34
Fantastic!! you are making interestying even the faction I favour the least.
Some questions:
-Technical is already fast, with the nuclear engine does it become as fast as a bike? Does it jump up and down the cliffs like bikes?
-With the nuclear speed increase does the quad cannon go a s fast as a technical before upgrade? (that would be almost comical, quad cannon would become like AA jets!!)
-If bio-bomb load is chosen in bomb truck and upgraded with firestorm effect, does the fire damages also the enduring scrap left by the biobomb truck?
thanks as ever

Why would a technical jump off a cliff knowing they use a NUCLEAR engine on FRONT of the vehicle ???
Its not like they're elastic bumpers, or are they ??

Why wouldn't they? It's the GLA we're talking about here.
Perhaps all that superglue and screws they used to put that thing together actually works.

When we were told that the new scrap system was something "bigger" I never thought it was something "so much bigger"; really is a very cool and interesting mechanics that simply revolutionized the GLA, making faction highly customizable; so before you saw only Scorpions, Quads, Buggies and Grads in games, now you will be able to see several different types of vehicles already that the same Quad for example can receive several different types of upgrades - something very appreciable.
The Technicals with nuclear engines were wonderful, is a dream for the GLA and a nightmare for his opponents, and is a very funny joke
; I'm eager to see these animations in the game.

Rule of thumb: upgrades of any faction not the GLA do not apply to anything recycler-related.

Holy crap, napalm explosives? And nuclear engine technicals and quad cannons? Is this Ulater's dream come true?
The GLA, turning a faction's assets against it since the Great War on Terror (see: Jarmen Kell pre-IED accident).
This does make the GLA seem OP, BUT:
1. The Recycler truck's armor is like paper, although they are still good support units [be it close combat (hit and run, maybe, especially with ECA AT gun) or artillery (does Tremor AGAS Jr. ring a bell?)].
2. The scrap is hard to get.

A question for the MARS:
Some lore behind the Chinese nuclear engines? These engines seem to work on "V" through a gas system triggered by nuclear boiling of an liquid (probably water), this logic is correct?

Isn't that the case for most of Generals and Zero Hour, anyways.
Considering we made sense out of most everything happening in Gens and ZH, not really. On the other hand, the entire Recycler logic is the GLA using Rule of Cool.

The GLA in general is weird. A terrorist faction, who somehow became a world power, crossing over into Blue and Orange Morality and Kick the Dog moments on a whim. They also have the means to maintain a nuclear, chemical, and chem-nuclear arsenal, and also they turn scrap metal into a unit that can kill several modern tanks. And they recycle parts off the battlefield to create a variety of weird technologies, even if the scrap parts did not even RELATE to what is being built. Doubly so if those parts did not come from a general who even HAS the technology.
