EOD Bot



The EOD Bot ( E xplosive O rdnance D isposal) is a vehicle appearing in Battlefield 3. It is a deployable Engineer gadget that can arm or disarm M-COM stations, disarm explosives, and is equipped with a repair torch that can repair vehicles and kill enemies. Engineers unlock the EOD Bot after earning 11000 kit XP. Its small size and decent speed allows it to travel the battlefield with relative ease, but its loud motor can draw unwanted attention. The EOD controls are sensitive, making the EOD somewhat difficult to control until you master it

Battlefield 3
The EOD Bot used in BF3 is based on the Foster-Miller Mk II Talon. It is operated by a handheld control unit that relays video through a day-vision scope. As one of the fastest EOD robot models available, it is capable of outrunning a sprinting soldier. It occupies the Gadget 2 slot, shared with the Repair Tool and M15 Anti-tank Mine. A special minimap icon shows the location of friendly EOD Bots.

Engineers can deploy the EOD Bot to remotely repair friendly vehicles, arm and disarm M-COM stations, neutralize enemy explosives, or to simply observe a location. Like the Repair Tool, the EOD Bot can also inflict damage on infantry and vehicles. Benefits from its small size are offset by its loud motor, limited health, and obstacles that may cause it to become stuck or trapped.

The EOD Bot can easily be destroyed by one shot from either a SMAW or an RPG-7V2 rocket, and takes damage from small arms.

Currently, the EOD bot is able to survive long-distance drops.
