Blue Tiberium core

The Blue Tiberium Core is a Command and Conquer 4 item exclusive to the Offense Class (It will not appear for Defense and Support, even if they have Offense Units) and is occasionally dropped by units, given via Core Cranes, uprooted by the Nod Aftershock or two Blue Crates are delivered in the middle of the GDI Supply Drop support power.

Purpose

Blue Tiberium Cores upgrade offensive units with unique bonuses and abilities, and almost always increase damage. On non-offense units, or on units already upgraded with a blue core, they provide a veterancy bonus as usual. Units can be distinguished as having been upgraded due to the visual difference it makes, often another weapon or a green item on the rear of the unit.
