Background[edit | edit source]
The Brotherhood of Nod must be vigilant in its efforts to encroach on GDI. To this end, it developed the Venom Patrol Craft to effectively keep watch over vast reaches of land. Venoms were equipped with rapid-firing machine guns that were lethal against enemy infantry and quite effective against aircraft and light vehicles as well. These versatile craft could be further enhanced with laser weapons and radar disruption technology.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
 |
Reflector Beam | Nearby Beam Cannons can bounce their beams off of Venoms to hit distant targets. The Venoms must be stationary and the Beam Cannons must be within range of a Venom of which to reflect their beams off. |
 |
Signature generator | Signature Generators allow the Venom to appear to be a large number of Venoms on opposing radars (Ctrl+F). |
Upgrades[edit | edit source]

Each laser burst takes 2.4 seconds to fire, with 0.5 seconds between each burst (Ctrl+S). | Purchasable at any Tech Lab for a cost of $2500 and takes 1:15 to research. |

Supercharged particle beams | This upgrade replaces the minigun with a white-hot particle beam that fires bursts that do 165 (Gun) damage per shot. Each shot takes 0.5 seconds to fire, with 0.1 seconds reload time (Ctrl+S). | Purchasable at Marked of Kane Tech Lab for $3000 and takes 1:00 to research. |
