Description	Mechanical walker
Updated	WorldsOne

The Minotaur is a mechanical walker exocraft.

Minotaur[ | ]

Minotaur is a mechanical walker exocraft containing 28 slots that can be used to safely explore all planets, performing mining, combat, and exploration tasks.

It has an independent jetpack, and is with the pre-installed Environment Control Unit - it is immune to all planetary hazards. The Minotaur's standard mining laser can be upgraded to a Minotaur Bore if desired, enabling the alteration of terrain on planets similar to the function of a Multi-tool's Terrain Manipulator. It can also shoot plasma projectiles in combat.

The Minotaur is also amphibious, allowing underwater navigation, combat and mining.

It can be summoned to any land surface or ocean on the planet or at a Minotaur Geobay. Once the Minotaur AI Pilot is installed, it will auto-summon to the player's location if it was summoned to the planet.

Note: Upgrade modules should be added adjacent to the core system where possible, to a maximum of three upgrades in a single exocraft. This is best achieved by arrangements in a 2x2 box, or as a slightly lower cumulative gain as a line of 3 vertically or horizontally adjacent to the core system.

Other Minotaur Upgrades[ | ]

The following upgrades could be earned by completing milestones in Expedition 14: Liquidators. Once earned during the expedition, they could be claimed at the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.

System	Technology/Upgrade	Effect
	Liquidator Left Arm	Fires stun projectiles

Additional information[ | ]

With Minotaur AI Pilot installed, a Minotaur will engage enemies including predators and Sentinels in combat, though if it takes too much damage, the tech will be destroyed and require repairs; if still in combat, enemies will begin to ignore the Minotaur unless manual control is assumed.
