Units Not Available in the Campaign Games:
Water Contaminators (Imperium and Freedom Guard)
The most expensive unit in the game, Water Contaminators can permanently destroy freshwater springs. "If I can't have it, you can't either."
Vulnerabilities
Water Contaminators are slow, slow, slow. Seeing a Raider or a Guardian race by one of these guys will quickly remind you of the tortoise and the hare. Water Contaminators also have no weapons, so they can be taken out pretty quickly if they are left unescorted.
How to get the Most out of Water Contaminators
Water Contaminators are so slow and ponderous, it's difficult to imagine a situation where a squadron of Tachion Tanks or Triple Rail Hover Tanks wouldn't be more successful at attacking an enemy watering hole. After all, why destroy a perfectly good freshwater spring when you could instead clear out the area and use the spring yourself? Water Contaminators can be useful if you think you can get to an enemy freshwater spring but don't think you're capable of holding the area long enough to establish your own Water Launch Pad and supporting buildings. Sneaking a Water Contaminator into an enemy base can therefore be worthwhile, especially if you use a Temporal Portal to get the Water Contaminator (or two) on the spot safely.
