C.A.T.s

[Garaw]

On the mission where you retrieve a CAT...does it come out of the crate marked with the apothecary symbol? Because I remember it rolling out and greeting me once, but now that I've restarted the mission several times it no longer does.

I'm pretty sure it comes by default on your sergeant of the first Terminator squad.

I would swear that at one point, without me doing anything specific, it deployed...Looked like a little tracked platform with arms or something.

Is that what the unexplained icon that looks kind of like a tower means? On the terminator that's auto-deployed during the briefing?

I believe, though it may have done some dirty tech contrivences and fell of the Terminator, or something of the like.

In the immortal words of Brother Leon:

(Or something of the like)

Depends on the mission. The ones which say "retrieve the C.A.T." as part of the Mission objectives will have the C.A.T. start randomly somewhere on the map, while the ones that only say "Return the C.A.T. to the Sanctuary" (or similar) will start with it on one of your Terminators chosen at random.

Whenever the C.A.T. is on the field for any reason, then it will look like that little robot with a couple of manipulator arms and treads. When the C.A.T. is in possession of a Terminator, then there will be that cone-shaped icon over the Terminator's head.

Oh I just posted about this on a different thread! I have seen the CAT. Why couldn't I pick it up though? No commands or anything appeared. Or does it just follow me? Sadly I got killed after I found it last time.

It follows you, and then it SHOULD go into your inventory automatically.

On the 3rd blood raiders mission, rescue, you auto deployed seargant starts with the CAT even thought the mission says you need to find it and then leave with it. Took me a few restarts to realize this. Durr.
