The Corroder is another bizarre vehicle developed by the Chaos Cell and their mutant forces. Taking inspiration from ancient siege weapons notably the ballista and Scorpions of Ancient and Medieval warfare. The Corroder fires large dissolver loaded missile bolts that have a delayed detonation fuse that explodes violently coating enemy forces in the blast radius with a corrosive chemical bath that weakens the armor of enemies. In a bizarre use in combat the Chaos Cell can also use the missiles as flying battering rams to clear out occupied enemy structures from a distance. If a Corroder gets enough experience to be promoted they are given access to Tiberium-Loaded missiles which instead of killing infantry can mutate them into visceroids. Much like the Biker of the Chaos Cell should their vehicle be destroyed a Brute will escape from the wreckage retaining all their earned experience as well.
