Boarding Pods are Depth Charge Tube ammunition.

Description

Boarding Pods are a special type of ammunition for the Depth Charge Tube. Before loading, a player may enter the Boarding Pod in a similar fashion to the Clown Crate.

Function

Boarding Pods can be placed in Depth Charge Loaders to be used as ammunition for the linked Depth Charge Tube.

A player may enter the Boarding Pod, and will be ejected out of the submarine along with the Pod once launched. Upon impact, the Boarding Pod will cause large amounts of structure damage and eject the player outside of the Pod, which is then destroyed. The player will not take damage caused by structural spalling but is not protected from a lack of oxygen once the Pod is underwater.

The player cannot enter a Boarding Pod that is already loaded. As the player cannot move after entering the Pod, changing control to another bot or another player is required to load the Pod into the Depth Charge Loader.
