BATTLE FAN
If you watched the trailer for the Commerce Update last week, you probably noticed the “booster” on the back of the Walkers. Say hello to the Battle Fan: this can act as a gas disperser by blowing the air out by default, but it can do much more with a little torque added. It can Superblow by charging up with air and releasing a strong gust that pushes the Walker it's on, deflects projectiles like cluster bombs, and sends unfortunate nomads that were too close flying. Adding some lava while Superblowing, however, will ignite everything on its path, unleashing a fiery hell. Last but not least, the Battle Fan can perform a Supersuck that sucks in all the gases in its vicinity and stores them in a container that allows to blow those gases out with a Superblow.
