“ | R&D came up with a brilliant idea for helping out our Pest Control teams: Project Omen - a vast network of interlinked Modular Extermination Towers, strategically inserted into caves all over Hoxxes. However, much to their regret, the Exterminators turned out to be just as dangerous to our own people as the bugs they were supposed to protect us against! So, the strategy is clear: Project Omen needs to be shut down. However… for security reasons, that can only be done through a… hands-on approach, by our esteemed ground teams. Get in there, find and activate the Exterminator, engage the Maintenance Pads to expose the machine Cooling Tanks, and blow them to bits. Easy. Well, and you have to do so within a limited time window or the device goes into Lockdown. PS: Do note, the Exterminators can be constructed from a variety of different modules, so for your personal safety, do take care to learn the patterns of each. R&D aren’t in the business of making kids’ toys, after all... |
— Official Description |
The OMEN Modular Exterminator is a powerful stationary defense emplacement, sent by Deep Rock Galactic during their initial landing and exploration of Hoxxes. The OMEN Modular Exterminators were to clear out any hostile infestations in mineral-rich deposits, to make mining far safer for the Dwarves once they arrive. However, much like BET-C, things did not go as planned. The OMEN Modular Exterminator has a software glitch, making it so it is just as likely to fire on the Dwarves as it is to fire on the Glyphids. It is now the task of the players to dismantle any OMEN Modular Exterminator they encounter.
The OMEN Modular Exterminator is a Machine Event, so it can only be activated by players who have a Tritilyte Key, a reusable item that is automatically provided when a player promotes their first Dwarf. Like other Machine Events the OMEN Modular Exterminator rewards players with 1000 and 250
. This is awarded when the timer runs out, regardless of how players perform. This reward is effected by Hazard Bonus.
The OMEN itself is the only Machine Event-exclusive boss enemy. Once activated players only have a few minutes to take down the OMEN before it enters into lockdown. Destroying the tower rewards players with a Core Infuser.
• The objective is to destroy all the cooling tanks on the OMEN Modular Exterminator within 3 minutes.
The OMEN Modular Exterminator has several different modules, each having a unique attack. The bottom module will always be the Radial Pulse-Gun, while the top two modules vary. The Omen will always have thee different modules.
Modules are impervious to damage until exposed. To expose a module Players must stand on top of three different maintenance platforms, located around the tower. Players must stand on the platforms for ? seconds, after which the corresponding module will become exposed. Each maintenance platform will expose a different module, which module a platform exposes is indicated on a pop-up display.
Additionally the maintenance platforms are always linked to the same module. When standing on the Core Infuser, facing the OMEN:
Once exposed, to damage a module players must target the modules glowing green Cooling Tanks. A modules total health is determined by the number of tanks it has. Additionally each module has its own health pool, so each must be exposed and destroyed independently to destroy the OMEN Modular Exterminator.
The following table is health per tank. The OMEN Modular Exterminator's total health will depend on the number of cooling tanks it has on each module. It will have 8 or 9 total tanks across its modules, depending on which modules it has.

The Homing Drone only spawns if the OMEN Modular Exterminator has a Drone Replicator module. The module will continuously spawn Homing Drones until all three of its cooling tanks are destroyed, or until the timer runs out and the Tower enters lockdown.
When a Drone spots a player, it will fly towards them and detonate on contact, dealing a large amount of damage.
A Homing Drone can be destroyed mid-flight if enough damage is dealt.
