Command & Conquer Yuris Revenge will feature thirty new units, structures and tech buildings for the three sides. Below are descriptions for five of the new toys players will find:


VIRUS;
A sniper that fires a needle-dart into a soldier at long range. The soldier immediately begins to balloon up and floats a bit until he is twice his normal size when he explodes in a cloud of noxious gas. The gas will float around and damage nearby infantry.

BRUTE;
A genetically created infantryman. He is very tough and cannot be crushed by enemy tanks. Brute can flip over enemy vehicles to destroy them. Dogs and Terror Drones can’t attack the Brute. Brute is psychic immune.

BOOMER;
A deep-water submarine that can bombard shore targets with heavy missiles. Can also fight subs and destroyers and can sink unescorted Dreadnoughts and Carriers with its torpeedos. The Boomer can also shoot Dolphins and Squid. Squids will not grab a Boomer but can slap it in the same way they attack Tanyas. The Boomer has no special vulnerability but can be fought by Destroyers or Subs while submerged or by Carriers, Dreadnoughts or aircraft when it is surfaced.

YURIS RECRUTMENT CENTRE
A barracks for the Psychic Army, built in the image of Yuri.

SLAVE MINER
A mining vehicle, complete with its own built-in refinery. It automatically deploys near to the closest ore field and 5 little slaves come out to collect the ore with shovels and return it to the refinery. Slaves can be killed but regenerate automatically. If the harvester is killed the slaves give a little cheer and then join whoever killed the Miner. Slaves use their shovels as clubs.
