Bloatick Tunnels are large openings that will self-destruct after a period of time, during which Bloaticks will constantly emerge from the Tunnel. They are created through the Bloatick Trap support power available to Scorpion Cell.
After being created, the Bloatick Tunnel can spawn a maximum of 8 Bloaticks before self-destructing. There is no way to prolong the Tunnel's lifespan, as it cannot be repaired at all, even by Engineers and the Maintenance support power. It is also unaffected by Force Shield and Invulnerability.
