The Irradiation Beta is a support power used by Russia and Latin Confederation from a Nuclear Converter that does as its name suggests by temporarily irradiating friendly Tesla/Shock Troopers, Desolators, and vehicles with constant nuclear radiation that damages nearby enemies while the radiation field lasts. Irradiation also works on cyborgs (including Volkov and Chitzkoi), Clairvoyants and Duplicants.

China have access to the longer-lasting Irradiation Gamma instead.

AI behavior

The AI will cast Irradiation Beta on specific task forces that will be prepared and will regroup near the enemy base when Irradiation Beta is 70% ready, or roughly 1:30 minutes before it is ready.

Medium/Hard

The following task forces will target production structures before other structures due to their effectiveness versus these targets:

• 3x Borillos

The AI will deploy Invulnerability as well.

The following task forces will target anything rather than a specific target:

• 4x Terror Drones (hold fire mode)
  • The Terror Drones will switch to their default mode before attacking
  • The AI will deploy Invulnerability as well

Hard

The following task forces, comprising of monster tanks, will follow the same procedure, but they will target anything rather than a specific target. Only Hard AI will send out these strike forces:

• 4x Tesla Cruisers
  • In addition to Invulnerability and Irradiation Beta, Overcharge will also be applied
• 4x Catastrophe Tanks

The AI will deploy Invulnerability as well.

Appearances

“	Irradiation ² can create a deadly field around your units and the Topol-Ms temporarily.	”

Act One

• Irradiation Beta debuts in Road to Nowhere as usable support power. In this mission as well as in Trophy Hunter, Noise Severe and Heartwork, Irradiation Beta can be used freely without a Nuclear Converter.
• Throughout Act One, Irradiation Beta is also used by China in addition to Russia and the Latin Confederation in place of Irradiation Gamma. By the time of Act Two, China upgraded their Irradiation Beta into Gamma.

Special Ops

• In the first phase of Time Capsule, Irradiation Beta is one of many one-time support powers that can be found in crates scattered around the battlefield. The Irradiation Beta crate can be found near the area where a large amount of Bloaticks are caged. In the second phase, it will be permanently available after Yunru reaches Helibunker. Its cooldown is decreased to 12 seconds.

Cooperative

• Chronologically, Irradiation Beta is unlocked in Thunder God.
