What is a Specimen Capture Weapon?
The MI SCW system is an adaptation of Civilian Defense non-lethal technology. Its presence on the battlefield is driven by the growing need for more arachnid specimens. Unlike normal weapons, the SCW fires an energy snare that traps the target arachnid in a power sphere. This snare has a health bar that represents the amount of damage it can sustain before the imprisoned arachnid frees itself. 5.
