Fanatics

Fanatics are members of the Brotherhood most devoted to its cause, and they are ready to lay down their life to allow Nod to succeed. They perform their last rituals in the Hand of Nod before moving off to die. In forward battlefield bases, an Operations Center is required for the training of Fanatics.

They are equipped with Tiberium-based explosive charges mounted to their chests. Upon reaching their targets, they detonate them, obliterating themselves and causing grievous damage to the target. However, if they are killed before they make contact, they die harmlessly. It should be noted that such is their irrepressible desire to end their own lives in honour of Kane that Fanatics never show any fear in the face of enemy fire, no matter how intense.

Fanatics can receive a Tiberium infusion to improve their battlefield durability and allow them to reach targets faster. It should be noted that use of flame weapons and explosives against Fanatics can cause their highly volatile charges to detonate.
