GDI and Nod now make liberal use of nanotechnology, and have not only equipped engineers with it, but also Crawlers, repair craft and mobile repair stations. They were also equipped to detect stealth and burrowed units. Mobility was improved to allow the traversing of cliffs. Both sides' engineers have been issued with a low damage, fast firing area of effect weapon especially effective at clearing minefields.
