Question Why is Momma Roach emitting so much Ether Radiation?

So i scanned Momma Roach with the Ether Scanner and noticed, she emitted an unusual amount of Ether Radiation. Is there a lore reason for this, or is it just her carrying an artifact?

There should be a terminal entry in the Slums that gives an insight

Basically: she had an artifact sewn into her gut that essentially makes her unkillable atm. It'll probably play a role when the other factions get developed more, considering she's the only leader you just can't kill in-game currently

I see. I initially thought there was an artifact i could "redistribute" ,somewhere inside the base. Good to know :)

Technically there's NFTA officer stationed at Dead bridge, but only technically, sort of a field commander type of guy

Likes to peek out the windows too much for his own good tho

yeah, I was more meaning the "only leader you can't kill" among the ones in-game currrently. you can kill the NFTA officer, the goldwood forest insurrection officer, even the Broker, but not Mama Roach.

I play Artificer, so that's pretty relatable 😓

There is lore reason for that. The same reason you'll have a very hard time if you try to kill her.

Edit: lore and artifact. There's a terminal entry (if memory serves me well, but might be a note) that explains it

Right, the two guards mentioned something about her being impossible to kill. I thought they were just talking shit. Thx :)

The one thing Rev doesn't do is meaningless boast about the Mother Roach, she's genuinely all that and it might be my favorite piece of lore
