&lt;p&gt;Prototype 1 detonated inside the glove. Prototype 2 detonated at the glove&amp;rsquo;s target, which is an improvement but still not the &lt;em&gt;stated&lt;/em&gt; mission. Prototype 3 delivered a minion from the R&amp;amp;D floor to the cafeteria in 0.8 seconds with only mild concussive damage to the cafeteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="gameplay-implication"&gt;Gameplay implication&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The glove is a &lt;strong&gt;hand-held dispatch&lt;/strong&gt;. You can fire a minion at a room. This is either a bug or a feature depending on how much the player is laughing.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
