Steeltoe
Repurposing mining equipment for destruction, the Steeltoe is a versatile bot equipped with a Shotgun that can dispense both vicious buckshot and a lethal resonance to any bot impeding on it's presence.
SHOTGUN BLAST: Mining equipment dubiously repurposed for buckshot, it has a variety of enhancements to burn, shatter, or stack its pellets for destructive purpose.
RESONANCE HAMMER: A hefty sound blast at melee range that deflects bullets and knocks back enemies.
Firing your shotgun during a tight, 3 frame window at the end of the Resonance Hammer's animation will preform a Nail Driver, heavily tightening the spread, increasing the speed, and increasing the damage. Missing this window will instead perform a Diffraction Shot, enhancing the damage but spreading your shots out even further than before. Every pellet of a boosted shot, Nail Driver or Diffraction Shot, will deal 14.85 damage (65% increase).

Elites
Enemy Steeltoes can be spawned with one or more upgrades, with their skin being determined by the upgrade. These Elites will award extra fitness points when defeated, and will retain their upgrade when swapped into(usually stacking its effect with upgrades already possessed). In the case that an Elite is spawned with multiple of these upgrades, the skin closer to the top of the table will take priority.

Note: As of version 0.4.2, enemy Elites can spawn with upgrades other than the three noted in the table. These "stealth" Elites will possess the default skin, and are not intended to spawn normally (i.e. the "Reload Coroutine" Steeltoes in Cargo Dock).
