Specialist Cogs

Specialist Cogs are special Cogs that will do either do more damage or have more health. They are categorized as either Operations Analysts or Field Specialists. They were first introduced in the v1.1.0 update with the release of the Lawbot Cog redesigns.

Currently, Specialist Cogs exist only as Lawbots. As such, they can be found in the streets, Lawbot Cog Buildings, Lawbot HQ Courtyard, Lawfices, and the Chief Legal Officer boss fight. They can also spawn as Executives. Specialist Cogs only range from Tier 2 to Tier 7.
