Fanatics are members of the Brotherhood most devoted to its cause, and they are ready to lay down their life to allow Nod to succeed. They perform their last rituals in the Hand of Nod before moving off to die. In forward battlefield bases, an Operations Center is required for the training of Fanatics, who come in squads of five.
They are equipped with Tiberium-based explosive charges mounted to their chests. Upon reaching their targets, they detonate them, obliterating themselves and causing grievous damage to the target and damage in a wide area. However, if they are killed before they make contact, they die harmlessly - unless targeted with flame or explosive weaponry, which detonates their explosive charges. It should be noted that such is their irrepressible desire to end their own lives in honour of Kane that Fanatics never show any fear in the face of enemy fire, no matter how intense. For such unyielding bravery and dedication to their cause, as well as for many other reasons, fanatics were praised by Nod writers, particularly Confessor Marcion.
Fanatics can receive a Tiberium infusion to improve their battlefield durability, allowing them to move faster and make them immune to Tiberium.
