Lab Rat
Lab Rat is a neutral creature found in the Facilities. They begin to appear in the facility (most notably the Office Sector) as the player progress.
Charged with the noble but corrupting task of assessing the anomalies and aberrations seized by their organization from its enemies, Inquisitors are one of the most essential yet mistrusted elements of the Order's ancient apparatus. -Compendium
Behavior
The Lab Rat can be seen in various parts in the facility, observing or searching for something. In contrast to other Order soldiers, the Lab Rat will flee rather engage combat but sometimes will attempt to fight back in a pinch.
Like other Order soldiers the Lab Rat will attack out of self-defense against non-Order enemies.
Combat
Unlike most enemies the Lab Rat will attempt to flee when spotting the player, therefore it is best to sneak up to it from behind and use a powerful weapon to kill him. The Lab Rat will occasionally attempt to fight back with a single, powerful swipe attack which will inflict heavy knock-back. Note that the Lab Rat emits radiation in a small radius around it so protection from radiation when fighting up close should be considered.
While fleeing, the player can track its location by observing the radiation particles and trail of items left behind.
Drops
When fleeing, Lab Rats will drop Tech Scrap, Metal Scrap, Glass Scrap, or Cloth Scrap behind them. They also drop some of these items on death.

A Rat Pack is dropped when the Lab Rat is killed by a blunt weapon while stunned with the Net Launcher.
- Blunt weapons with effects can be used.(i.e. Thermal Mallet) However, the chances of succeeding are lower since the Lab Rat will likely die from the effect instead of blunt damage.
