Malfunctioned Enforcer Taming Details
Malfunctioned Enforcer is a knockout tame. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred).
Alternative foods: Species-appropriate food.
Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Malfunctioned Enforcer on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out
Malfunctioned Enforcer is a knockout tame. Use a Crossbow, Longneck Rifle with Tranq Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts. Aim for the head for bonus torpor and keep distance to avoid aggro damage.
4. Feed the right food
Place Kibble (preferred) in its inventory (alternatives: Species-appropriate food). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.
5. Maintain torpor
Watch the torpor bar. Feed Narcoberries or Narcotics to prevent it from waking up before the tame completes.

Once tamed, Malfunctioned Enforcer will follow your commands. It cannot be ridden.

Malfunctioned Enforcer — Background & Lore
The Malfunctioned Enforcer is a broken version of the 
Enforcer, the Tek robot of Extinction and Genesis: Part 2. Unlike the normal Enforcer, which is crafted from a blueprint, this one cannot be tamed or obtained.
Where to find it
It appears only in the LifeSupport mission on Genesis: Part 2.
How to get one
There is no way to own a Malfunctioned Enforcer. To get a working Enforcer, kill roaming Enforcers on Extinction or Genesis: Part 2 for their blueprints and craft one at a 
City Terminal or 
Tek Replicator. Higher-level kills give better blueprints.
