The tripods in the original book could be destroyed by human weapons, usually artillery, although losses were usually heavier for the humans than the Martians. On the back of each tripod is what looks like a metal fishing basket, which it uses to hold humans that it captures with its tentacles.
The novel never shows tripod legs being used to injure anyone directly, although this is a common occurrence in later works. This steam is capable of breaking glass, and would surely cause a nasty burn, but is not shown in use as a weapon. The body apparently contains a jet, which can fire pressurized steam in order to dissipate black smoke. The Martian tripod also is composed of a segment known as the "body", for which there are few details. The tripod as a whole appears as if it is made from a substance similar to aluminum. Whether "brazen" here refers to the hood being made of a brass-like substance or its attitude is uncertain. The head is described as a "brazen" hood that holds the Martian pilot. Tentacles were also used in the novel to pick up people, throw them at objects, and even rip up small trees, indicating a high degree of strength and precision. The tentacles are also able to hold a Magnetic Acceleration Cannon. The fighting-machines are assembled in the Martian pits by handling-machines before activation and each tripod possesses an unspecified number of tentacles, one of which can retract into the tripod when its primary weapon, the Heat-Ray, is not in use.
However, due to constant delays and focus on other mods, it was never officially released.
The Star Wars Mod was originally intended to be released by itself in 2014.
