THERON GUARD The powerful Theron Guard are elite Drone droops, often armed with the lethal Torque Bow. Theron Guards behave much like Drones, but they are tougher and tend to have a nastier weaponry. They are still around harder to deal with than regular Drones. Don't be stingy with your heavy weapon ammo when they're around. Theron Guards are the Locust Horde's ultimate foot soldiers. These large, leather-clad units are superior to Drones and Grenadiers in every way, from intelligence to weaponry. They are masterful Torque Bow users. They utilize cover effectively and work together to suppress and flank nearby COG units. In addition to being much more cunning on the battlefield and possessing a weapon that can blow a COG to pieces from a long distance, Theron Guards are quite resilient against damage. A single head-shot or burst of machine-gun fire won't bring one down. Approaching a Theron Guard in battle is not something to lake lightly or try alone. Use Frag Grenades to draw its attention or flush it out of cover. Allies should provide adequate cover fire for Marcus to move into a flanking position. If they can't, maintain a safe distance and use their Torque Bow or Longshot to put down the foe from afar. But beware their Torque Bow arrows! Stay behind cover and look for the orange, glowing arrowhead—this is the telltale sign that the Theron Guard is about to fire in your direction. Duck for cover immediately. If Marcus gets hit with a Torque Bow arrow, all is not lost. He might survive the resulting explosion if he performs a roll while the arrow detonates. VITALS WEAPONRY Hammerburst, Lancer, Torque Bow, Shotgun HEALTH 1350 COVER Theron use cover very well, and they can be extremely dangerous if they're armed with Torque Bows. Watch for the telltale glow of a charged bow shot, and stand fully behind cover until it discharges. |
