REAVER The mighty flying Reaver is a serious threat and a distressingly common sight on the battlefield. Reavers strafe ground positions from the air, blasting them with rockets from a distance. However, Reavers now often land on the ground and approach, firing rockets while their riders suppress you with shots from their elevated perch. This is bad enough, but it gets worse. If a Reaver gets close enough to you, it attempts to stab you with its talons—and it can do this over low cover! Whenever Reavers are around, give them your full attention, and unload with the strongest weaponry you have. You can use Grenades against them on the ground—don't hold back! You can kill their riders, but it's usually not worth the time. Take down the Reaver, and the threat is removed completely. The Reaver is a large, multi-legged creature that can fly. These beats of burden are the Locust Horde's principal battlefield conveyance. They can carry a pair of Locust Horde units. All Reavers have a pair of Troikas mounted on their backs. The rear itself is not a threat, it's two riders pose a significant risk to Marcus' life. Taking cover from the barrage of gunfire and, possibly, Torque Bow arrows is crucial when you spot a Reaver. Although one can kill its passengers rather than the Reaver itself, it's easier to aim for the larger target. Using the Lancer or a Troika, unload into the Reaver's side, just below the saddle, to shoot it down. The Torque Bow can also down a Reaver. A well-aimed arrow can kill a Reaver (and its riders) with a single shot! VITALS WEAPONRY Rockets HEALTH 1200—In Air 5700—On Ground 1000—Driver COVER Reavers don't use cover, but they do nullify cover in a very dangerous way. Not only can their pilots fire at you from their greater elevation, but the Reaver itself is a dangerous weapon against you in cover. No matter where you are, if a Reaver starts getting close to you, back off! |
