Bombardier

Description

Siege-class ARC machines that fire mortar rounds in devastating barrages. Bombardiers are tall, heavy units that rain explosives from a distance, making them extremely dangerous in open areas. Their yellow leg joints and rear canister are the key weak points that experienced players target.

Behavior

Bombardiers position themselves at medium to long range and launch arcing mortar rounds at player positions. The incoming rounds are telegraphed by red impact indicators on the ground. They fire in volleys of 3-5 rounds before repositioning. They are slow-moving but their area denial capability forces players out of cover and into other threats.

• 1Watch for red impact indicators on the ground. Move immediately when you see them, the mortar rounds are extremely damaging.
• 2Circle around to shoot the yellow canister on its back for triple damage. This is much more efficient than shooting its armored front.
• 3The yellow leg joints are also vulnerable. Damaging them can slow the Bombardier and reduce its ability to reposition.
• 4Close the distance if possible. Bombardiers are less effective at very close range where their mortar arc cannot track properly.
