Harvester  (40/51)

 

 

Big, red robots, which resembles spiders. In my opinion, Harvesters have the most interesting concept from all enemies from the game. They appear in few levels, but direct fight will be possible only if you drive a vehicle (tank or mech). Extremely resilient (5000 health points) and very dangerous. Harvesters attack mainly with machine gun. From time to time, they’ll fire rockets in your direction too.

Fighting with Harvester depends on vehicle, which you’re driving. Hovertank has big firepower – few shots from cannon should be enough to defeat Harvester. Piloting the mech means you must destroy Harvester’s rockets with machine gun and attack enemy in spare time with better weapons.

when you are piloting the mech you can switch to rockets en shoot in burst of 5 rockets and they are with homing option. So the easiest way to destroy the harvester is to shoot his legs with rockets. once two legs are destroyed, the harvester falls on the ground and destroyed. Probably that way he can be captured by humans and be repaired ( oh my fantasy....)

well, swat gerbil, in response to your question, they capture living beings(i.e you) and take them to the strogg labs to be converted(i.e turned into a strogg).

These are the most impressive enemy in the game, they look awesome. But not hard keep blasting them when they shoot the heat seeking homing rockets to blast them so they are impossible to hurt you. These could be strogg due to the high pitch screams what you think?

Predictably enough, I've just seen king's comment. Off to try that.

Hold on a minute, I've just tried about nine times to kill one of these bleeding things and each and evey time I've been splatted. The closest I've been is to knock off one machine gun and then I got speared by a leg. I'm gonna go and find a cheat in a mo.... GRRRRRRR. Game sequence at the start of Nexus Hib Tunnels seciton doesn't help much either; I hate these big time.

In the mech, aim for the lower legs/feet cos you can shoot them off with rockets and if you do it twice they fall over!!!!
