Thargoid Hunter: Difference between revisions

The Scythe variant is equipped with vessels similar to human [[Limpet Controller|limpets]] in function. The Scythe uses Breach Drones against unshielded human ships with Escape Pods onboard, forcing it to jettison cargo. Unlike [[Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller|Hatch Breaker Limpets]], Breach Drones are also capable of attacking onboard [[Passenger Cabin|Passenger Cabins]], forcing the passengers inside to eject using [[Occupied Escape Pod|escape pods]]. The Scythe will then pick up the pods by using Collection Drones, which behave much like [[Collector Limpet Controller|Collector Limpets]].  

Following their appearance outside Maelstrom systems, it has been confirmed Hunters are capable of generating a field that degrades nearby [[Guardian]] technology (including Guardian-Human hybrid modules), similar to the pulse produced by the Orthrus class Interceptor. This field can quickly render Guardian-hybrid weapons inoperable, making it advisable to equip human AX weapons during encounters.
