Xeno Hunter

Ever since the alien race called the Thargoid became prosperous again in 3303, human civilization has been in desperate need of commanders to help repel it. The stakes of this type of battle are high, requiring special weapons and knowledge of special tactics to fight them. Despite the benefits, the battle with the Thargoids was an exciting experience for the surviving pilots.

This career is a part of them, involves finding Thargoids, cold orbitting and more.

Thargoid Variants

Thargoids come in 5 known classes: Titans, Interceptors, Hunters, Scouts, and ground variants.

Thargoid Scouts

Thargoid Scouts are a smaller variant of the Thargoid interceptor. They come in four variants: Berserker, Inciter, Marauder, and Regenerator. Each with different special abilities. Scouts are immediately hostile and in groups can deal significant damage to an unprepared pilot. Scouts, unlike interceptors, have 77% resistance to human weapons, rather than 99%. This reduced damage resistance makes it possible to kill Scouts with human weapon systems, however specialized AX weapon systems are still far more effective and efficient than their human counterparts.

Thargoid Interceptor

Thargoid Interceptors come in five variants: Orthrus, Cyclops, Basilisk, Medusa and Hydra, in ascending level of difficulty. Each next variant has more hearts and is tougher than the last, requiring more damage destroy them. The Orthrus is a special class of interceptor without hearts. Interceptors use very high damage output weapons, crowd-control style special abilities, and deploy Thargon drone swarms to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
