The scrappers are hostile robots constructed from scrap metal and salvaged technology. Containing partial sentience, these piecemeal machines exist around old Earth ruins such as those found in San Francisco. Usually performing rudimentary salvaging tasks, scrappers have recently displayed hints of a higher level of artificial intelligence directing their actions.
- Scrapper Nanite - Equivalent of Skitterlings. Pretty fast and very easy to kill.
- Scrapper Mongrel - Quicker and more dangerous, like a large dog.
- An excellent tactic to handle nanites and mongrels is an Auto Lobber. Since it bounces and will explode if it contacts an enemy it makes them much easier to hit. Just throw down a bunch while backing away and they will run into the explosive.
- Scrapper Helibot - Capable of flight, they will hover and pound you with ranged attacks. Shoot the small rosy glow at it's base while in flight. It will land and invert to attack, exposing more of the pink crystal. When it is on the ground you should circle him and avoid the laser sight.
- Scrapper Omnivolt - Heavy tank with light weapons and heavy melee attacks. They prefer to close and should be considered very dangerous. Shoot for the glowing "mouth" until the stop and crouch. When they do this they expose their power core! Shoot the glowing cylinder rising from their "back" for a one-shot kill. The Elites have the same weakness but their power-cell extends down instead of standing right up, so you have to be behind them to blow it, and it takes a steady stream of damage on his core to explode him.
- Scrapper Forge - Looks kinda like a scorpion, weak spots are his nose (very crit DMG, yellow light when it opens) and the glowing bars on his raised tail. When the nose opens it disgorges 3 Scrapper Nanites while firing at you from the tail. Upside is he has to stand still to do this.
Scrapper Uprising:
- Same as the major, but fewer Heat Sinks and less mayhem.
Scrapper ???:
- Heat Sink - Each Heat Sink has three glowy disks at it's "elbows". Shoot these to disable it.
- Scrapper Progenitor Core - When all Heat Sinks at the arkfall are disabled the Core will detach from its base and fly to each arm to repair it. When it pauses to repair the arm it opens its belly armor exposing the Core. This is the only time it may be damaged. This seems like a good time for the biggest rocket you have.
- Junkyard Dogs - Just a group of Mongrels. Easy target practice.
- Rise from the Wreckage - Assist the E-Rep soldier, then defend him from 1) Mongrels, 2) Mongrels and 2 Omnivolts, 3) Mongrels and Helibot, and finally a Forge.
