Drones

A typical cannon-fodder, sent to fight in great numbers.

All drones are males, as their wives, berserkers, are far from being obedient soldiers.

Can be met in all parts of planet Sera, most likely in several groups.

Shoot their heads, they’ll die quicker.

One clear shot from the sniper rifle and the Flamer explodes along with his nearby companions.

Grinder

Patience and frequent cover change is important in eliminating them.

Theron Guards

Elite infantry of the Locust.

Wait for them to reload, and then shoot them.

Kantus

These guys somewhat spiritual leaders among the Locust.

They usually command the resistance points, but don’t pose too much of a threat.

Bloodmount

They’re fast, and have a very strong kick.

It’s hard to get away from them, so keep your distance.

Even when you kill the rider, the Bloodmount is still a dangerous animal.

Reaver

Locust’s air cavalry.

Very dangerous and with great fire power.

When they land, they’re quite clumsy, but don’t let them get too close to you.

Even a barrier won’t last an attack of their tentacle.

Wretcher

Foul creatures, stunning their enemies with a wild roar.

They move on four limbs, and can be really fast.

On the lower difficulty setting, you just have to hit them in the head with the butt.

On higher configs, fighting them requires some more strategy and dextrous fingers.

The shotgun works great against them.

Ticker

Small, filthy, fast and in addition they explode.

you could eliminate them from distance, or wait for them to get closer and initiate the detonator.

A quick roll helps to avoid damage then.

Extremely dangerous to any vehicle.

They are large beasts carrying a whole arsenal on their backs.

Their weak points are the guns mounted on their backs and jaws.

They’re not too fast, so they’re a perfect target.

Corpser

Used by the Locust to dig underground tunnels.

They’re extremely dangerous in close combat and can destroy a tank with one hit.

They’re impossible to damage when they cover with their long, spider-like limbs.

Although they’re harmless once they expose.

Rockworm

They have incredibly tough armour, and love the red fruits hanging in the caves.

They’re great as a moving cover, and will prove very useful in some fights with the Locust.

They’re not aggressive, but aren’t good for hugging either.

Mainly because of their size, and well, the looks.
