Operation Hollow StormEdit

StubIcon.gif This article is a Stub and needs your help. Please improve it by adding more information.
Many reavers were used in the counterattack led by locust general skorge, as they were also used by delta squad when confronting skorge on his hydra on the way to Jacinto. While they were riding them, Augustus Cole made a remark about a flying horsey, and even named the beast just that. Later, several reavers try to attack Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago while atop a hijacked brumak, which later turned lambent and was blown up to act as the lightmass bomb would.

BackgroundEdit

The Reaver's body structure and resulting function is complex, especially in the matters of how it is able to fly. The Reaver's raptor-like head is small in comparison to its large body, which is tough with several tentacles in the back which probably act as the Reaver's flying limbs. There are also two small, hook-shaped limbs on the Reaver's "belly" that appear to be vestigial, though they may help the Reaver cling onto objects for easier landing. The tentacles are powerful, and Reavers can attack with them as well. How the Reavers fly is unknown.

Reavers serve as flying vehicles for other Locust, deployed to launch quick, bloody raids against the humans and reinforce faltering Locust attacks or defensive lines. The creature has two seats: one for the pilot and one gunner, the latter being either a standard Drone or a more threatening Theron Guard. Reavers have little or no armor, but they have tough skin, making them difficult to kill, but not impossible.

Behind the ScenesEdit

  • Reavers are actually seen very early in the game in the Act 1 chapter, Knock Knock. Simply walk to the giant Emergence Hole down the street from the location in front of the House of Sovereigns stairway and you will be told that there is a point of interest. While holding the 'Y' button, you will see a couple of Reavers will land and fly away in the distance. The resulting force also causes the cars near the hole to fall into it.
  • Also revealed, like many weapons, the Reaver has several lights on their saddle and helmet that will become blue or red, in relation to the pilot's affiliation.
  • When the Reavers are on the ground or in the air and used as combat walkers, the saddle mounted rocket launcher will still fire even if both pilots have been killed.
  • If a player is killed by a Reaver on Horde, it will say that it used a Boomshot to kill you. This is odd, since if it used Boomshots, it would be loud, but it isn't.
