ARC Threat File: Heavy Assault Platform "Bastion"
Overview
The Bastion is a heavily armored, quadrupedal fortress unit designed for area dominance and high-value resource defense. While notably slow-moving, it compensates with devastating gatling-gun fire capable of eliminating any Raider caught in its line of sight. Its deployment is believed to signal ARC’s strategic interest in a location, making it both a formidable obstacle and a marker of valuable loot.
Tactical Behavior & Threat Assessment
Patrolling key resource zones, the Bastion serves as a mobile stronghold. Before engaging, it emits a distinctive loud screech, then unleashes sustained gatling-gun fire for approximately three seconds toward the last known Raider position. Its suppression capability makes direct confrontation in open areas extremely hazardous.
Critical Weak Points & Engagement Strategy
The Bastion’s armor is formidable but not impenetrable. Strategic targeting can quickly turn the tide:
Yellow Leg Joints & Rear Canister: Unarmored and vulnerable. Striking these causes direct damage and briefly stuns the unit.
Exposed Core: Destroying the rear canister peels back armor, revealing a barrel-like weak spot that takes major damage when shot.
Explosive Advantage: Blaze Grenades are highly effective; Snap Blast Grenades and well-placed Deadline mines (near the canister) can achieve rapid elimination.
Countermeasures & Survival Tactics
Use Substantial Cover: Buildings, rock formations, or reinforced barriers are essential.
Break Line of Sight: Once it screeches, immediately seek cover to avoid sustained fire.
Environmental Concealment: Dense foliage or interior spaces can provide temporary refuge.
Stun & Strike: Capitalize on stun windows after damaging joints or the canister to focus fire on exposed weak points.
