A rather unusual infantry unit, the Exterminator is designed to hunt down vehicles and remove them from the battle field, and is equipped specifically to do that job. |
Combat
This is a hovering infantry, making it rather unique. Despite its appearance, it is not an air unit and cannot shoot air units. It does, however, move like a flying unit (it can cross water, and it traverses all terrain types at the same speed), and its unique weapon deals full damage to infantry and more than double damage against vehicles.
Exterminators therefore deal decent damage. They are extremely frail, however; in a one-on-one fight, they will even lose to a Raider. So keeping them alive can be difficult. Try taking advantage of their hovering capabilities to plant them over water where other infantry have a hard time reaching them. You can also mix them in with other, more durable units, and hope that the enemy targets the other units first.
The grenades that Exterminators lob explode into a noxious cloud of acid that lasts for a second or two. This results in a not insignificant area of splash damage. Be careful that your own units don’t wander into the blasts.
