This massive, ominous, menacing Remnant houses an arsenal that engages multiple targets at once. |
Destroyer is a Remnant mob enemy.
Codex[]
Destroyers are heavy-weapon platforms deployed against the most determined intruders into Remnant territory. Armed with a directed energy cannon and two secondary laser turrets that can engage multiple targets simultaneously, a single Destroyer can take out an entire combat squad in minutes. When asked why she named it a "Destroyer," Peebee folded her arms, rolled her eyes, and answered, "You figure it out."
One of the most disconcerting characteristics of the Destroyer is its partitioned power system. Destroying one of its turrets means that power is automatically diverted to its locomotion systems, allowing it to move much faster. Many individuals have mistakenly believed they could pick off a Destroyer's turrets from a distance and evade it safely, only to have the Destroyer close that distance unexpectedly. This often has fatal consequences, since at melee range, the Destroyer transfers power to an electromagnetic burst that causes severe damage to any individuals unlucky enough to be close.
APEX has reported variants of the Destroyer that have a self-repair network for their turrets. These Destroyers can briefly go dormant, transferring full power to fix any damage before reactivating its turrets again. Few have been sighted, but engagement is not recommended.
Stats[]
Destroyers are armor and shield enemies. Each destroyer has a Turret on each arm that is also an armor and shield enemy. They are armed with two rapid-fire turrets, a powerful main gun, and an energy field activated at melee range.

Notes[]
Destroyers will explode with a charged explosion when killed leaving no remains to be scanned. This creates a difficulty in scanning, as it requires being up close to a hostile enemy while still alive in order to scan it.
The Destroyer can be scanned for Aid APEX.
The final boss-level enemy for The Remnant Tiller, known as the Progenitor, is a named version of a Destroyer with slightly different combat abilities and weapons but no less dangerous.
