Defender Robot Idea

Name: Defender

Description: The defender is a counterpart of the Hunter, with the Hunters blade replaced with a bullet-proof shield to protect it. In later variants of the Hunter, it has a Tick Pod. When engaged in combat, the Hunter will forward the shield in front of itself, and fires with a machine gun. The shield can be torn off by a explosive, and makes the defender stagger momentarily.

Assists with: Deeper territory Beacons, Hunter Patrols, And spawns in military complex’s or towns.

Pros:
Bulletproof Shield
High HP
Tick Pod

Cons:
Not very agile
Noisy

Weaknesses:
A fuel cell on the back of the robot ( In more advanced variants, the fuel cell has a armor plate)

This is just a Idea that came through my head, feel free to give feedback and if you actually want this in the game.

I like it. Like some kind of riot control Machine… Perhaps add a tear gas launcher too.

the idea needs work because hunters usually flank , which would go against the behavior you suggest , it would need a new AI , which im sure could be done . what kind of shield do you suggest also , would this be a energy shield or a heavy metal one , both may need some consideration. this is a good idea, good post :smiley:

I’m pretty sure this man unintentionally stole my idea of this machine. Look at the comment “New Machine Idea: WARDEN”.

I’m certain that I suggested this before you did because, this post wasn’t here before I wrote that comment.

The shield would be a heavy metal one.

Yes, it would be bullet proof, but not explosive proof.

I’m sorry, I didn’t scroll down and see your idea, The Warden. I did think of the idea but after you did.
I did not purposely steal it.

That’s okay. Great minds think alike! :wink:
