← ENEMIES·AUTOMATONS·JET BRIGADE ASSAULT RAIDER
The Assault Raider is a light Jet Brigade variant of the Raider unit that specialises in close-quarters combat, being equipped with a Jump Pack, Fusion Pistol, and Heat Sword.
TACTICAL BRIEF
• The Assault Raider's jump pack can still potentially explode on an Assault Raider's remains. It can still be shot to blow it up prematurely.
• Due to the explosive nature of their jump packs, it is recommended that Helldivers destroy Jet Brigade Automatons at a safe distance. Diving backwards while shooting them is recommended to avoid potential damage from the jump pack.
• A group of Jet Brigade Automatons can be wiped out by triggering chain detonation. Shooting a Dropship full of Jet Brigade Automatons may instantly empty the Dropship.
• All light Automatons are equipped with a hidden flare launcher in their left arm, which can be used to call in Bot Drops. Destroying them before it can finish launching the flare will prevent a Bot Drop from being called in.
• Grenades and headshots will reliably one-shot all light Automatons.
