Standard-Issue: Condor Gunship

The Condor Gunship offers no unit-specific research, and it receives no benefits from global air upgrades.

Unit Details

Officially, the Vulture is the heaviest combat air unit the UNSC has to offer—but there’s nothing official about the Condor Gunship. This flying fortress is actually a repurposed and highly weaponized civilian dropship. It breaks a large number of UNSC weapons platform regulations, but its effectiveness in battle is undeniable.

The Condor Gunship is a slow-moving but powerful craft armed with multiple pulse-laser Turrets and a light magnetic accelerator cannon (MAC)—all of which can independently target enemy units. The pulse lasers offer a high rate of fire, making the Condor effective against mass units. The MAC provides devastating burst damage for hard target elimination.

Basic Tactics

The Condor Gunship is extremely slow but extremely powerful. Its laser Turrets can engage a great many targets, and its MAC active ability is devastating to any units or structures caught in the area of effect. However, the MAC takes a while to charge and has a significant cooldown period. Choose your targets wisely.

The Condor is heavily armored, but it’s not indestructible. Keep a group of Nightingales nearby. Move in to heal the Condor as it takes damage. Even if the enemy focuses on your Nightingales, there’s a good chance they’ll manage to keep one another healed.
