Archer Heavy Rocket

Archer Heavy Rocket

The Archer fires a powerful homing rocket. It must be locked on a target before it can be fired. When aimed, a targeting window flips out, allowing target acquisition. Hold this window over the target continuously until a lock is achieved, and then fire.

DEVELOPER TIP

When using the Archer Heavy Rocket, time your shot well. For example, if the locked-on Titan is preemptively blocking with a Vortex Shield, wait for the Vortex Shield to go away before firing your Archer.

Strengths:
  • Guided rocket with high accuracy
Weaknesses:
  • Lengthy lock-on procedure
Weapon Performance

Magazine Capacity: 1

Weapon Unlock: Level 1

Field Notes

  • This weapon is a great way to deal a massive amount of damage to an unsuspecting Titan. However, the weapon is ineffective when fighting a Titan head-on due to the lack of manual fire and having a long lock-on time—you must aim at a Titan and achieve a lock before the weapon can be fired. The most difficult part of using this weapon is following up after you score a hit with the initial rocket. Be sure to have cover nearby because the Titan can tell when the Archer locks on. The Titan will surely be gunning for you after you hit it once. Better yet, target a heavily damaged Titan to doom it, and then prepare to engage the ejecting Pilot.
