This video shows surveillance footage of the Reaper (Soviets) primary and secondary combat functions.

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Reaper:

• Bristling with weapons -- The Reaper hails from an age of Soviet excess, which is why it's loaded down with so many explosive weapons. Its three fast-firing grenade launchers and top-mounted rocket rack are almost excessive in their stopping power, and let the Reaper attack both surface and air targets.

• The price of punishment -- Because it is available in relatively short supply and packs so much firepower, the Reaper is fairly expensive to produce, even more so than a Soviet main battle tank. While most Soviet forces are considered to be specialized and efficient, the Reaper can be seen as something of a jack-of-all-trades.

• The questionable proto-jump -- Much like the Sickle, the Reaper is capable of leaping long distances. Unlike the Sickle, the Reaper only gets one shot at this before its legs inevitably break, turning the thing into a makeshift defensive turret. Being much heavier than Sickles, Reapers can crush almost anything they land on, making the benefits of the proto-jump potentially outweigh the consequences.

• The steadfast Reaper-turret -- Once legless, the Reaper remains fully operational apart from its lack of mobility. It can still attack in any direction, and because the jump landing tends to bury the Reaper's canopy halfway into the ground, its defenses are bolstered in this state.

This video has no sound.

  • Is the Reaper's all-purpose triple grenade launchers were effective against infantry and vehicles?

  • @Superfrycook

    yes, but better against groups of infantry than a single target due to the spread damage. it is not effective against tanks

  • In RA3 and RA3 Uprising, each faction uses walkers? Like the triple Soviet walkers (Terror Drone, Sickle and the Reaper), and the Imperial robots like the Mecha Tengu, the Striker VX, the King Oni and the Steel Ronin?

  • @Superfrycook

    yes in a way, allies only walker is the future tank x1

    the soviets uses 4 legged drones/robots while empire uses 2 legged robots like anime style.

  • How can you get this unit??? Mods? or only missions?

  • this is a new unit in the red alert 3 expansion: 'Red Alert 3: Uprising'.

    You forgot to add Top Secret Protocol Weapons! But the ones in your comment will do. Good one.

  • @BlackEagle351

    1. Like any base defences.

    2. Flak Troopers with mines

    3. Mirage Tanks, Tesla tanks (if Shock Therapy), terror drones + V4, grinders etc

    How is it now, imperialist?

  • @AndrewtheDuke

    Weakness?

    1.Artillery (Naval and Land) - Especially Athena Cannon.

    2.Black Hole Armor - Assault Destroyers will gobble up all the rockets and grenades and let Harbingers do the dirty work...

    3.And since it has medium armor, I won't bother sending out Anti-surface tanks (Apocalypse Tank, Future Tank X1 and King Oni) to clean their shit.

    You have anything more to say, Soviet Bear?

  • you can also repair the unit when it has landed and it does not require power

  • Reaper!

    Armament:

    PKX40 grenade launcher x3

    Katyusha rocket launcher

    Armor medium! Has more armor after it becomes entrenched.

    Both anti-air and anti-surface

    4 of these tough guys destroy Harbinger in some seconds! Where is your air-power now, Allied dogs??

  • @WiktrytTheDragon You forgot one thing ! It keeps it's rank even after it loses its legs... Also if it has no rank when it becomes a turret it can still gain ranks and become stronger!
