ED209 Boss

ED209 BOSS

Hostiles detected. Use of force authorized.

Give your players a heavily armed boss that refuses to go down quietly. ED209 combines relentless firepower with layers of defensive countermeasures, turning a simple boss fight into a battle for survival.

Rush him with explosives, attack from cover or bring a helicopter - ED209 has a response. Players will need teamwork, ammunition and a plan to bring him down.

Heavy Firepower

• Twin miniguns: Choose regular or incendiary 5.56 ammunition, with incendiary enabled by default.
• Optional reload pauses: Configure shots before reloading and the reload cooldown. Set the cooldown to zero for continuous fire.
• Retaliatory homing missiles: Attacking players can receive their own missile response, with separate cooldowns per player.
• Close-range mortar barrages: Punish players who rush in to plant explosives.
• Anti-helicopter missiles: Configure detection range, lock-on time and salvos, with separate cooldowns per helicopter.
• 360-degree targeting: ED209 turns to track threats and adjusts his aim for targets at different heights.

Countermeasures That Fight Back

ED209 is a hard-to-kill boss with more than health standing between players and their rewards.

• Flare defence: Deploys flares against incoming homing missiles.
• Smoke defence: Taking enough damage within a configured window triggers protective smoke.
• Smoke counterattack: After deploying smoke, ED209 launches a barrage against recent attackers, finishing each player’s barrage with an incendiary rocket.
• Individual retaliation cooldowns: Multiple attackers can receive a response instead of sharing one player’s cooldown.
• Combat movement control: Configure how long he holds position after combat activity before resuming his patrol.

Tune his health and incoming damage multipliers to create anything from a challenging encounter to a major server boss fight.

A Fight Players Will Remember

Robotic voice announcements signal target detection, countermeasures, missile locks, critical damage and shutdown.

At low health, electrical effects activate inside his body. Defeating him triggers a final shutdown sequence followed by an explosive destruction effect, loot crates and harvestable wreckage.

Your Patrols, Your Rules

Create custom routes with the built-in path editor or configure road patrols. Run multiple ED209s with individual patrol settings, spawn counts and respawn delays.

Use a single-point route to keep him guarding one location while still allowing him to fight.

Configure movement, targeting, weapon ranges, damage, cooldowns and rewards. Hostile-only targeting is optional, and attacking players can receive Rust’s timed hostile status. Vanished players are ignored by targeting.

Rewards Worth the Risk

• Bradley-style death crates with configurable counts and fire duration.
• Harvestable wreckage with configurable resources.
• Optional damage-contribution ownership locks.
• Optional team contribution handling.
• Optional Economics and ServerRewards payouts.
• Optional AlphaLoot profiles and Loottable presets.

PVE Integration

Damage hooks support TruePVE and SimplePVE. ED209 can damage players and player helicopters while building and deployable damage remains subject to your protection plugin’s rules.
