Warstrider
Brad Copp1 / 2
A towering war machine with hydraulic legs, heavy weapons, a vulnerable rear reactor and a devastating second phase.
Description
Warstrider
A 7 m reverse-jointed war machine: a Bradley chassis and turret on hydraulic walker legs, with rocket pods, a coax gun and an armoured rear reactor. Fully procedural walking - feet plant on the real terrain, the body leans and bobs, and the turret tracks independently.
How it spawns
- Save spawn points with
/ws point add(relative to the nearest monument). - Enable automatic spawning for a spawn every 1 - 2 hours at a random saved point (minimum players, one alive at a time by default), announced in chat with the grid.
- Admins can spawn it anywhere.
The fight
- Main cannon: a 3-shot Bradley salvo with target leading - strafe after the lock-on beep.
- Rocket barrage: 8 arcing rockets (12 in phase 2) at marked spots.
- Coax gun, stomp, overcharge dash (smashes weak walls and deployables in its path), leap with a landing shockwave, and an expanding shockwave you can jump over.
- Weak point: the rear reactor. It's armoured until the hatch opens while venting after big attacks, and is blown open for good in phase 2 (50% HP), when it gets faster and angrier.
- Heavy explosive damage staggers it. Players hiding in buildings are flushed out with incendiaries and smoke, campers on high ground are dragged down, aircraft get SAM-style missiles, and distant attackers are chased with long bounds.
- On death it collapses in chain explosions and drops a Bradley crate, an elite crate and fire.
Useful config options
- Health (8,000), phase 2 threshold and multipliers, reactor/hatch damage multipliers.
- Automatic spawning: on/off, interval, minimum players, max alive, announcement text.
- Movement speeds, patrol and leash radius.
- Every weapon: on/off, damage, range, cooldown.
- Anti-cheese (hiding, high ground, anti-air), loot crates, health bar, map marker.
