The Reaper Update supplies pilots with a brand new mech and the latest weapons, items, and equipment pieced together in the Garage, plus a few sharp looking camos to hide the scorch marks from previous missions.

Reaper Briefing
Straight from Prosk R&D comes the Reaper, a light mech equipped for mid-range sniping or close-quarters precision. It comes armed with brand new weapons, an exclusive ability not found on any other mech, and a new item provided as standard equipment.

Mech Stats
  • Primary Weapon: AM-SAR
  • Alternate Primary Weapon: Hawkins-RPR
  • Secondary Weapon: KE-Sabot
  • Prestige Weapon: Slug Rifle
  • Ability: Precision Overdrive
  • Starting Item: Detonator

Posted Image


Weapon Specs
  • The new AM-SAR is a potent anti-materiel weapon. This rapid-fire, single-shot rifle combines high accuracy with speedy reload times. Successive shots will decrease your accuracy, but recovery time is very quick.
  • The KE-Sabot is a new mid-range sniper rifle with zoom optics. Press the middle mouse button to zoom in on your enemies from afar. Zoom increases damage as well as precision.
  • Nicknamed "The Ripper", the Hawkins-RPR fuses together two sawed-off cannons that are highly-modified to produce rapid fire, close-range carnage. The Ripper is brand new and only available on the Reaper as a free level four unlock.
  • The Slug Rifle, retrofitted from the Sharpshooter, is highly-accurate at long range, and makes a great complement to the KE-Sabot for pure sniping missions. It is available on the Reaper as a level 25 unlock.

Ability and Item Specs
  • Precision Overdrive greatly increases your accuracy for a short period of time.
  • The Detonator comes standard on the Reaper, giving this light sniper a little extra oomph from afar or even when caught out in the open. Deploy this slow-moving explosive charge and it will fly straight and true until detonated. Simply press the firing mechanism again to detonate and deal damage in a massive radius.

Oh happy day we get 2 new weapons that have never been in the game before.

Already nicknamed mine the Reaver.


Edit: This is also a new Sabot rifle. Seems to do less damage than the original one. Seems like its an attempt to balance if for the A class mechs as a sniper.

So far I have done an underwhelming amount of damage to the enemy. Time for more practice!

Ok, I see we got something new, thanks, however, what happened to my level (17, now 15)  for my TV Mech and why are all my Optimizations set back to '0' ?

Before the update...

Why were those levels taken from me and the 2 levels of Optimization Upgrades?

Can be easily blown with Brawler. 1-2 shots of shotgun and 1 from rocket launcher.
Pretty weak class.

I got my Reaper to level 20, by far my most favorite mech. It can be a med range mech or a close range mech. I almost never die with it, no i don't camp hardcore with it. I play by doing the objective and i have a 20-1 k/d with it and i love it. Only thing i want to know really is, does not zooming in do alot less damage? or is it just like 10 percent or so? I know at like level 22 i believe, you get 10 percent increased unzoomed damage with one of the guns, just wondering if that makes it so it does 100 percent normal damage or not.

Overpowered, Space Destroyer confirm the point, Is way hard to kill, I have seen so many times 4 or 5 mechs chasing a single one Reaper, and still manage to kill one of them!  In all games with a Reaper, this one ends with the best kill ratio, is ridiculous. You should balance it, you could say that all depends of the skill, but I really think this mech is over the top.  matchs with reapers become boring and frustrating.
