Reaper

The work put into the Reaper, and the rewards yielded, is garbage. Not worth it. Loot was ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Risk vs reward is garbage.

Garbage.

I guess I should be happy then that since they introduced Reapers despite having my areas up to 25 and having less than the max rivals in the areas I have yet to have one spawn.

Yeah , kill him before he kill himself....Reward was 2 EXP aswell.

Garbage.

Unlike all other rivals, the reaper can destroy itself and if it does you get less. Also, what you get is random, just like all the other machines. Also you need to be level 25 or above to get EXP weapons.

I have found that dropping your region levels below 25 and keeping less than 7 rivals, seems to increase the chance of reaper spawns. The sweet spot for region level seems to be between 21 and 24. Also if a rival spawns in a region it will be about 2 hours before a chance of anything else spawning. So if something besides a reaper spawns, destroy it, if it doesn't drop the region below 21 and move to another region.


By playing with what is on my map, most co-op games produce reaper after reaper and have had as many as 5 spawn within a 2 hour game.

It's true, the Reaper has an Effort/Reward ratio that makes it a complete joke. It is incredibly much faster to spawn and kill FNIX and Apocalypse Rivals to farm them for loot, much more fun and more satisfying too.

I play with one other person in Coop, we spawned one Reaper on purpose to try it out, and since tanks can't navigate most terrain it got stuck and the fight boiled down to "hold down left mouse button". Even that took ages. Immediately after killing it another Reaper spawned, haven't touched that one in weeks to make sure no more of those pointless hindrances can spawn in the world.

What is the intent of the game? Does it spawn a Reaper to reward the player or to punish? I doubt it's meant to reward the player.

atleast you can now stock up a ton of missiles with the upgradeable box.

After receiving my 2nd Experimental Hammer und my 2nd Experimental Rocket Launcher, i found myself recycling it because playing as single player there's no reason to have 2-times the same weapon.
Being at a high level i just use the Exp-KVM59, the Exp-PVG-90 and the silenced Colt with 1-4x Zoom.

Loot drops are random, doesn't matter if it's reaper, rival, etc.

Reaper's loot is affected by one small factor that people have pointed out in this very post

If it suicides itself you will get crap,as was the case the first time I fought one. The second time around I made sure I blew off all 4 shields before pounding it and received 2 EXP. weapons and alot more good stuff:ss13ok:

Kill the Reaper before it kills itself to get better loot, if you let it blow itself up the loot your gonna get is gonna be a bunch of crap.
