Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Strogg Deployables
Strategic Strike Gun The Strogg Strategic Strike Gun is a colossal tactical bombardment device, the original prototype of both Quake II’s Big Gun and BFG, and is deployed by the Oppressor class.
In ETQW, the SSG represents the current state of the art in Strogg Bosonic Orb technology - generating and projecting a fizzing, flaming energy orb in a lethal arc across the battlefield, crashing into its target to inflict catastrophic damage.
Shield Generator The Shield Generator protects the Strogg units from GDF fire support, neutralising incoming artillery fire with a disruptive energy shield.
The Shield Generator is effective against GDF’s Artillery, Rockets and Hammer Missile, but cannot defend against Airstrikes, which are triggered by a hand-thrown smoke marker.
Rail Howitzer The Rail Howitzer is a powerful Strogg bombardment device, deployed from orbit by the Oppressor class. Once dropped into the battlefield, Oppressors can then designate targets for it.
After a short pause for the Howitzer to come to bear, it will fire a salvo of super-accelerated explosive shells to rain down upon the enemy, dealing devastating damage to all units within the target area.
Psi-Radar The Strogg Psi-Radar is a psionic surveillance and intelligence device, called down from orbit by the Infiltrator class.
The Psi-Radar detects and tracks troops and vehicles within its range, passing that data on to the Domination Hub structure to be projected onto each Strogg players’ command map, removing fog of war and alerting them to human movement.
Plasma Mortar The Strogg Plasma Mortar is a squat, powerful bombardment device that projects a gob of fizzing plasma in a high trajectory to crash down on enemy targets, making it particularly effective against enemies with strong frontal cover.
The Plasma Mortar allows the Strogg Oppressor player class to overwhelm a point target firepower, and is usually employed against enemy fixed positions and chokepoints.
Anti-Personnel Turret The Strogg Anti-Personnel Turret is a deployable defense turret. Once dropped in from orbit at the request of the Constructor, it will fire at any enemy infantry within range.
Strogg Plasma cannon overheat rapidly, so the turret mounts eight of them to maintain a high rate of fire. A Strogg player can ‘man’ the turret, over-riding the automatic targeting to engage targets of his choice.
Anti Vehicle Turret Deployed to the battlefield upon request by the Strogg Constructor class, the Anti-Vehicle Turret is an autonomous rocket launcher which detects and engages any enemy vehicle or aircraft within its range.
The Anti-Vehicle Turret will fire bio-mechanical homing rockets until the target is destroyed or flees out of range.
