The Disciple was a ferocious Locust Drone unleashed upon the Coalition of Ordered Governments during the early years of the Locust War.

The lead scientist of the Locust Horde, Ukkon, harnessed the power of Imulsion to build his army. Resulting experiments with the Locust Drones led to the creation of the deadly Disciple.

Strategy

These enhanced Drones formed the fierce and unrelenting front-line of Ukkon's army. Each Disciple wore an injection harness that delivered a continual flow of Imulsion into their bodies, amplifying the power of their attacks and granting them increased resilience and strength.

When killed, they release the trapped Imulsion within their bodies, turning the surrounding area into a toxic kill zone.

Behind the scenes

• Like the Zealot, it is unknown why Ukkon decided to inject Imulsion into the Locust, given the fact that the threat of Lambency was widely known amongst the Horde by the time Gears Tactics took place. Injecting these Locust with a mutagenic organism that infects the host against their own kind seems counterproductive to the Locust Horde.
