The Kestrel Missile Launcher is the primary anti-vehicular weapon of the Kestrel Unmanned Combat Aircraft Vehicle.[1]
These missile launchers launch four laser-guided high-explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) munitions at a target.[2]
While good against vehicles, they are unable to track smaller infantry and could easily overshoot its missiles if a unit hides behind cover.[3][4]
Strategy[]
These missiles deal heavy damage and, on higher difficulties, would result in a insta-kill. Players are given ample warning however, as a Kestrel would use its laser-designator to line up its missiles before firing. Always take cover when this happens to avoid the brunt of the damage when possible.
Behind the Scenes[]
- The Kestrel reloads these missiles internally as can be seen when fighting them.
