Crescent Overseer

The Crescent Overseer is an Illuminate heavy infantry unit. It is a variant of the standard Overseer equipped with a massive, shoulder-mounted plasma cannon. Said plasma cannon can be both used directly if Helldivers are in line of sight or as mobile artillery, designed to flush Helldivers out of cover.

Behavior[]

Crescent Overseers have a similar behavior to other Overseers. However, since they lack the staff of the regular Overseer, they will stick to firing projectiles at distance.

If a Helldiver is spotted and in direct line of sight, they will use the plasma cannons directly and with deadly precision in short burts.

If a Helldiver is spotted and known to be behind any form of cover, be it a road block or even a building, Crescent Overseers will start shooting their cannons in an arc, flooding the Helldiver position with a barrage of plasma and forcing them to reposition.

Tips[]

Do not underestimate their lack of melee weaponry as a sign to draw too close. They can still punch your head clean off. If they must be engaged in close combat, attacks from their cannon arm, as this forces them to turn inorder to wind-up a punch.
It is advisable to hit crescent overseers from the rear or behind, as they react very slowly to attacks.
Despite it's glowing appearance, their power packs do not explode when hit.
They possess all the weak points of a standard Overseer, but they cannot protect themselves with an energy shield, have no grenades, and have the worst mobility of them all as they cannot run.
The mortar projectiles act simillarly to the ones seen in use by the Bile Spewers of the Terminid front and Hulk Firebombers of the Automaton front. They can be evaded simillarly.
It is advisable to take care of crescent overseers as quickly as possible, as they can quickly gang-up overtime and unleash an unending lethal bombardment of plasma in short order.

Trivia[]

The Projectiles fired are capable of destroying the Shield Generator Pack instantly from a direct hit.
