Scarabs. A feared and terrifying unit. Especially in Halo Wars 2. Well sort of.
I used my first today. Saved the majority of my resources for it to create what would be the turn of the tide since the enemy held C for majority of the game.
It teleported down with a health bar bigger than the unit itself, I sent it in with a few units to draw some fire. It Clambered over rocks and I selected my target, it began to charge up it’s beam and unleashed the power of the sun at my enemy. The sound of pure energy surged through my headphones… This is it I thought.
Then a marine must have thrown a rock with such power it hit the self destruct button inside because it just exploded on the spot. No loss of health, no enemy super power used. It was half way through a scorpion tanks health and then it just blew up. Half of my enemies army didn’t even notice it was there.
It’s happened a few times since, I’ve destroyed a scarab on my own with one vulture missile. It just crumbles. It’s body drops down into a pile of black ash and it’s done.
300 Resource. Gone in 60 seconds. Surely this is a bug that needs fixing ASAP?
Anyone else run into this?
His name was Scabby and he was my friend. RIP Scabby.
