Promethean Watcher

In the Campaign gameplay video we saw that our robotic drone friends can take our grenades and toss them back. I just thought of this, can they catch rockets from a rocket launcher and throw them back at us. If so, these guys are gonna be a pain if there are a lot of them at once.

I’m pretty sure they can take your armor abilities so I don’t see why they couldn’t snatch up your rockets. I think any single slow moving projectiles are fair game.

their a double edged blade
If you shoot their eye when they are about to throw the said item back them will drop it to explode on the ground, Killing any enemy in the radius. So they could be a pain or could be the best weapon in halo history.

They’re better than Grunt Funeral.

I really hope not, that would suck. I wouldn’t think so though :confused:

Considering not only do they snag your grenades but they can also spawn crawlers or knights makes them quite possibly the most annoying enemy to fight, especially on legendary.

> They’re better than Grunt Funeral.

Not really, because one grunt turning into a plasma grenade would kill surrounding grunts, thus making more explosions.

I know it seems like they could be a pain in the -Yoink-, but here’s the thing. If you pay attention to the demo closely, the Watcher can only perform 1 task at a time. By itself, it’ll take some shots at you, when around a Knight, it will deploy a Hardlight Shield for cover, or catch incoming ordinance. That’s it’s weakness. If its doing one thing, it’s not doing another. Very simple design that lends well to making a player think about how they will approach the encounter.

It would be funny if we could EMP them down from the air.
