We've seen 3 new enemy types, how many more..

Games Other Halo
1

Will we get?

The Promethean Knight, crawlers and watchers have been revealed so far, but how many more?

2

Hopefully not too many! Three Hundred and Forty Three Interactions are doing a really wonderful task of making sure we are not too surprised and confused by new enemies, which is why the new enemy types are a sort of metal Flood infection form, a Sentinel/Drone that can do a grenade spin (bit scary imo) and a Bionicle Elite.

> Bionicle Elite.

oh god

OT: I hope they at least make one or two more, much like the covenant.

At the moment, comparing to the covenant:

Promethean Crawler = Grunts

Promethean Knight = Elites

Promethean Watcher = Drones (Annoying!) Engineers (Still annoying!)

I’d like to see something like a Skirmisher or Jackal.

We’ll see 4 more of the new enemy class. I don’t know about Covenant or possible Sentinels.

5

4 more, 7 in total.

Watchers seem to fill in a more supportive role than offensive, I’d say Watcher = Engineer.

I missed that, is there a source for this?

There was actually 5 Forerunner enemies that we saw. But that last one was unknown to us. I think it may of been a Promethean Commander or something like that :open_mouth: We’ll find out soon :slight_smile:

I thought there were 4 types already?

The watcher, crawler, knight and lancer ( the Promethean Lancer being like the knight but it’s that one that teleports quickly towards you)

Edit: this article says the lancer is just a variant of the knight.

The lancer is just a different variant to the Knight, not a completely different enemy.

Yeah just realised :wink:

That’s; 343 Industries.

Just thought I’d let you know.

Engineers is more accurate yes, the Watchers doesn’t swarm (yet!) either. Though, they are able to shoot you, and of course lob your grenades back at you, so they’re not without offensive capabilities.
