Detailed Tactical Info
With their piercing gaze and powerful limbs, the Leaper clambers and jumps its way to any raider it can see, usually knocking out unexperienced raiders in a few seconds flat. They are a moving, living trial by fire and the first hurdle a raider must face, and have taught many their first lesson on the true brutality of the ARC.
Combat Advisory
Do not try to shoot them from far away. They WILL jump directly up to you from any distance. Their main trait is their considerable speed and high power thrusters that allow them to jump from any distance. They are the bloodhounds of the ARC, and they will hunt you down from any distance once you've drawn their attention. Your best strategy is to find a building and bait it out, or use overwhelming firepower such as Hullcrackers and Jupiters to strip its armor and destroy it. Once destroyed, they often have valuable parts that can give considerable amounts of money to a new raider. They may even try to bait you out by backing up, but do not be fooled. Pop out, put another bullet in it, and back up until you can keep its attention on you again.
