Description

The Flare Gasher is one of the many perils of Arieki’s rocky regions. These beasts use a fire attack at range to wound their targets. They emit a scream that causes extreme damage to hard surfaces; this includes AFS armor, leaving the systems temporarily damaged. Take care to avoid melee combat during the vulnerable period.

At close range, Flash Gashers use crippling melee attacks for the final kill. Sprint away from approaching Flare Gashers, and use any Cryogenic or Laser weapons to defend your squad.
