Inferno GX

From Red Faction Wiki
  • The Inferno GX is a vehicle in Red Faction: Armageddon.

    Description

    Originally developed for travel above the surface, the Inferno GX has been heavily modified by the Marauders for underground flight. Force shielding protects it from lava flows and the occasional wall collision while the Blossom missiles let it remove any obstacles.

    The Inferno GX Flyer is a fast and agile craft with a surprisingly robust mix of offensive options. The rapid-fire cannon is the Flyer's primary weapon, best deployed against light threats such as Ravagers. If you need to inflict heavier damage, fire the blossom missiles. Shortly before one of these missiles reaches its target, it splits into five separate warheads, with the individual contrails resembling a blossom. The warheads then impact over a large area, ideal for bringing down large structures. While the Inferno GX is well armed, it suffers from relatively weak shielding and armour. Sustained fire from Ravagers and other hostile units can greatly weaken the shields, so keep an eye on the shield metre and be prepared to retreat to a safe location while the shields regenerate. In addition to enemy fire , watch out for falling debris while piloting the flyer through the Marauder caves - blast any objects hanging from the ceiling, let them fall, and then fly forward. Like the Walkers, the Inferno GX is equipped with a visualization mode, (Default Key: Z) making it much easier to spot pesky Ravagers clinging to cavern walls and ceilings.
