Constructor bots are Hyperion made mobile robot factories. They can digistruct Hyperion loaders and will do so until destroyed.

Constructors can appear as Badass Constructors that have an even higher amount of hit points than their regular counterparts.

Strategy

Constructors have many forms of attack, including:

  • Construction of new loaders. Badass constructors can create 3 loaders simultaneously.
  • Creating constructor turrets. Unlike loaders, turrets are spawned instantly.
  • Laser beams firing from its "eye".
  • Homing missiles.
  • Large nuclear missile with homing capbilities. Badass Constructors launch three missiles successively and raise a shield in front of their eye when preparing for the nuclear strike.
  • A massively-damaging ground pound when players enter close range.
  • Autocannon fire. Only Badass Constructors have autocannons, and they can be shot off as separate targets.

The main threat of a Constructor is its ability to create an endless supply of loaders. The primary weakness of the Constructor is its red eye in the middle. Shooting its eye when it is digistructing a robot can interrupt this process. If surveyors are present, they should be destroyed promptly due to their tendency to recharge shields around the Constructor. As with all robots, it is weak against corrosive weapons.

Notes

Trivia

  • Constructors will sometimes say "I'm chargin' my laser" before firing a beam from their eye. This could be a reference to this popular youtube video, the lazer collection.
