El raya del desierto es una criatura Sin afiliación nativa de Marte que reside en los asentamientos de Grineer.
Estos rayas del desierto pueden excavar libremente a través del suelo arenoso de los asentamientos y salir a la superficie para atacar y enjambrar a los jugadores en grupos. Son capaces de arrojar proyectiles en forma de pernos de sus colas cuando están enterrados bajo tierra.
Las rayas del desierto son generalmente hostiles tanto hacia los Grineer como hacia los Tenno, por lo que a menudo se pueden observar escaramuzas entre las tropas Grineer y las rayas del desierto.
Las rayas del desierto parecen estar fuertemente armadas en su espalda, pero tienen un vientre suave y vulnerable. Es mejor atacar cuando se voltean al resurgir, exponiendo así su debilidad.
Dado que son hostiles hacia todas las facciones, pueden alertar a todo el nivel incluso si los enemigos no han visto al jugador, lo que hace que las misiones sigilosas sean imposibles de lograr. No se consideran objetivos en misiones de exterminio.
Variantes[]
A variant of the Desert Skate appears in the Shifting Sands Alerta táctica. Affected by an unusually large deposit of Criótica below Phobos, the Skate gains a vivid crimson backside and azure splotches across it's underbelly and face, which resembles Criótica.
The Cryotic variant of Desert Skates.
Strangely, these variants only seem to surface once a Drilling Extractor has landed, suggesting it may be disturbed by the Extractor itself or attracted to Criótica as a new food source. Once the Extractor has finished or been destroyed, the Skates eventually disperse and disappear under the sands.
Notas[]
- Desert Skates are immune to Nyx's Caos, much like Kubrows.
- Desert Skates are not affected by Vauban's Bastilla, but are tugged and damaged by Vórtice. They can still shoot spikes at you while under Vórtice's effects as they are not ragdolled by the ability.
- Desert Skates are not affected by Mag's Tirón but are still damaged by it.
- It is never strictly necessary to kill Desert Skates, even in Extermination missions. Because these enemies are fairly difficult to destroy, pose relatively little acute danger, provide little in the way of loot or afinidad, and help distract the Grineer, many Tenno simply run past them (or jump over them) without fighting them.
- Desert Skates can block movement even if they're buried, which can result in the Tenno being trapped.
- Desert Skates cannot be affected by Nekros' Sombras de los muertos.
Curiosidades[]
- Desert Skates are the first natural wildlife to be added to the game.
- Physically, Desert Skates closely resemble large stingrays, but with the legs of a scorpion.
- Skates are an actual ocean-dwelling animal related to rays, and by extension, sharks.
