The basic Corpus Crewman wields a Dera Dera rifle, and wears a light brown suit. These Crewmen are weak and easy to kill when encountered in small groups, but in numbers, they can easily bring down a Tenno with combined fire. The Dera weapon used by this crewman is significantly weaker than the Dera available to Tenno. They are the Corpus equivalent of the Lancer.


Tactics[]

  • Crewmen possess the most generic combat tactics performed in the game. Shoot-and-run, cover-and-flank, and utilizing covers are the basis of these units.
    • Crewmen tend to fire their weapons continuously and rarely in bursts, unlike their Grineer counterpart Lancer.
    • Crewman can fire their Deras from both barrels, allowing them to shoot players on elevated areas more effectively.
  • Crewmen will occasionally take cover and blind-fire at their targets, albeit with suffered accuracy; (a) if ever their cover is half of their standing height, almost completely covering most of their weak spots, (b) if standing near a post or an end of a wall, they will rotate their weapons sideways, hiding most of their bodies until moving sideways reveal them.
  • They occasionally throw plasma grenades, and when behind cover there is an increased likelihood they will throw one.

Tips[]

Trivia[]

  • Crewmen and other Corpus infantry (except MOAs and Ospreys) have their own language, which was added in Update 12.
  • Crewman energy shields were added in Update 11.0 (2013-11-20). Prior to that, they were incredibly fragile in combat.
  • In Update 11.0 (2013-11-20) the headshot multiplier on Crewman's helmet was reduced from 2.0x to 0.1x, (likely due to the introduction of Damage 2.0), making headshots impractical. To compensate for this the ability to shoot off helmets was later added in Update 12.0 (2014-02-05).
  • They are sometimes called "boxheads" or "toaster heads" by the community, due to their distinctive helmet designs.
