Scimitar

The Scimitar is a Landing Craft, which can serve as an alternative transportation choice to the Liset. It comes with the Carpet Bomb Ability, dropping bombs in a line from the player's position to their Air Support Charge's position.

The Scimitar landed in Update 18.0 (2015-12-03).

Acquisition

The Scimitar's main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. The component blueprints can be dropped by Assassin-type enemies, with the Fuselage dropping from the Grustrag Three, the Engines dropping from Stalker and Shadow Stalker, and the Avionics dropping from Zanuka Hunter. All component blueprints are tradeable between players.

Notes

• The barrage deals 250  Impact damage.
• The explosions of the barrage will Knockdown and Ragdoll most enemies (more testing is needed).

Trivia

• The Scimitar appears to resemble a manta ray or stingray. Alternatively, the Scimitar may have been inspired by stealth bombers such as the B-2 Spirit, both in form and function.
  • Additionally, the Scimitar has unique flying sound effects that are much quieter than other Landing Crafts' sound effects. This falls in line with its stealth bomber aesthetics.
• In the game files, the Scimitar is known as the "Blue Sky Ship."
• On the key art used for the loading screen of Update 31, a pair of Scimitars can be seen firing projectiles on the left side of the scene, suggesting that the ship has weapon capabilities other than bombs.
