Changes: Scrapper

Revision as of 13:40, 26 April 2020

The Scrapper is a machine in Horizon Zero Dawn. It is the smallest of the Acquisition Class machines, whose function is the gathering and recycling of resources. However, it is also equipped with offensive weaponry that can be employed against perceived threats, such as encountered humans.

History

The original function of Scrappers was to recycle the bodies of destroyed or otherwise non-functional machines, so that the materials could be used in the construction of more machines. Originally Scrappers were docile, posing no threat to humans. However, their behavior became more hostile as a result of the Derangement.

Appearance

The chassis of a Scrapper bears some resemblance to the body shape of a hyena^[1]. It is quadrupedal, with a humped posture, clawed feet, no tail, and a thick, ridged neck. The machine’s mouth assembly is composed of 3 circular grinders, primarily used for grinding machine parts as part of their recycling function. However they are also used by the Scrapper in melee attacks. Two optical sensor arrays, each composed of four sensors, are located on its head, in the same positions as a hyena’s eyes. A radar scanner is located on its dorsal side between its shoulders, and a power cell is located between its haunches. An energy weapon capable of firing both energy bursts and laser beams is located in its mouth assembly.

Behavior

Scrappers are invariably found in packs of at least two, roaming areas in search of machine chassis to recycle. Occasionally a Scrapper will stop and use its radar scanner. The Scrapper appears programmed to ignore any radar signature from the presence of a stationary object, machine or moving object that is less than the size of a human. If it detects a moving object that is at least the size of a human, the Scrapper immediately runs to the vicinity of the signature and investigates. However, if the signature is from a machine or from a moving object that is smaller than a human, such as wildlife, the Scrapper ignores it.

Abilities

Scrappers are agile, and attack in the manner in which they work: in packs. If a threat is identified, the pack of Scrappers attacks it aggressively, employing both ranged and melee attacks. Ranged attacks are employed using the energy weapon located in the Scrapper’s mouth assembly; from it a Scrapper can fire bursts of energy and laser beams. Melee attacks include jumping at the enemy and slashing with its claws or swiping with its jaw grinders.

Weaknesses

Scrappers can be instantly killed with a single Silent Strike by approaching from behind while avoiding detection or luring them towards tall grass, or killed during combat by following up with a Critical Hit once knocked to the ground after sustaining previous damage or strong melee attacks. Removing or destroying the Radar disables its area scanning ability, and striking the Power Cell with Shock Arrows triggers a large area-of-effect explosion that electrically stuns anything within range and disables all ranged energy attacks.

Trivia

They are attracted to destroyed machines, similar to the Glinthawk.
If allowed to do so, a Scrapper will strip all of the valuable/useful resource from the chassis of a destroyed machine; Aloy, therefore, gets nothing from the chassis.

-== History ==
-Scrappers were created by [[GAIA]] as part of the terraforming process after the [[Faro Plague]] wiped out all the biomass on Earth in the 21st century. Scrappers contribute to the environment by cleaning up broken machines rather than letting them rust and contaminate the area. For a long time, Scrappers were peaceful and dutiful machines that shied away from humans if one was spotted.
+== Abilities ==
-However, a decade before the game's events, the [[Derangement]] took place and the Scrappers, along with all the other machines, began to become more aggressive. They would menace [[Human|humans]] that attacked them instead of running away or keeping their distance. By the time [[Aloy]] came of age and learned to hunt, Scrappers would attack humans on sight.
+Scrappers are agile, and attack in the manner in which they work: in packs. If a threat is identified, the pack of Scrappers attacks it aggressively, employing both ranged and melee attacks. Ranged attacks are employed using the energy weapon located in the Scrapper’s mouth assembly; from it a Scrapper can fire bursts of energy and laser beams. Melee attacks include jumping at the enemy and slashing with its claws or swiping with its jaw grinders.
+===Weaknesses===
+Scrappers can be instantly killed with a single [[Silent Strike]] by approaching from behind while avoiding detection or luring them towards tall grass, or killed during combat by following up with a [[Critical Hit]] once knocked to the ground after sustaining previous damage or strong melee attacks. Removing or destroying the Radar disables its area scanning ability, and striking the Power Cell with Shock Arrows triggers a large area-of-effect explosion that electrically stuns anything within range and disables all ranged energy attacks.
