The first boss has arrived in “The Islands” mission. The King Crab rises from the water in the fifth wave — and from that moment your main target is not the stations but your locomotive.
Where it came from
From the first tests, ordinary robot crabs got the strongest reactions: they crawl out of the water, cut the rail and leave. We asked ourselves what would happen if such a crab grew to the size of a train car and got a mortar. The result is the King Crab.
How it fights
- It roams. It cuts the rail, then moves 25–75 meters to a new spot, closer to the stations.
- It shoots. At stations within 70 meters. If the train is nearby, it aims at the locomotive.
- It warns. A red circle with a timer appears on the ground: you have about a second to move the train away.
- It dives. At two thirds and one third of its health it goes under water and releases two ordinary crabs.
The main rule of the fight: don’t stand still. While the crab cuts the rail it is exposed — drive up, hit it and leave right away.
Weak spot
The shell absorbs half the damage. But while cutting, its claws are busy and the armor opens — damage to the boss grows 1.6×. A “Weak spot!” label appears above the crab: time to bring up the cannon car.
What’s next
The King Crab is the first campaign boss. The second awaits in the final mission “Raiders’ Lair”: the gang’s armored train. The airship, the land battleship and the drilling mole are already drawn and waiting their turn.
