Pikes
Pikes are fast and maneuverable combat vehicles. They are armed with 2 Arc Cannons that rapidly fire fast-moving projectiles. They are available in Machines of War Crucible Mode.
Using Pikes
Players can tap their L1 button to strife to left and R1 button to strife to the right. It gives your Pike the maneuverability to dodge enemy fire. while in air, strafing makes you execute a barrel roll. Rather than air braking, you are able to carry out a hard turn by turning in 1 direction then use strafe to kick the Pike around in a curving arc.
Pikes, unlike Interceptors, are highly maneuverable combat vehicles. While they do not have the firepower or armor of a Interceptor, they can be even more deadly in the right hands due to their speed and mobility. Players can hit the bumpers on their controllers to strife left and right. These commands are useful for dodging incoming projectiles.
While players can hold down their trigger to continuously fire from these cannons, they overheat after a while.
Versus Pikes
To disable Pikes, players can snipe the driver, leaving the vehicle untouched and available to take over by you or another player. A Sniper Rifle or Scout Rifle should do the job.
To destroy Pikes, Heavy Weapons, Supers and grenades are effective. Players can also use Turrets on another like the First Light. Do not take on a Pike by yourself if you do not have any of the aforementioned abilities or weapons.
