Redeemer Crusader are a heavy cruiser-class Redeemer enemy in Everspace 2. They are identified on the heads-up display by a twin-triangle icon.
Characteristics & Behavior[]
Crusaders fire pairs of Homing Heat Missiles at regular intervals and are also equipped with Blasters for close-range combat. Hits from the missiles cause one random weapon or module of the ship to overheat.
They try to keep their distance to the player to keep firing their Missiles. Crusaders are able to temporarily generate an impenetrable shield in front of them when too close to the enemy.
Strategy[]
Weapons with a blast radius, especially Flak are able to circumvent the shield and always deal damage to this enemy.
Alternatively, you an try to keep a high distance to the Crusader and attack it with long range weapons. They need to disable their front shield to shoot their missiles, which makes them vulnerable to enemy fire.
