Executioner

Executioner
Primary Weapon	Arm cannon
Games featured	Resistance: Burning Skies

The Executioner is a huge, bulky Chimeran strain that only appears in Resistance: Burning Skies.

Description

Executioners are bloated and enormous, with their head almost completely enveloped by their massive shoulders. They wear no armour, their bulky bodies apparently do the job of physical armor. They are slow and lumbering, unable to do much more than walking towards the player's position.

Their main feature is a massive, over-sized right arm mounting a giant cannon, which is both the creature's weapon and its weak point. Two glowing fins stick up near the muzzle of their weapon and needs to be destroyed, then the weapon itself can be targeted; like a Titan, an Executioner explodes into a pile of bloody gibs upon death.

Strategy

• The only known way to kill an Executioner is to shoot its arm mounted cannon until it explodes. The Bullseye's secondary fire is extremely useful. With the Bullseye, you can simply "tag" the Executioner's cannon. This will direct every shot to the Executioner's cannon.
• The "Explosive Tag" Bullseye upgrade is very useful against the Executioner's cannon. After firing an entire clip into the Executioner's weak point, the Explosive Tag upgrade will cause the expiring tag to explode. This will deal more damage than the traditional homing tag.

Intel

“	A cannon with a body attached to it. That's the best way to describe an Executioner. They're big, they're ugly, and that arm cannon can blow your butt off. So if you run into one be sure to take cover if you can. But they do have weakness--and that's the cannon itself. Aim for the gun, fire away, and don't let up until it explodes. Never give up, and never give in. - Leroy F.	”
