The XR-003 Sapper Explosive Delivery System exclusively appears in Resistance: Fall of Man and is obtained from a dead SRPA Black Ops soldier. The weapon fires organic explosive globules based on those used by the Widowmaker. This explosive material is highly sensitive and likely to explode when approached. Due to this, they are able to serve as proximity mines, or can be remotely detonated from the Sapper's secondary function.
Strategy[]
- Try to preempt where the enemy, especially quick ones such as Leapers and Gray Jacks, is going to move, and lay down traps for them. As soon as the sacs sense an enemy nearby, they will explode causing considerable damage if a cluster has been left.

Trivia[]
- The Sapper is believed British Intelligence to be a product of a secret U.S. weapons programs, which can be proven correct upon the release of Resistance 2 and the introduction of SRPA. It can be presumed that the U.S. Armed Forces replaced the Sapper with the HE .44 Magnum.
- In the Resistance 3 extras video "Remembering R1," it is shown that the Sapper model was originally assigned to a totally different weapon, a physics manipulator resembling the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2. Developers state that the weapon was axed in this form because it could not be made to function correctly in time to make the ship date.
