Description
Edit
The Goliath is a 6-wheeled all-wheel drive semi-autonomous attack drone. It can ram through most buildings, is equipped with advanced computers, including a synthensized version of a self preservation instinct, with it moving out of immediate enemy fire when attacking. It can carry up to 8000 pounds of armor and ordnance. However, it is only featured in the campaign.
WeaponsEdit
The Goliath is armed with a .50 caliber machine gun and a rocket battery, and attacks targets that have been painted by the player. The player only has the rockets available, as the .50 caliber gun is computer controlled.
StorylineEdit
(Warning: Spoiler Alert)
At some point before the plot of the game, or even the book, Hopper Lee stole and hacked a Goliath to fight for the American Resistance.
In the early levels it is introduced and used by Jacobs to attack and destroy various Korean enemies, including multiple Humvee's, and a KPA tank. At one point Jacobs must advance down a street, defending the Goliath from enemy RPG's, while the Goliath takes out waves of conventional KPA.
Sadly, Goliath was sacrificed in The Wall to break through the Korean defensive wall surrounding Montrose, Colorado by having its chassis covered in C4, then sent to ram the wall. Connor, Rianna, Hopper and Jacobs then escape through the hole with a confiscated KPA Humvee. This is the last time the American Resistance allied Goliath is seen.
In Golden Gate, a KPA-controlled Goliath was used against the Resistance on the Golden Gate Bridge and was ultimately destroyed by Jacobs, who was riding gunner in a captured KPA Humvee, when it became stuck near an abandoned tanker truck. Jacobs fired on the tanker, destroying the Goliath, the Humvee, and knocking Connor, Rianna, Hopper and Jacobs to the ground nearby.
