The Behemoth was a GDI artillery walker that entered service after the Second Tiberium War. It was the direct successor of the first-generation Juggernaut and only appears in Kane's Wrath.
History[]
| “ | Let's walk! - Behemoth moving |
” |
After-action analysis revealed the Juggernaut artillery walkers were ill-equipped to repel close quarters assaults from infantry. As an interim solution, Juggernauts were modified with a dorsal infantry-carrying pod. These infantry-carrying Juggernauts proved successful and the type was authorized for full development, and nicknamed the Behemoth.[1]
The Behemoth combat trials were carried out by the Steel Talons experimental combat technology division. It was expected the vehicle would see general deployment afterwards.[1]
The Behemoth was succeeded by a newer Juggernaut design, which ended up being the general issue vehicle for the Third Tiberium War. The new Juggernaut did not have the infantry pod, but had the ability to bombard long distance targets.
Abilities[]
 |
Evacuate | Evacuate orders the infantry unit stationed inside the vehicle to immediately exit the Behemoth (Ctrl+A). |
| Vehicle Crusher | This unit can crush most Tier 1 and Tier 2 vehicles as well as heavy infantry by simply walking over them, and can do so without suffering any penalties to movement speed. |
In-game[]
Aside from the garrison pod, Behemoths look virtually identical to standard Juggernauts, sporting three large assault cannons that can pummel enemies from an impressive distance. However, the Behemoth lacks the Juggernaut's ability to fire on enemies from across the battlefield with a Sniper Team's aid, as snipers were not a part of the Steel Talons' arsenal.
Assessment[]
Pros[]
- Garrison pod allows for limited defense against enemy units that get too close, it also is the only artillery unit in the game with anti-air capabilities as it can be garrisoned with a missile squad
- Devastating firepower against both vehicles and structures including epic units and other slow moving targets
- Capable of crushing vehicles underfoot
- Excellent in urban combat due to fire ports
- Exemplary in both offensive and defensive roles
- Build cost is not altered
- Does splash damage
- Can be used as an improvised base defense (as Steel Talons lack Sonic Emitters)
Cons[]
- Only available to Steel Talons
- Remains a favorite target for commandos and aircraft
- Slow moving speed
- Long preparation time of pre-attack, and turret turning speed is painfully slow
- Retains the Juggernaut's relatively weak armor
- Easily overwhelmed by cheap units or higher-tier vehicles
- Like other artillery units, it cannot fire on targets too close
- Incapable of firing across the battlefield on coordinates provided by Sniper Teams
- In order to maximize garrison efficiency, must cooperate with other factions as Steel Talons doesn't have advanced infantry
- Fast moving units like attack bikes can evade its fire and kill it up close
