Seeker

Grineer

For the pistol mod, see Seeker (Mod).

Seekers are tactical Grineer units with yellow-green armor and darker markings. Aside from using the  Kraken pistol, they will also deploy Latchers. This ability makes them unlikely to rush into the front lines like any regular Grineer unit. More durable than regular Grineer Lancers, these can be versatile opponents.

Behaviour

• Due to their habit of hiding away from actual combat, they can be more likely to use terminals in order to sound alarms and cause lockdowns than other units.
  • This also means that you will often find yourself constantly bombarded with Latchers from Seekers that you cannot see.
  • Use these time slots to your advantage as the Seeker is incapable of retaliating effectively, preferable to kill with a strong damage-per-bullet weapon to avoid being killed by their Kraken/Viper.
• Armed with a Kraken pistol.

Notes

• Seekers affected by  Nyx's Mind Control or Chaos will deploy Latchers which are allied, causing enemies to become distracted by them if they come nearby. Although weak to a single shot by any Grineer, a mind-controlled Seeker with duration can effectively spawn many Latchers, creating many possible entities that can redirect enemy fire.
• Shadow Seekers do not deploy Latchers.

Variants

•  Arid Seeker

Trivia

• The Seeker was added to the game in the 2013 Valentine's Day update, Update 6.3 (2013-02-14).
• The Frontier Seeker was originally a Seeker with its visor always up and wearing all-grey armor.
• The Latchers deployed by the Seeker can jump up ledges, like a normal unit would, using the same pause where the jumping animation would be, much to the amusement of any watching players.
