Revenant 8991-PX

The Revenant 8991-PX is a boss enemy in Ion Fury. It is a large flying vehicle walker armed rapid-firing homing missile launchers. At the start of the game, Shelly witnesses its fire power and mayhem it caused through the city via a hole it blasted in the club she's hanging out. The Revenant 8991-PX is the boss of the Institutionalized chapter. That bossfight be her second encounter and first and last confrontation with this monstrosity by the office floor of Jadus Heskel in the complex plaza.

Being a large flying personnel carrier capable of air maneuvers, it can unload waves of Mechsects, Drones, and Greater Cultists in hordes to pre-determined spots as it hovers above the building's roof. Its only attack of homing missile barrage is easy enough to dodge as you advance distance rapidly back and forth but if you stagger for a second or blocked off by deployed enemies, the repetitive blasts from barrage of twenty to forty missiles sure to blow you away. Its weak spots are the back opening where it deploys enemies on the ground and the bottom plating, while other plated areas are too well-armored to receive damage.

Luckily, player fights this huge air ship with a huge stash of Chain gun ammo nearby which provides infinite supply. While its damage output may seem not satisfying against it, Chain gun is the best option player have in this fight with its tight spread for aiming on the move and fire rate. Other options will lack the accuracy on the move as you try to dodge the projectile barrages bombarding the area. On certain circumstances other weapons can be used safely when shot on its back opening as it flies over and deploying enemies, proven the weapon used have long enough effective range.

Main problem while dealing with the Revenant is not evading its main attack but being unable to clear mass crowd of enemies it deployed quickly to dodge a follow up barrage of missiles in a timely manner. Making use of Clusterpucks and Penetrator as much as Chain gun, is important to sweep clear enemy waves to focus dealing damage to the boss properly. Killing Greater Cultists with Puck tosses and Chain gun headshots, can be utilized to harvest armor shards from them for sustainability. When you failed to clear trash, best action is staying behind cover as Revenant bombard the area and shooting around to pick targets. In an unfortunate tangle, you may find yourself targeted by a huge missile volley coming your way with so little space to move.
