The GTSG Cerberus


Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

The Cerberus is an advanced version of the Watchdog, with stronger weaponry and the ability to withstand more damage.

FS2 Tech Room Description

Until the advent of the GTSG Alastor, the GTSG Cerberus was the most advanced sentry gun emplacement available to Terran forces. They were vital to Terran defenses during the Great War, racking up over 100 kills of Vasudan and Shivan combat craft. But the current conflict has found them primarily in back-line roles, guarding installations deemed relatively safe from attack. With no mobility and only two Subach HL-7 turrets, they serve as more of a distraction than a viable threat to modern combat craft.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


The Cerberus partly fixes the problems with the GTSG Watchdog. With its Avenger or HL-7 turrets, it packs more punch. With 150 hitpoints, it can take one or two hits. However, in order to pose any real threat, there must be quite a few of them.
