**Designation:** Harvester **Classification:** Collection / Heavy Support **Physical Description:** Massive six-legged units the size of small trucks. Low-slung, beetle-like chassis designed for stability rather than speed. Multiple articulated arms ending in cutting tools, gripping claws, and collection receptacles. A reinforced hopper on the dorsal surface stores gathered materials. Optical sensors are minimal and recessed, suggesting they rely on other units for threat detection. Heavy armor plating across all surfaces. Deep, resonant hum when operational—audible from significant distance. **Behavioral Patterns:** Harvesters methodically collect organic material, salvage, and occasionally corpses—Machine and human alike. Their purpose remains unclear; theories range from raw material processing to something more disturbing. They largely ignore humans unless directly attacked or obstructed. When threatened, they defend themselves with surprising brutality, using cutting arms and sheer mass. They do not pursue. Stalkers and Sentinels frequently escort Harvesters in high-value collection areas. **Threat Level:** Low (if avoided) / Extreme (if engaged) **Known Weaknesses:** Leg joints are heavily armored but can be disabled with sustained concentrated fire, immobilizing the unit. Optical sensors, while recessed, can be targeted to blind it. The collection hopper is less armored than the chassis—explosive ordinance inside can trigger catastrophic failure. Slow turning radius makes flanking viable. They cannot climb or navigate tight spaces. **Salvage Value:** Extremely high. Heavy-duty servo motors, industrial cutting tools, high-capacity power systems, reinforced armor plating. A single disabled Harvester can supply the Foundry for weeks—if you can kill one without losing half your squad. **Scavenger Field Notes:** "Saw one carry a dead Sentinel into its hopper once. Just... picked it up like garbage. Didn't care about the firefight still happening twenty meters away. I don't know what they're building with all that scrap, and I don't want to know." — Emil Beaumont
