Unlike the other two Tank Exosuits, which do most of their best work up close, Krieger is a versatile heavy suit with the ability to do serious damage in close proximity to enemies or from a distance, which can be attributed to its enormous primary weapon and overwhelming rate of fire. It also has a large shield ability, allowing Krieger to protect itself and its comrades from harm while launching a counter-attack. Don’t let its aggressive style fool you, Krieger isvery much a team player. Here is everything you need to know to become an expert on the gun-slinging Tank Exosuit.
Krieger’s Abilities and Stats in Exoprimal
Krieger is a slow but heavily armored Exosuit designed to absorb immense amounts of damage while dealing just as much back. With its overwhelming firepower and ability to project a protective shield,its primary role is to protect its teammates by attracting the attention of foes while picking them off with its arsenal. Krieger is one of the most durable Exosuits in the game, with a staggering 900 health points to work with. Here is a breakdown of the behemothExosuit’s skills and abilities;
Damage
K-40 Repulsor Mini Gun
Fires a minigun that overwhelms foes with its volume of projectiles.
Thruster Dash
Performs a rocket-propelled evasive maneuver in one direction. It will knock back any enemies in the way, except for large dinosaurs.
Dome Shield
Deploys a large protective dome of energy that shields the occupants from harm. Effective in delaying the advance of smaller dinosaurs, but can be broken down by larger dinos. Causes stun damage to larger dinosaurs.
Overdrive: Todesregen
Uses a laser targeting system to launch a bombardment of explosives where Krieger directs the assault.
Other Skills: Hover (Krieger can temporarily ascend using the rockets under its feet).
The Best Modules and Rig for Krieger in Exoprimal
Despite its high health count, Kriegerbenefits most from the Aid Rig, as it gives it the opportunity to provide a temporary source of restoration when Support Exosuits are unavailable. It is an effective offensive Exosuit, and while you can never have too many attacking options,the less aggressive Rigs are best used with Krieger to make up for its limitations. If the Aid Rig is not a favored option, the Catapult is a great accessory to help Krieger escape overwhelming situations when its Dome Shield is not available. Out of the attacking Rigs, the Blade is the most suitable option as it enables the Exosuit to temporarily incapacitate a group of dinosaurs to buy it time.

The Modules inExoprimalspecific to Kriegerare among the best to choose to maximize the Tank’s performance. For slot one, Krieger has theScatter Shot and Rapid Shot Modules, the latter of which will allow the Exosuit to fire at its maximum rate without a warm-up, once it is upgraded to level five. Slot two concerns itself with Krieger’s secondary abilities, withthe Electro Missileincreasing the Stunlock Missile’s performance, andthe Sturdy Domecreating a stronger Dome Shield. Of those two, the Sturdy Dome is the best option as the shield is arguably Krieger’s best asset. The third slot has Exosuit-specific modules, Thrust Enhancer and Thruster Dash+, both of which benefit the performance of the Thruster Dash ability.
While the Thruster Dash modules are great options to improve Krieger’s evasive ability, the third module slot is better utilized withthe Regeneration Module. While Krieger has a high health count, players would be wise to not take up the opportunity to reduce the time it takes for the Exosuit to begin repairing itself.
Tips for Playing Krieger in Exoprimal
Among the Tank Exosuits in Exoprimal, Krieger has the greatest potential to amass huge scores because of the abilities it possesses, so players would benefit from understanding how best to utilize these skills for the benefit of the team as well as their individual performance. While Krieger shares a shielding ability with Roadblock, its ability to produce a dome to effectively create space between the team and enemies can be a big momentum changer, especially if teammates areinside the dome picking off dinosaurs.
The Dome Shield is Krieger’s most effective point scorer, as players get rewarded for the amount of damage they prevent enemies from inflicting on its team, so make use of this ability as frequently as possible. With that said, timing is of the essence to maximize its effectiveness, so players should wait for the swarms of smaller dinosaurs to start to get overwhelming before deploying it, as the dinosaurs will already be primed to attack. If the field of enemies is rather thin, it is unlikely that the shield will be effective.

Strategically, Krieger is at its best in the thick of the action, soplayers should not be afraid to test the boundaries of the Exosuit’s heavy armor and make use of its abilities as frequently as possible. The Stunlock Missile is a great ability to use on dinosaurs big or small, and when combined with the Dome Shieldcan produce some high-scoring plays. The one limitation to be aware of is the minigun’s heating meter, so be sure to attack in shorter bursts and press the reload button whenever there is a lapse in the action to stop the gun from overheating and causing a delay.
What Krieger lacks in speed and agility, it makes up for in raw power and heavy armor. It is a great Exosuit for delivering as much damage as possible and is a suitable choice for beginners andExoprimalexperts alike.
