Rachni Brood Warriors are rachni who are much larger and stronger than normal Rachni Soldiers. They are the 'elder males' of the hive that usually mate with the queen. According to historical information, it is said that they only attack when the hive is particularly strained for warriors. The Brood Warrior has abilities comparable to a standard Rachni Soldier, although its attacks inflict more damage. It is also unique among rachni in that it possesses some biotic abilities. Brood Warriors will use Warp, occasionally place a squad member in Stasis, and appear to use a form of Barrier.

Tactics Edit

Even though Brood Warriors are only encountered a few times, every encounter should be treated with caution. Their attacks do a lot of damage, and up close, they can easily kill in just a few hits. Keep your distance from these huge rachni for that reason. Their biotics are a big problem, but you can use biotics against them as well. Like Rachni Soldiers, when they get hit by biotics, then tend to go onto their bellies for a few seconds, this can give you some breathing room and a chance to shoot them full of holes. Because Brood Warriors also have a lot of health, you will have to keep shooting at them until they go down.

A few Brood Warriors are encountered while you are in the Mako, but they are usually encountered with Rachni Soldiers, so keep your distance because their acid spit goes right through the Mako's shields. The easiest way to kill Brood Warriors from the Mako is shoot them with the main gun, then use the machine gun to finish them off.
