- For the similar killstreak in Modern Warfare 3 , see Predator Missile.
The Reaper is a 9 point Strike Package reward that appears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
It calls in a Reaper UAV and allows the user to spot targets from the air, and launch missiles at them. The player can launch fourteen[1] missiles of similar power to the Predator Missile, but unlike the Predator Missile the Reaper's missiles will be laser-guided from the Reaper's camera, opposed to an on-board missile camera. The reaper seems to leave after all missiles are fired or after a certain time limit. Any place targeted by the Reaper drone will be lazed red, thus giving those on the ground warning to where the Reaper drone operator is aiming. Unlike other UAVs, the Reaper also has a set of flares to divert one enemy missile. The faction announcer calls the Reaper an AGM (Air-to-Ground Missile).[2]
Usage
When the Reaper is called in, the user will view the map through the camera on the Reaper. Pressing the shoot button causes a missile to fire, and the rocket can be steered by moving the reticule. The rocket follows wherever the player aims, allowing it to easily hit moving targets or targets behind cover. After firing a counter appears which says the height of the missile making it easier to see when the rocket will hit the ground. The player can zoom in and get a better view on the map by pressing the ADS button. The Reaper has a limited time of usage similar to the AC-130. The Reaper orbits the map quite high in the air, making it able to shoot down enemy aircraft quite easily.
Trivia
- The Reaper was originally going to fire like the Predator Missile, but was later changed.
- The targeting laser that the Reaper emits can easily be seen on the ground, making it easier to evade.
- The title which is awarded after calling in 40 Reapers says "AGM Expert" instead of "Reaper Expert"
- The emblem for calling in 15 Reapers actually shows an MQ-1 Predator instead of an MQ-9 Reaper.
- Unlike the Predator Missile, the Reaper's missiles do NOT have a boost function.
- The player can only launch one AGM at a time, meaning that the player must wait before the missile hits the ground before firing another one.
- The Reaper is absent in the Wii version of the game due to RAM limitations.
