Reckoner (Kane's Wrath)

"Protecting Kane's servants!"

- Reckoner

The Reckoner is a Nod armoured personnel carrier in Kane's Wrath.

Background
Unlike its GDI counterpart, the Guardian APC, the Reckoner is unarmed and does not have firing ports. However, it has a larger crew capacity, being able to carry two squads of infantry. The Reckoner can be deployed into a stationary bunker to provide extra protection and will do so automatically if it sustains too much damage. In this state, not only can the infantry inside fire out, but it also gains enough room for three squads of infantry.

In-game
The Reckoner bunker has several unique characteristics. Once deployed, it cannot pack up into vehicle form again. It is able to protect the infantry inside from garrison-clearing weapons, but all of the garrisoned infantry will be killed if the bunker is destroyed. The deployed Reckoner cannot be repaired like a structure but can be repaired by repair drones from a war factory.

The Reckoner cannot be airlifted by a Carryall.
