| − | However, the Habitat walker is valuable for production on the basis that it's units are fairly cheap by Hierarchy standards and, unlike the Assembly walker, it can accept a back up production pod in addition to two weapon enhancements. However, the Habitat walker should '''never''' be used in a Hierarchy mirror match as it will quickly lose out to the more powerful Assembly and none of the Hierarchy infantry are particularly good against walkers. |

General
The Habitat Walker is the infantry production structure for the Hierarchy as well as an assault unit. The Habitat Walker uses a moderately powerful plasma cannon to attack ground and can instantly destroy almost any unit or structure by trampling. It cannot trample the Arrival Site, Citadel, Command Core, Peacebringer, or heroes. Its plasma is good against infantry, vehicles, Walkers, and Masari Dark Matter Armor.

The Habitat Walker has 4 body hardpoint sockets with 400 health each and 4 leg hardpoint sockets with 350 health each. When a leg socket is destroyed, the Walker's speed is reduced. When a body socket is destroyed, a Coolant Node is revealed. If 2 Coolant Nodes are destroyed, the Habitat Walker explodes.

Tips
- While the Habitat Walker is faster and cheaper to build than an Assembly Walker, covering all its sockets costs more and it deals less damage while being easier to kill.
- The Habitat Walker is especially questionable in Hierarchy mirror matches, as it is weaker than an Assembly Walker head-to-head, while Hierarchy infantry is unsuited to anti-Walker duty compared to vehicles.
