'''Reaper Drone''' collects resources for the [[Hierarchy]]. Almost everything on the map can be collected, inorganic and organic, but different objects yield different amounts of resources. The Drone collects resources automatically when built but may benefit from manual control in order to maximize its potential. Normally it harvests piles to gain 18 resources per second, but some objects (such as cars, telephone poles, electric poles, humans, and especially cows) may be harvested instantly for a large resource gain. Its harvesting beam can also be used as a weapon against ground. |

Reaper Drones harvesting Cattle.
General
Reaper Drone collects resources for the Hierarchy. Almost everything on the map can be collected, inorganic and organic, but different objects yield different amounts of resources. The Drone collects resources automatically when built but may benefit from manual control in order to maximize its potential. Normally it harvests piles to gain 18 resources per second, but some objects (such as cars, telephone poles, electric poles, humans, and especially cows) may be harvested instantly for a large resource gain. Its harvesting beam can also be used as a weapon against ground.
While Unadiviesed Reaper Drones can also target enemy troops, While it is not the most effective tactic (since it can only target one object) it is still an option since it does harvest units almost instantly.
