Titan (Bureau)

It serves as the Boss of the Spire. A Leviathan monolith, it unfolds and reassembles into a geometric weapon of mass destruction, firing beams of burning Plasma energy. The only good thing about seeing it in such a mode, is that an apparent control core appears, from which the beam is emitted. This essentially is a Mexican Standoff-- and here you've brought hand weapons to a heavy artillery fight.

The Blaster Launcher will become available to you in the same mission as the Titan's appearance, and it holds a total of 9 rounds (and fires in 3-shot bursts, so you have 3 shots), so using it is extremely helpful in this fight. Scoring a hit on the Titan's core with the Blaster decimates it's HP. If you Lift an Engineer's turret, it may get in some shots as well. As it is a flying unit, ground-based weapons are, naturally, useless. There is a Supply Box in the room before, allowing you to change out weapons and packs: for Carter you may consider either a pack with Damage Reduction, or the pack that increases clip & carry capacity (the Blaster Launcher would then have a 4-shot clip, and 8 shots in reserve). Another good Agent makeup is two Scouts: the two guaranteed Critical Hits softens the target, and alternating with Decoy deployments may give Carter a reprieve from the devastating attack of the Titan.

For defense, your best bet is to run (hold Left Shift) and dodge-roll (C) behind heavy cover to try to get it's targeting laxer to lose tracking of Carter, as the Titan will almost always focus it's fire on him. The Recon's Decoy may buy you a few seconds, and Shields may at least reduce damage.

When the Titan does fire, the blast zone remains bathed in plasma, so don't linger if you do get hit.
