The Bolroci Workshop Attack Bike is a variant in the Chopper line of raiding vehicles, employed by the Banished.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The Bolroci Workshop Chopper is a design by Bolroci Workshop that utilized the shared knowledge of six disparate Jiralhanae clans.[1][4] The majority of Choppers within the Banished fleet can be traced back to the Bolroci line. It is generally more lightly-armoured than other Chopper variants, but still nonetheless effective in combat.[2]

Like others of the line, the Bolroci Chopper is equipped with twin spike cannons and a sundering ram, used for plowing through infantry and vehicles.[2][3]

Usage[edit]

The Bolroci Workshop Chopper is used by the Banished occupation fleet led by Escharum.[1] The Banished made use of this Chopper variant as they fought the United Nations Space Command for control of Installation 07 in 2560.[1]

Variants[edit]

  • Catulus Chopper.

Production notes[edit]

During Season 01: Heroes of Reach of Halo Infinite the Chopper was glitched and could not destroy other vehicles by ramming, instead only doing damage while stationary or moving slowly. This was later fixed in Season 02: Lone Wolves.
