Faction: Corpus

Weaknesses: Radiation, Puncture

Drops: Rhino Warframe Component Blueprints (Chassis, Neuroptics, Systems)

Strategy: The Jackal is a large Corpus quadrupedal robot. It has four legs, each with its own health bar. The fight takes place in an arena with pillars for cover. The Jackal's attacks include a machine gun, a ground slam that creates an AoE shockwave, and a laser grid that sweeps the arena. To defeat it, you must destroy all four of its legs. Once a leg is destroyed, the Jackal will fall, exposing a weak point on its head. Deal as much damage as possible to the head before it recovers. Repeat this process until all legs are destroyed and its head is vulnerable for a final blow. Be mindful of the laser grid; jump or slide through it.

Recommended Warframes: Rhino (Iron Skin for survivability), Excalibur (Slash Dash for mobility), Volt (Speed for dodging).

Recommended Weapons: Weapons with high Puncture damage or Radiation elemental damage are effective against its robotic components. Shotguns are good for burst damage when it's down.
