The A.T.A.C., ATAC, or A-TAC (Agile Tactical Air Component) is a Helghast flying assault vehicle, capable of attacking vehicles or infantry.

Specifications[]

The ATAC was the most advanced fighter aircraft designed by the Helghast. It was originally transported to Vekta for combat trials by the Elite Guard. Though originally built to offer room to a single pilot, later models were designed to be operated unmanned via remote control, due to a high number of crashes during live tests.

Though it has been under development for quite some time, the Helghast have gathered useful data during trial runs which has enabled them to make useful development modifications before the ATAC would go into final production. However, after the destruction of the SD Platform on Vekta, the Helghast have been forced to push the ATAC into active service as part of their defense against the ISA invasion.

Weapons[]

The ATAC is a relatively small, fast, and extremely maneuverable attack vehicle that is armed with a variety of devastating weaponry. The ATAC is equipped with three independently functioning weapon systems: an auto-tracking machine gun, four missile launchers, and two mounted machine guns.

Killzone 2[]

The ATAC first appears during the mission Blood Meridian, however it is only seen during a cutscene. The first official battle with an ATAC is fought by Sev after being stuck outside of Colonel Radec's office in Radec Academy. If you fire rockets at the ATAC unstunned, it will dodge it.

To defeat the ATAC you need to shoot the electric rods while the ATAC is in the vicinity of them. While the ATAC is temporarily malfunctioning, shoot at it or use the rocket launchers. Repeat until destroyed.

If you need to find a decent cover, rush one level down and hide in the tunnels while Sev regenerates. The last ATAC is found near Visari's Palace, before the fight with Radec. The last ATAC can be easily dispatched due to proficient weapons (Grenade Launcher, LMG), distractions (ISA Soldiers, Team Alpha Members) and proper cover (Trenches, tunnels and tall obstructions).

Killzone 3[]

The ATAC is encountered in the mission "Stahl Arms Infiltration".

Killzone Shadow Fall[]

The ATAC appears in chapter five, The Helghast, when Lucas Kellan passes through security and enters the Helghan sector of Vekta City. The ATAC is used for defense and security purposes, using a laser detector to detect hostile personnel. Once it detects its target, the ATAC calls for backup and deals with the target itself.

Trivia[]

  • The ATAC was designed to be a flying machine agile like a helicopter and armored like a tank. Its body is based on a wasp with a gun as the sting pointing forward and the upper levitation wings as the unfolded wings of a bat.[1]
