__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Raider Boss''' was the final [[Enemies|enemy]] of the [[Area 51 Event]] and only appeared in [[Area 51]]. Like most major bosses, it had high health and walked extremely slowly. This boss was challenging due to the strength of its abilities.

The '''Raider Boss''' had four abilities:
#Its first one was its ''Raid Gun Shot''. The '''Raider Boss''' could shoot at three different towers, or the same tower three times with this attack. The effects did not stack if a tower was hit more than twice.
#Its second ability was its ''Rocket Launcher''. Similar to the [[Commando]], the boss would fire four rockets from its quad launcher on its back. These rockets would explode as it hit the ground, stunning all towers caught in the explosion for an extensive period of time.
#Its third ability sent in groups of [[Raider 1]]s and [[Raider 2]]s, which would assist the '''Raider Boss''' by stunning towers.
#Its fourth, and final, ability was the most deadly attack. The ''Fatal Raid Gun Shot'' involved the '''Raider Boss''' kneeling down, taking aim and firing a shot at a humanoid tower within its range. This killed the tower, causing it to stop attacking and eventually despawn.

==Appearance==
The '''Raider Boss''' had green skin, black gloves and wore dark grey metallic armor. Its legs were navy and it wielded a green raider gun. On its back was a quad launcher which could fire rockets. The '''Raider Boss''' had red eyes and had a grey bandanna wrapped around its mouth and neck. Black particles were emitted from its torso.

==Strategy==
*Spamming cheap towers may help with increasing the pool of towers the '''Raider Boss''' may shoot with the ''Fatal Raid Gun Shot''.
**The '''Raider Boss''' is immobilized while performing its ''Fatal Raid Gun Shot''. This gives an opportunity for towers to attack it, so long they are not stunned.
*When a tower is hit by the ''Fatal Raid Gun Shot'', you can sell it immediately to recoup some of the cost. You must do this very quickly as the tower despawns a few seconds after it is hit.
*Try not to upgrade towers to Level 5, unless you can afford it, as if they are hit by the ''Fatal Raid Gun Shot'', most of the investment is wasted.
**The '''Raider Boss''' will not target the [[Farm]], [[Sentry]], [[Turret]], [[Military Base]] or spawned [[Units]].
***Group [[Turret]]s and [[Sentry|Sentries]] in an area without other towers nearby to maximize their damage output. They can only be stunned via the ''Rocket Launcher'' attack.
***[[Units]] (like those from the [[Military Base]]) are effective against the '''Raider Boss''' as they cannot be stunned or killed by it.
*Try to space out your towers. A hit from the [[Raider 2]] or ''Rocket Launcher'' will disable most of your towers if they are grouped together.
*Cheap, fast-firing towers are recommended against the '''Raider Boss'''. This includes the [[Crook Boss]] and [[Minigunner]], upgraded to Level 2 or 3.
*The [[Pyromancer]] can be used to slow the '''Raider Boss''' down, as well as provide a distraction if you do not have the [[Scout]] on hand.
*The [[Rocketeer|Rockete]]<nowiki/>r and [[Demoman]] can only deal direct damage towards the '''Raider Boss''' as it is immune to splash damage. It is recommended to sell these towers for towers that do not deal splash damage, like the [[Minigunner]].

*The gun the '''Raider Boss''' wielded was the {{RLinkC|98411436|Rapid Launch Blaster}} found in the Roblox catalog.
*The bandana used by the '''Raider Boss''' is the {{RLinkC|74221074|Renegade Bandana}} accessory from the Roblox catalog.
*The '''Raider Boss''' was planned to walk much faster, but its speed was decreased to make the event easier for newer players.
