Zig

A Zig

Zigs (Japanese: ジグ, Jigu) are a type of machine in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are stationary turrets used by the Ganglion, and make up for their lack of mobility with very long detection range. These abilities are hampered during electromagnetic storms.

Description

"These autonomous Ganglion cannons can detect enemies with astounding efficiency. Dense armor gives them a sweeping advantage in head-to-head shootouts, while the weapons affixed to either arm can be customized for all forms of warfare, including anti-personnel, anti-surface, and anti-air."

"In one past conflict, hundreds of such units were deployed on the deck of a space carrier as a form of extra firepower. The operation was written off as a failure, however, due to the massive costs incurred."

Variants

Zigs have two possible color variants:

• Chrome zigs have a bright chrome appearance, and can drop Hi-Spec Sensor Modules.
• Steel zigs have a slightly darker steel appearance, and can drop Upgraded Sensor Parts.

In addition, the weapon pods attached to the sides have four variants:

• Flamethrower pods: gun-like arms. Can use Flame Launcher art. May drop Standard Shafts.
• Gatling pods: spheres with large claw-like protrusions. Can use Beam Gatling art. May drop Genuine Shafts.
• Cannon pods: large shield-like arms. Can use Flame Cannon art. May drop Upgraded Shaft Parts.
• Jamming pods: half-rings with spikes. Can use Jam and Debilitating Energy arts. May drop Quality Shafts.
