War Blimp

The War Blimp is the third and twelfth boss in Heavy Weapon. It appears at the end of the third mission and the twelfth mission as an upgraded version.

Appearence
Like the name says, it is a big war blimp that is equipped with roto-mines as it's primary weapon and a satellite dish in which it shoots a laser that calls a meteor shower.

Difficulty
Unlike the two previous bosses, the War Blimp is a different opponnent with new and dangerous attacks that the player has never seen before. The first thing that players struggle with this boss is the Roto-Mines, these mines will start homing onto the player until it manages to get a hit. Fortunately the player can dodge them but it's very tricky to do so as the roto-mines fall faster over time. The second is it's tractor beam. After shooting out a bunch of it's mines, a satellite dish appears from the top of the blimp, then it will start shooting out a tractor beam that calls in a meteor shower, causing random meteors to fall down to hit the player. It's a challenging enemy to defeat but as long you're protected with a max shield and have a bunch of spared nukes, this fight should be pretty easy.

1st Encounter
First, it will attack with Roto-Mines which will follow the player until it hits them. Then, a satellite dish will rise from its top and shoot a tractor beam, which will summon a meteor shower. It's best save your nukes for this boss because it's pretty hard.

2nd Encounter
In the second encounter, the attacks will be in the same order (it will start with Roto-Mines and then the tractor beam). This time, it is tougher to beat, and the attacks are faster than usual. A bit harder than the original War Blimp, so be careful!

 * It is known to be one of the most hardest bosses in the game, according to new players who struggle with the game, even though it is the third boss in the game.
 * It is unknown where the cockpit can be found on the blimp, but mostly it's the 4 squares that look like glass.
