During the Roughnecks mission to Whiskey Outpost, several Hoppers stalk them, even picking off the Roughnecks sergeant when he moved alone to higher ground to gain a radio signal. Later when the Arachnids launch their attack against Whiskey Outpost the Warrior Bugs are supported by several dozen Hoppers. One Hopper that is hit and killed in mid-flight by Johnny Rico falls to the ground over General Owen, crushing him.
