High-Value Targets, or HVTs, are special enemies that can appear in Patrol or during Gambit matches.

Gambit
About halfway through the game, a High-Value Target will appear. It will be a glowing Major enemy of the same race as the one currently being fought. It will spawn at a Front, and move through them all the way to the opposite side. If not killed in time, it will disappear. When damaged, it will begin leaking Motes of Dark, and will release a shower of them when killed, alongside a Heavy Ammo Brick. A total of 12 motes can be collected from a High-Value Target. Its arrival, death, imminent disappearence and escape will be announced both by the Drifter and messages on screen.
