When Reavers finish a raid on a known lane of traffic, they string up the bodies in a place where they can be found by rescue parties and leave a trap attached to the hull of the bait vessel to cripple rescue ships. This means, of course, that the ship will be left stranded- and easy prey for the Reavers when they return to check their traps. Once a civilian ship is boarded by Reavers, it is doomed, as the close confines of a ship are natural settings for the savage melee combat preferred by Reavers.

When raiding settlements on the ground, Reavers often target vulnerable, largely undeveloped, or developing communities without any warning, perhaps inserting raiders directly from a vessel or landing a small distance from town.

Reavers will use large hover vehicles or small patrol vessels equipped with non-lethal armement to take live prey when chasing down fleeing peoples on vehicles or horseback. It is not known if Reavers previously scout their targets before raiding or simply pick their targets on a whim whilst slowly moving farther and farther away from Reaver space as they wipe out settlements. Reaver raids are devastating, with no survivors under normal circumstances.

Reavers in space battles display the same degree of suicidal insanity that they do on land. They seem to display the same preference for close combat when in their craft.

Reavers slam into enemy starships without pause, heedless to the damage to their own hulls, and their ships may likely be armed with folding 'arms' ending in large blades that may be used to rend and tear rammed vessels. The sheer weight and inertia of their ships may buckle warship hulls. Their ships are also armed with conventional starcraft weapons, as well as electromagnetic pulse beams, which aid in their capturing of potential victims by shutting down electrical systems. When Malcolm Reynolds provoked the Reavers by blowing up a c rab ship , most or all of the Reaver fleet pursued Serenity in unison.

Utterly fearless, they will charge until they are wiped out - casualties don't seem to matter much to a Reaver band.

Reavers seem to prefer to subdue their victims. Those unfortunates who are rendered helpless or fall are either raped to death, eaten alive, flayed, or commonly all three, as well as other horrific depravities.

After they finally escape into death, the Reavers will sew their skins into their clothing, and may very well either hang up the corpses as a gruesome trophy or strap them to their starcraft.

Reaver craft are almost inevitably festooned with at least a few skeletons. On a planetary raid, Reavers target settlements without strong defenses. After raping, murdering and eating the inhabitants, Reavers will burn the settlement to the ground. Most of the time Reavers stick to their hunting territories; however, over the few years directly prior to the pilot episode, the Reavers had begun to expand from their territories. This was likely caused by the depletion of food sources as settlers learned to steer clear.
