The Hornet is a small flying drone. Equipped with protective armor on its front side. It sports an electric shock-weapon that stuns and damages its targets.

It’s thought to be designed as an enhanced patrol unit, working with Wasps to neutralize immediate and potential threats to probing sites and other machines.

Like the Wasp damaging its thruster inhibits its flying capabilities. However, since the front thrusters are covered in armor, it takes a steady hand and skilled shot to reach them.

Attack

The Hornet will aim a red laser from its weapon before firing a slow traveling stun round. If a raider gets hit by it they become stunned, preventing them from moving or fighting back. The stun round does a substantial amount of damage to the Raider's shields and health.

Combat Tips

Destroying two of the Hornet's thrusters will cause the ARC to start falling towards the ground. If it falls from a high enough height it can be instantly destroyed by it's own momentum. When any flying ARC is stuck on the ground long enough it will burst into flames.

Heavy Ammo can remove the armor plating on the two front thrusters quicker than most other types of Ammo. The rear thrusters are unarmored and can be destroyed easily with any ammo type.

Attacks can be avoided by:

Changing position quickly after the Hornet fires
Dodge Roll
Sliding
Moving behind cover
Hiding in bushes & foliage
Staying out of Line of sight when in Alerted State

Loot
