The Wasp is a small, thruster-power drone, flying in tidy patrols with other Wasps and the occasional Hornet. When engaged they switch to erratic flight patterns, making them a challenging target. They are equipped with light guns, and seem to actively scan for potential threats, sometimes mistaking humanoid statues for Raiders.

The Wasp’s thrusters are exposed and unarmored, giving practiced Raiders a surefire way to send them crashing down.

Attack

A Wasp will aim a small red laser from its machine gun, before firing volleys of bullets in short bursts that deal a small amount of damage each.

Combat Tips

Destroying two of a Wasp'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 its own momentum. When any flying ARC is stuck on the ground long enough it will burst into flames. If one thruster is missing a Wasp will fly much more erratically, making them much harder to hit.

Attacks can be avoided by:

  • Moving behind cover
  • Hiding in bushes & foliage
  • Staying out of line of sight when in alerted state

Loot
