Pesky and vigilant, the '''Snitch''' is an unarmed reconnaissance drone, equipped with an advanced scanning technology. They are frequently found patrolling strategic areas or scouting ahead for other enemy units. If it detects any human threat, it calls in reinforcements from orbit.
A small unarmored drone that commonly spawns Topside. Identified by its circular shape, and blue scanning beam emitted from the bottom. The Snitch has 3 rotors that keep it in the air. When in an aggressive state the scanner turns red and calls back up in when a Raider is spotted.

The ability to call in reinforcements make Snitches a high-risk target for Raiders who want to avoid escalating encounters. However, some Raiders have been known to intentionally aggravate it in a bid to conveniently harvest [[Wasp Driver|Wasp]] and [[Hornet Driver|Hornet Drivers]].
