A medium sized drone with 2 armored front rotors, spawning commonly while Topside. The Hornet can be identified by its tall skinny body and armored plates on the front two rotors. It fires a taser when in an aggressive state at the Raider.
Usually found patrolling the skies alongside Wasps, in swarms of 2-3 drones. The Hornet also patrols around larger ARC threats on the ground.
Attack
The Hornet will aims a red laser from its gun before firing a slow traveling stun round. If hit the raider becomes stunned, preventing the player from moving or fighting back. The stun round does a substantial amount of damage to a Raiders shields and health.
Combat Tips
The Hornet is easy to take down using heavy ammo weapons. Destroying 2 of the Hornets rotors will disable the drones ability to fly, causing it to fall to the ground. If it falls from high enough, it will be destroyed upon impact with the ground.
- 1 Shot per Armor Plate on front rotor
- 1 Shot per Rotor (Front or Rear)
The attack can be dodged, multiple ways
- Changing position quickly after the Hornet fires
- Most effective method is using the ability Sprinting Dodge Roll (Spiriting and pressing your Dodge Roll key).
- Moving behind cover
- Sliding
- Hiding in Bushes & Foliage
Note:
While the front rotors are armoured, they are only armored where the armor plates are. This means that all 4 rotors can be destroyed with 1x heavy ammo.
