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
Destroying 2 of the Hornets rotors will disable the drones ability to fly, causing it to fall to 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.
- 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 a Sprinting Dodge Roll
- Moving behind cover
- Sliding
- Hiding in Bushes & Foliage
- Staying out of Line of sight when in Alerted State (Yellow)
Note:
While the front rotors are armored, they are only armored where the armor plates are. This means that all 4 rotors can be destroyed with 1x heavy ammo.
