The Fireball is a fast-moving, ball-shaped ARC machine, usually spotted rolling around indoor areas. It spews fire at any perceived threat in its vicinity, roasting anyone not made out of fire-resistant materials.
With its speed and flame-throwing capabilities, it can cause great trouble for Raiders; in particular when encountered in groups or alongside Ticks.
Attack
When in its aggressive state, the Fireball will roll towards its target and open its front panel, unleashing a long burst of flames using its flamethrower. The Fireballs attack deals serious damage if caught in the flames. Once the Raider is on-fire, they will continue to receive burning damage that lasts for a few seconds (regardless of if it is done attacking or has been destroyed).
Combat Tips
While the front is open, its unarmored core is exposed. The Fireball is a relatively weak target and can be destroyed with reasonable haste with most weapons.
The attack can be avoided in multiple ways
- Shooting the Fireball prior to it attacking
- Vaulting over edges where the Fireball cannot navigate
- Creating distance between you and the Fireball
- Dodge Roll
Note: Fireballs coat the nearby surroundings in a blanket of fire once destroyed that will light Raiders on fire.
