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.
