The Firefly is a heavily armored ARC drone equipped with a gimbal-mounted flamethrower capable of scorching Raiders. It is frequently seen reinforcing Wasp and Hornet patrols as close-range fire support.
Combat tips
Upon entering combat mode, the Firefly extends its flamethrower, exposing an unarmored yellow fuel tank that takes increased damage. It then closes the distance to its target, scorching Raiders within range and dealing damage over time.
The Firefly uses four thrusters for flight and stabilization, all protected by thick armor. Destroying multiple thrusters destabilizes the drone, causing it to lose control of its flight. In this state, each collision with the environment inflicts heavy damage, often permanently disabling or destroying the machine. When destroyed, the Firefly ignites the surrounding area for a short duration.
Loot
The Firefly Burner is a unique item salvaged from a destroyed Firefly.
Codex entry
A nastier relative to the standard Hornet, it trades its electric shock for a flamethrower capable of engulfing Raiders in seconds. Its heavy plating makes it just as difficult to bring down as its shocking sibling, but the threat it poses up close is considerably worse.
They sometimes join regular Hornets and Wasps on their patrols. They often hang back until a Raider is already engaged before swooping in to flush them from cover. Veterans have learned to pick them out early – the fuel tank gives them a slightly different flight profile.
The flamethrower fuel tank is also their weakness. A well-placed shot turns the machine into a brief but spectacular fireball. Some Raiders have taken to igniting them deliberately near other ARC machines, though the timing required makes this a gambler's trick.
Apollo has been seen tinkering with its parts for weeks, muttering something about "portable heating solutions."
