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 Wasp 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."
