The Hornet is a small, flying ARC machine that shoots stunning projectiles.
Attack
The Hornet will aim a red targeting laser before firing a stun round capable of delivering a debilitating shock to Raiders.
Combat Tips
Destroying two of a Hornet's thrusters may cause it to fall towards the ground. This can instantly destroy the Hornet if it drops from a great height.
- The Hornet's stun round can easily be dodged with good timing.
- Aim for its unarmored rear thrusters when possible.
- Heavy Ammo easily destroys the protective armor on the front thrusters.
- As always, Lure Grenades are your friend when stuck in a sticky situation.
Loot
The Hornet Driver is a unique item dropped by the Hornet that's used to upgrade the Gear Bench.
Codex Entry
The Hornet is a small flying drone, equipped with protective armor on its front side. It sports an electric shock-weapon that stuns and damages its targets.
It's thought to be designed as an enhanced patrol unit, working with Wasps to neutralize immediate and potential threats to probing sites and other machines.
Like the Wasp, damaging its thrusters inhibits its flying capabilities. However, since the front thrusters are covered in armor, it takes a steady hand and skilled shot to reach them.
The Hornet Driver is a useful part of the drone's internals. It's speculated by Apollo to control the machine's behavior, and produce the electric shocks for its weapons. Throwing a Hornet Driver at a foe causes it to immediately discharge, stunning its target.
