The Snitch is an unarmed ARC reconnaissance drone that diligently scans the environment for human activity. It's equipped with the ability to call in reinforcements from orbit.

Combat

The Snitch does not have any weapons or armor. When it enters its alerted state, the Snitch will emit a loud siren to alert nearby ARC before calling for reinforcements comprising Wasps and Hornets.

Weaknesses & Hit Points

The thrusters of the Snitch can easily be identified by the white sections on its hull. Destroying two of them may cause the Snitch to begin falling towards the ground. This can instantly destroy the Snitch if it drops from a great height. However, a Snitch with one missing thruster will fly much more erratically, making it more difficult to hit.

• Avoid being spotted by moving behind cover or hiding in foliage.
• Destroy it before it can call for reinforcements.

Loot

The Snitch Scanner is a unique item dropped by the Snitch that's used to upgrade the Utility Station.

Codex Entry

Pesky and vigilant, the Snitch is an unarmed reconnaissance drone, equipped with advanced scanning technology. They are frequently found patrolling strategic areas or scouting ahead for other enemy units. If it detects any human threat, it calls in reinforcements from orbit.

The purpose of the Snitch seems to be to uphold communication networks and coordinate orbital drops. Shani refers to them as ARC's "eyes in the sky"; calling in reinforcements and maintaining operational awareness.

The ability to call in reinforcements make Snitches a high-priority target for Raiders who want to avoid escalating encounters. However, some Raiders have been known to intentionally aggravate it in a bid to conveniently harvest Wasp and Hornet Drivers.

The Snitch Scanner, the stand-out component inside this drone, has been repurposed by many a Raider. Most notably, it triggers upon being thrown, calling in reinforcements that target any perceived threats in the Scanner's vicinity.
