Pesky and vigilant, the Snitch is an unarmed reconnaissance drone, equipped with an 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.
