The Wasp is an agile ARC machine that's often observed flying in small swarms comprising of other Wasps and the occasional Hornet.
Combat
The Wasp will aim a red targeting laser before shooting a volley of projectiles. It remains stationary when firing.
Tips
Destroying two of a Wasp's thrusters may cause it to fall towards the ground. This can instantly destroy the Wasp if it drops from a great height. However, a Wasp 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 lock onto you with its red targeting laser.
Loot
The Wasp Driver is a unique item dropped by the Wasp that's used to upgrade the Gunsmith.
Codex Entry
The Wasp is a small, thruster-powered drone, flying in tidy patrols with other Wasps and the occasional Hornet. When engaged, they switch to erratic flight patterns, making them a challenging target. They are equipped with light guns, and seem to actively scan for potential threats, sometimes mistaking humanoid statues for Raiders.
Wasps are often observed patrolling the skies in predictable patterns, seemingly serving as the first line of security for ARC's probing and extraction operations. They scan for any human activity that could interfere with their operations, and seem drawn to areas with regular Raider activity.
The Wasp’s thrusters are exposed and unarmored, giving practiced Raiders a surefire way to send them crashing down.
While the innards of the drone are fairly simple, its central drive and power unit are worth tearing out. Raiders have shot at it for a makeshift explosive, and various tinkerers of Toledo have been known to use it to craft more advanced contraptions.
A Snitch can call in additional Wasps from orbit, posing a surprise threat to inexperienced Raiders — or a treasure trove of Wasp Drivers for those who come prepared.
