Small Thruster-Powered Drone

Intelligence Report

"Small, thruster-powered drone that flies in tidy patrols. When engaged, they switch to erratic flight patterns. They actively scan for threats, sometimes mistaking statues for Raiders."

Combat Behavior

A Wasp will aim a small red laser from its machine gun before firing volleys of bullets in short bursts that deal a small amount of damage each.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Destroy 2 of its 4 rotors to crash it. • CRITICAL: Shooting an entire magazine into its body will destroy it. • AVOIDANCE: Move behind cover or hide in foliage.

Hornet

Enhanced Patrol Drone

Intelligence Report

"A small flying drone equipped with protective armor on its front side. It sports an electric shock weapon that stuns and damages its targets. Designed as an enhanced patrol unit, often working with Wasps."

Combat Behavior

The Hornet aims a red laser before firing a slow-traveling stun round. If a Raider gets hit, they become stunned, preventing movement or fighting.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Heavy or Medium ammo guns are best for destroying Hornets. • CRITICAL: Destroying 2 of the 4 thrusters on the same side will cause them to crash and be destroyed. • AVOIDANCE: Use Dodge Roll or Sliding to evade the stun projectile.

Tick

Parasitic Ground Unit

Intelligence Report

"A small, spider-like machine that leaps at Raiders, munching away at whatever exposed skin it can find. It is predominantly found indoors, crawling on walls or ceilings. While individual Ticks are weak, they often attack in swarms."

Combat Behavior

When aggressive, it makes a robotic shuffling sound before lunging at the Raider's head. It latches on, draining health and shield over time. Use [Interact] to dislodge it.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: A single shot from most guns will destroy it. • AVOIDANCE: Shoot it before it lunges, or run behind a wall/object to break its path. • COUNTER: If it latches on, hold interact to rip it off immediately.

Pop

Impulsive Rolling Drone

Intelligence Report

"A small unarmored rolling machine; often compared to the Fireball. It is a quick impulsive enemy that often roams in swarms. It carries an explosive charge that 'pops' upon impact, scorching any Raider that lets it get too close."

Combat Behavior

In its aggressive state, it quickly rolls toward Raiders. As it approaches, it emits a beeping sound that increases in frequency. Once close enough, it detonates after a short delay, dealing heavy damage.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Can be destroyed quickly with any weapon due to lack of armor. • AVOIDANCE: Shoot it before it detonates, or dodge roll away as it 'pops'. • AVOIDANCE: Vault over edges where it cannot navigate.

Rolling Flamethrower Drone

Intelligence Report

"A fast-moving, ball-shaped machine that rolls around indoor areas. It spews fire at any perceived threat, roasting anyone not made of fire-resistant materials. With its speed and flame-throwing capabilities, it causes great trouble for Raiders."

Combat Behavior

It rolls towards its target and opens its front panel, unleashing a long burst of flames. Once a Raider is on fire, they take burning damage for a few seconds.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Its shell is strong against Light Ammo. Use Medium/Heavy Ammo or shoot the core when it opens. • AVOIDANCE: Dodge roll away, or vault over edges where it cannot navigate. • NOTE: It coats the area in fire upon destruction.

Stationary Defense Unit

Intelligence Report

"A crude, stationary unit found in buildings all over the Rust Belt. Equipped with a sweeping scanner and a machine gun. While a nuisance, its scanner emits visible light, making it easy to spot and destroy before it engages."

Combat Behavior

When aggressive, it locks onto the Raider and fires a constant stream of bullets. If the Raider breaks Line of Sight, it continues firing at the last known location for a short time.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: No armor plating; quickly destroyed by any ammo type. • AVOIDANCE: Use 3rd person camera to peek corners before engaging. • COUNTER: Shoot it until it fires back, hide, then repeat.

Heavy Stationary Turret

Intelligence Report

"A medium unarmored turret ARC that sits atop buildings and ledges. Always found outside, often in high locations overseeing an open area. They have a small vulnerable capsule attached to the rear of their swiveling arm. Known to pick off Raiders from afar."

Combat Behavior

Aims a thick orange laser while tracking movement. Lasers converge onto the target before firing a Heavy Ammo round, dealing major damage. It will fire at the last known location if Line of Sight is broken.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Aim for the yellow canister on the swivel arm to deal increased damage. • AVOIDANCE: Find solid cover. Its reaction time and fire rate are relatively slow. • AVOIDANCE: Stay out of sight for extended periods to reset its tracking.

Armored Rolling Drone

Intelligence Report

"A large, armored rolling ARC that stops periodically to transmit signals (shooting a blue beacon skyward). Although unarmed, it will ram whomever is close by if provoked. It is known as a rich source of high-value ARC tech."

Combat Behavior

The Surveyor will roll into a Raider at high speeds if left no option to escape. The roll attack deals a decent amount of damage.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: When scanning/transmitting, it exposes its core. Shooting this deals increased damage. • CRITICAL: Stunning it with a Hornet Driver while transmitting leaves it incredibly exposed. • AVOIDANCE: Dodge roll or move behind cover to avoid its charge.

Close-Quarters Heavy Unit

Intelligence Report

"A relentless lump of menace found in Stella Montis. It excels in closed quarters, stopping to charge before firing a 4-round burst of shrapnel in all directions."

Combat Behavior

The Shredder excels in halls and tight spaces. It will stop, charge up, and blast the player with a shrapnel attack. Hide behind cover as it is about to attack.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Take out its thrusters with heavy ammo weapons. • AVOIDANCE: You must find hard cover when it stops to charge its attack; the shrapnel hits in all directions.

Spotter

Aerial Recon Unit

Intelligence Report

"A support drone that does not attack directly. Instead, it marks Raiders with a laser so the Bombardier can target them. Destroying them 'blinds' the Bombardier temporarily."

Combat Behavior

Breaking line of sight stops the laser. Destroying both Spotters forces the Bombardier to stop firing until they respawn. Do NOT waste ammo if the Bombardier is invincible.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Thrusters are the weak point. • AVOIDANCE: Break line of sight with walls or smoke. • NOTE: If both are destroyed, a new pair will respawn shortly.

Artillery Walker

Intelligence Report

"A lethal, four-legged artillery walker that rains mortar fire on Raiders. It relies on Spotter drones to target enemies behind cover. Destroying its rear cylinder or leg joints is the key to victory."

Combat Behavior

Eliminate the Spotter drones first to 'blind' it. When it fires, it is vulnerable—attack the yellow kneecaps to impair mobility, then target the rear yellow cylinder to destroy it quickly.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Yellow kneecaps (mobility kill). • CRITICAL: Rear yellow cylinder (fast kill). • AVOIDANCE: Keep moving; mortar rounds track movement.

Intelligence Report

"A fortress on legs. Covered in thick plating, it dominates with heavy gatling-gun fire. It is often found guarding resource deposits. Shani advises: 'Their front plating is nearly impenetrable.'"

Combat Behavior

It emits a loud screech before firing for 3 seconds at your last known position. Use this window to flank it. Destroying the rear yellow canister stuns it and peels back its armor to reveal a weak spot.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Yellow rear canister (Stuns & Exposes Weakness). • CRITICAL: Yellow leg joints (Mobility Kill). • EFFECTIVE: Blaze Grenades, Snap Blast Grenades, and the Deadline weapon.

Intelligence Report

"An agile, four-legged brute found in open areas. It is equipped with a powerful shockwave pulse and can leap astonishing distances to crush Raiders. Shani warns: 'Raiders much more experienced than you have tried to take one on, and very few returned in one piece.'"

Combat Behavior

Blaze Grenades are highly effective—throw one, wait for the burn to stop, then throw another to finish it with heavy ammo. Alternatively, use Stun Grenades or Hornet Cores to freeze it, then mag-dump into its eye.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: The central 'Eye' and leg joints. • VULNERABILITY: Fire Damage (Blaze Grenades). • UTILITY: Stun Grenades prevent it from leaping.

Long-Range Artillery Drone

Intelligence Report

"Looming grimly in the skies, the Rocketeer dominates open spaces with its powerful missile launchers. It creates hazardous zones that force Raiders to keep moving. Shani advises: 'Slow, but devastating. You don't want to go anywhere near those in your current gear.'"

Combat Behavior

Aim for the thrusters to bring it down. Destroying two thrusters causes it to crash, potentially destroying itself on impact. Another weak point is the 'eyebrow' sensor on top. Use Snap Blast Grenades for an easy kill.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Thrusters (Destabilize). • CRITICAL: 'Eyebrow' Sensor on top. • UTILITY: Snap Blast Grenades are highly effective. • AVOIDANCE: When the laser turns red, dodge roll immediately.

Intelligence Report

"One of the largest ARC units, found only guarding the Harvester during special events. Incredibly durable and lethal. Shani warns: 'It can't be... Is that... A Queen? I'd run the other way as fast as you can.'"

Combat Behavior

She fires 2-5 mortars that explode into infernos. If you have line of sight, she fires a scorching laser. Get too close, and she uses an EMP pulse or Ground Slam. Aim for the joints or the head core for maximum damage.

Weakness & Engagement

• CRITICAL: Head Core (Maximum Damage). • WEAKNESS: Leg Joints. • DANGER: Do not engage in open ground; her laser leaves scorched earth.

Combat Behavior

She fires homing rockets and gas mortars. Her energy shield absorbs projectiles but allows Raiders to pass through to attack. Be careful of Flashbangs that blind you. She can summon Fireballs, Wasps, Leapers, Bastions, Bombardiers, and Rocketeers.
