ARC Threat File: Incendiary Assault Unit "Fireball"
Overview
The Fireball is a high-speed, spherical ARC unit engineered for close-quarters area denial. Primarily encountered in indoor and underground environments, it aggressively targets any perceived threat with a sustained torrent of flames, posing a severe risk to Raiders lacking adequate fire resistance.
Behavior & Threat Profile
Combining rapid mobility with potent incendiary weaponry, Fireballs excel at disrupting Raider formations—especially when deployed in groups or alongside parasitic Ticks. Upon activation, the unit accelerates toward its target, opens its frontal panel, and unleashes a continuous stream of fire. Direct contact inflicts heavy immediate damage, and targets will continue to suffer burn damage for several seconds, even after the Fireball is destroyed.
Critical Weakness: Exposed Core
While its armored outer shell deflects Light Ammo, it remains vulnerable to Medium or Heavy Ammo. The most effective engagement strategies are:
Precision Timing: Target the exposed, unarmored core when its front panel opens during an attack.
Armor Penetration: Use high-impact weapons such as the Ferro or Anvil to breach its shell preemptively.
Hazard Note:
Upon destruction, Fireballs ignite the surrounding terrain, creating a lingering hazard that can ignite Raiders.
Locational Intelligence:
Fireballs predominantly spawn in enclosed spaces like bunkers and metro systems, rarely appearing in open terrain. Prime farming locations include:
Metro entrances in Buried City
The large underground bunker in the northeast sector of Blue Gate
Countermeasures & Survival Tactics
Engage proactively before it initiates its flame attack
Utilize verticality—vault over obstacles or drop to lower terrain
Maintain distance and employ Dodge Roll to evade flames
Never linger near a defeated Fireball due to its post-destruction ignition
Loot & Crafting Resources
