ARC Threat File: Armored Assault Drone "Hornet"
Overview
The Hornet is a compact aerial drone distinguished by the protective armor plating on its frontal section. Functioning as an enhanced patrol and suppression unit, it operates in tandem with Wasp drones to secure strategic sites and neutralize high-priority threats. Its primary armament is an electric shock emitter capable of stunning targets while inflicting significant damage to both shields and health.
Tactical Role & Engagement
Designed to disrupt and incapacitate, the Hornet serves as a force multiplier in ARC patrol groups. Before firing, it projects a clear red targeting laser, followed by a slow-moving stun round. Successful hits immobilize the target, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks from other units.
Weak Points & Disabling Strategies
Similar to the Wasp, the Hornet relies on thrusters for mobility, but its front thrusters are armored, requiring precise aim or specialized ammunition to disable. Heavy Ammo is highly effective at stripping this armor quickly. The rear thrusters remain unarmored and are vulnerable to any ammunition type.
Key engagement tactics include:
Destroying two thrusters to force a crash; high falls can cause instant destruction.
Prioritizing rear thrusters for easier hits if front armor cannot be quickly penetrated.
Countermeasures & Evasion
Reposition immediately after the Hornet fires to avoid its slow projectile
Utilize Dodge Roll or Slide maneuvers to break targeting
Use cover, foliage, or elevation to break line of sight when alerted
