ARC Threat File: Mobile Explosive Unit "Pop"
Overview
The Pop is a compact, unarmored rolling machine, functionally similar to the Fireball but designed for sudden, proximity-based detonation. Operating with a self-sacrificial tactic, it carries an internal explosive charge that detonates upon reaching close range, posing a high-risk threat to Raiders caught off-guard.
Behavior & Detonation Mechanics
Pops typically move in swarms, exhibiting aggressive and impulsive pursuit behavior. When activated, a Pop accelerates toward its target while emitting an escalating beep frequency—an audible warning that correlates directly with proximity. Detonation is triggered by closeness, not by a timer, and occurs after a brief delay, inflicting heavy damage to both shields and health.
Strategic Threat Notes
Pops may spawn in locked rooms, often lying in wait directly behind doors. Opening the door can trigger an immediate explosive rush.
Their distinctive audio and visual cues provide Raiders with advance warning, but their speed and numbers demand constant situational awareness.
Weaknesses & Countermeasures
As an unarmored unit, Pops can be destroyed quickly with any weapon. Effective survival tactics include:
Proactive engagement: shoot them before they enter detonation range
Environmental advantage: vault over obstacles or ledges they cannot traverse
Mobility use: create distance or execute a Dodge Roll to escape the blast radius
Loot & Crafting Resources
Destroying Pops yields volatile components essential for crafting and tactical upgrades:
ARC Alloy
ARC Powercell
ARC Thermo Lining
Crude Explosives
Pop Trigger
(Note: Health values are estimates and may vary based on in-game conditions.)
