ARC Threat File: Targeting Support Drone "Spotter"
Overview
The Spotter is a specialized reconnaissance drone deployed in coordination with the Bombardier artillery unit. It does not engage in direct combat but serves as a critical force multiplier by designating targets with a precise marking laser, enabling the Bombardier to deliver accurate, long-range fire.
Tactical Role & Synergy
Operating in pairs, Spotters function as the "eyes" of the Bombardier. Their primary objective is to maintain continuous line-of-sight on Raiders, relaying real-time positional data. This allows the Bombardier to engage from extreme distances and from behind cover that would otherwise render it ineffective.
Behavior & Threat Mechanics
Laser Designation: The Spotter projects a visible laser that must maintain uninterrupted line-of-sight to track targets.
Respawn Logic: If both Spotters are destroyed, a new pair will regenerate after a short interval. However, if the Bombardier is eliminated, remaining Spotters will disengage and retreat.
Indirect Lethality: While harmless alone, a live Spotter dramatically increases the lethality and range of the Bombardier, making it a high-priority support target.
Countermeasures & Neutralization Tactics
Given its non-aggressive nature, the Spotter can be effectively countered through environmental and tactical play:
Break Line-of-Sight: Use walls, structures, or terrain to interrupt the laser beam, forcing reacquisition.
Seek Interior Cover: Enter buildings or enclosed spaces the Bombardier cannot penetrate, nullifying the threat despite continued tagging.
Utility Items: Employ Quick-Use items (flash, stun, or disorientation tools) to temporarily disable the Spotter's tracking.
Selective Engagement: Destroying Spotters can "blind" the Bombardier temporarily, but frequent destruction is resource-inefficient due to respawns.
Strategic Recommendation
Prioritize evasion and environmental counters over outright destruction. Permanent neutralization is only achieved by eliminating the Bombardier itself.
(Note: Durability values are approximate and may be adjusted in-game.)
