ARC Threat File: Parasitic Assault Machine "Tick"
Overview
The Tick is a compact, spider-like autonomous unit infamous for its aggressive leaps toward Raiders' exposed facial and neck areas. Operating as a persistent parasitic threat, it is primarily encountered in indoor environments, where it navigates walls and ceilings to stage ambushes.
Behavior & Swarm Tactics
Ticks typically attack in coordinated groups, presenting a manageable threat individually but becoming overwhelming in numbers. Upon entering an aggressive state, a Tick emits a distinct robotic scuttling sound before lunging to latch onto its target. Once attached, it steadily drains health and shields until manually removed.
Removal & Threat Neutralization
To dislodge an attached Tick, hold the [interact] key. Once detached, the unit will attempt to flee and may re-engage. Due to its lack of armor, Ticks can be swiftly eliminated with any weapon, making proactive engagement highly effective.
Countermeasures & Survival Tips
Shoot on sight before it enters lunge range
Use walls or large objects to break its line of attack
Evacuate the immediate area upon hearing its distinctive movement sounds
