Detailed Tactical Info
Somewhat larger flying ARC with a tough layer of armor, protected rotors, and a powerful stun gun that it uses to electrify raiders and take down shields with no remorse. They usually lead hordes of Wasps and are generally the first responders when a Snitch calls for backup.
Combat Advisory
When dealing with a Hornet, try to get at an angle where you can quickly shoot the rear rotors and take it down quickly, as its armored rotors are heavily protected and take much longer to destroy. When avoiding its stun gun, it is suprisingly accurate at close ranges and will track raiders with perfect precision, so saving stamina for rolling out of the way is avised. The stun gun also primarily destroys shields, and doesn't deal much damage to the raider behind it.
