Detailed Tactical Info
Somewhat sizable and unarmored ARC, shaped like an orb. It will usually sit around hallways and corners paired with other Pops, waiting for a raider to stumble into a room filled with them. Once it spots a raider, it will flash red and roll towards them before exploding itself in a powerful blast that shreds shields quickly.
Combat Advisory
When attacking a Pop, it is important to remember that the ring around the center of its main body provides a light layer of armor that allows it to resist a few extra shots against weaker guns, just enough to give it a window to explode. It is more optimal to aim for the top of it. If you can't afford to shoot it, remember that it will try to predict where a raider is going and roll ahead of them before exploding, so rolling towards them as they're about to explode is a valid tactic to use against them.
