SPOTTER
Scout Drone
Spotters are flying support drones for the Bombardier. They will point a laser at any Raider in line-of-sight so the Bombardier can accurately target them. If both Spotters are destroyed a new pair will respawn. When the Bombardier is destroyed the Spotters will fly away.

Detailed Tactical Info
Although these small ARC aren't a direct threat, they are the backup for something much more deadly. With their downwards cone of vision, they mark targets for the Bombardier to destroy.
Combat Advisory
When dealing with a Spotter, make sure to destroy it as quickly as you can, if not, it can quickly mark your position to the Bombardier, making the area you're standing on a very dangerous place to be in. They usually go ahead of the Bombardier and make a lot of noise, so steer clear of them and watch your flank if you don't want the Bombardier to spot you itself. They also have a very limited downwards cone of vision, even when spotting a raider, so even just going into a building heavily inhibits its ability to locate you compared to other flying ARC.
