ARC Raiders introduces two new top-side enemies: Firefly, a tenacious aerial threat, and Comet, a heavily armored rolling explosive. Tactics include using a Photoelectric Cloak or exploiting the Firefly’s fuel tank while staying in solid cover or indoors; lure grenades can help against Firefly, and aggressive, surgical shots are advised. For the Comet, aggro from a distance to make it expose its inner weak point, use high rate-of-fire or armor-piercing ammo, spread out your squad to minimize group damage, and target armor plating on the sides or the front when it reveals weak points. Quick thinking and coordinated play are key to surviving these predators.”,
