    Field assessment

    A heavier suicide-bomber cousin of the Pop, often escorting larger ARC. Added in Update 1.17.0 (Shrouded Sky); Update 1.26.0 removed it from standard Dam Battlegrounds sessions and reduced its Buried City presence. Two counters are documented: strip its armor with 2–3 Seeker Grenades without harming the igniter, or shoot the exposed center as it splits open mid-charge. Kill it cleanly and the core piece reliably yields the Comet Igniter; if it self-destructs, only the ring remains to search.

    Target weak points

    • core / exposed innards

      The armor shell splits open during its charge, exposing the interior; a direct hit on the middle point before detonation destroys it outright.

    Multipliers unquantified — locations verified, damage scaling is not documented.

    Observed behavior

    • Charges raiders at high rolling speed and self-destructs in a seismic, wide-radius shockwave explosion, positioning itself to catch groups
