Field assessment
A large flying drone sent on high-importance missions, combining a fire-laying laser with a Matriarch-style energy shield that swallows all projectiles and throwables — including Wolfpacks and Seeker Grenades. The shield has a cooldown after each use, so the documented strategy is to bait it with a cheap throwable first, then dump seeking or high-damage weapons into the opening. Added in Update 1.22.0 (Flashpoint) and rolled out to more maps and conditions in 1.26.0; Vaporizer/Surveyor scanning parties define the Close Scrutiny ARC Operation condition.
Target weak points
- thrusters
Listed as its infobox weakness; standard flying-ARC destabilization applies.
- underside core panel
Shooting its underside knocks off a small rectangular panel that exposes the core.
Multipliers unquantified — locations verified, damage scaling is not documented.
Observed behavior
- Sweeps a line-of-sight laser beam that leaves pools of burning fire wherever it touches
