Firefly in ARC Raiders
Fireflies ride along with Wasp and Hornet patrols as close-range fire support, hanging back until a Raider is already pinned and then swooping in to flush them from cover. On entering combat the drone extends its gimbal-mounted flamethrower and closes the distance, scorching anything in range with a burn that keeps ticking after the stream stops. Added in patch 1.17.
Firefly weak points
The yellow fuel tank — unarmored, exposed only while the flamethrower is deployed, and it takes bonus damage; a solid hit turns the machine into a brief fireball. The four thrusters are plated, but knocking out two or more destabilizes its flight so every collision with the terrain hurts it.
How to kill the Firefly
Pick it out early: the fuel tank gives it a slightly different flight profile from a Hornet. Keep range — the flamethrower is a close-quarters weapon — and wait for the tank to swing out before committing a burst. It ignites the ground around it when destroyed, so back off before the kill shot; detonating one next to other ARC is a gambler's trick, not a plan.
