Spotter in ARC Raiders
Spotters are flying support drones that operate in pairs with a Bombardier. They point a targeting laser at any Raider in line of sight so the Bombardier's artillery lands exactly on your head. If both are destroyed a new pair respawns; when the Bombardier dies, they fly away.
Spotter weak points
Fragile — thrusters are the fastest breakpoint. But killing Spotters is a stopgap, not a solution.
How to kill the Spotter
Break their line of sight so the Bombardier fires blind, and kill the Bombardier to remove the Spotters permanently. Shooting the endless respawning pairs wastes ammo.
