Hornets (the electrocuting drones) annoy me (they’re the least fun ARC to fight, for me) so I end up just sneaking around them usually.

If you want to try sneaking, one thing you’ll notice is that they don’t have that good of a peripheral vision, you can walk crouched, even roll without them noticing as long as you stay on their sides, or below them.

Always try to move with some cover available nearby if you need to run and hide, find at least something that can hide you from two angles (front and side so that you can walk around it).

Once an ARC is lurking (yellow to orange light), it will go back and forth on multiple sides to try and find you, its a cat and mouse game where if you manage to say hidden for ~10 seconds it will go away.

If you want to fight them, try the Anvil (ask your dad if you can buy it from a trader), it’s a Green revolver that shoots hard, it’s like the Ferro but with 6 bullets in a magazine (uses heavy bullets too, its a red box), aim for the drone’s rotors, the front ones are protected so you’ll need multiple shots, if you destroy two rotors, the drone should fall to the ground and explode.

You can hear a sound when the drone is about to shoot the taser thing, it goes like zwuuuuit high pitched, once that sound is about to end, rolling should make you dodge the shot because they lock on your position at the last second and won’t have time to adjust. You’ll have to try multiple times to get the timing right!
