We learned last week that the Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky update, due out tomorrow, is adding a hurricane map condition that’ll push us around, give us bursts of speed, and limit the viability of shields. We also caught a glimpse of a new Arc enemy\u2014a teaser that Embark has expanded on today in a dedicated Shrouded Sky blog post.<\/p>\n

Turns out, we’re getting two new robo threats, not just one: meet the Firefly <\/strong>and the Comet<\/strong>. Have you ever seen two faces more punchable?<\/p>\n

As Embark lays out in today’s Shrouded Sky blog post<\/a>, the Firefly is a “floating nightmare: an armored flying machine that emits a jet of flame, burning your Raider to a crisp unless you can move quickly or find cover.”<\/p>\n

Based on that description, I’m imagining an even more annoying Wasp that dives into your grill and roasts you until shot down. Though judging by the supplemental trailer Embark put out today (embedded below), the Firefly might actually be closer in size and might to the Hornet. It certainly seems to have Hornet-level armor plating on the front of its rotors.<\/p>\n
