Bringing it down

Weak point:

  • Core150 HP

Its blast radius is generous and unforgiving, as grouped-up squads have learned the hard way. Its armor plating protects its core, but it opens up when it charges, exposing its vulnerable innards. However, even when exposed, hitting such a fast-moving weak spot requires a particularly skilled trigger finger.

From the codex

Few things focus the mind like an armored ball of explosives that come charging at high speed. The Comet is a spherical ARC unit that resembles the Surveyor; a visual similarity has deceived many a Raider. The Comet, however, seems to exist for one singular purpose: to get up close and detonate.

Often found guarding heavy machines, the Comet serves as a brutal deterrent against Raiders who attempt flanking tactics. When it acquires a target it accelerates with alarming speed, and triggers its self-destruct once it's near enough to guarantee damage.

Experienced Raiders treat the Comet as a priority target, dropping it before engaging whatever it's protecting. The alternative is fighting a Bastion while a live bomb circles for an opening. Shani suspects ARC deployed them specifically in response to Raider flanking tactics - another sign that the machines are learning.
