lowThreat · ARC Enemy
This terrifying enemy, often called the Tick, is a small, unarmored ARC that specializes in the perfect ambush. It uses dark, indoor spaces—particularly the undersides of ceilings and dark corners of walls—as its hunting ground. It waits in absolute stillness until a Raider passes underneath. Then, without warning, it lunges for your head, aiming to latch directly onto your face or helmet. Once attached, it relentlessly drains your health and shield meter simultaneously. The panic is compounded by the fact that you must hold the [Interact] button to forcibly pry the parasite off, an agonizing process that leaves you exposed to other threats.
