ARC Raiders Mechanical Failure: Wasp thruster

ARC Raiders Mechanical Failure requires shooting a thruster off a Wasp. Verified basic method: the independently authored PowerPyx and Steam Tips explanations agree on the target and action, with current official updates reviewed.

1. Identify a Wasp before firing. Use its identification/ping information if you are unsure which drone you see.
2. Position yourself with cover available and a clear view of a thruster.
3. Shoot the thruster until that part breaks off.
4. Check the award rather than assuming any whole-drone kill satisfied the specific action.

Hizzle suggests doing this before pouring fire into the main body. The requirement is not simply “destroy a flying ARC,” and a different drone's damaged part does not match the named Wasp target.

This verifies the researched action, not every controller binding or console unlock trigger. UNSURE: exact shots required for your weapon and distance, every current platform-specific failure and reset behavior. Online play is required; time and numerical difficulty are not scored. We checked sources without playing the game.
