The Right Tool: Location of Fireball, Hornet, and Turret
The Right Tool quest can be completed on any map. However, the recommended and most efficient map to complete it is Dam Battlegrounds due to its higher concentration of the required ARC enemies.
Fireball location
This enemy appears as a rolling orb indoors, spitting fire. Fireballs typically appear in buildings like the Research Admin or Control Tower. They are easier to destroy and can be taken down with gunfire.
Hornet location
A medium-sized drone patrolling outdoor areas in the area of your choice (we are choosing Dam Battlegrounds for this). You can easily spot it by its red scanning lasers beneath it. Hornets stun you on sight if not destroyed quickly. The best approach to take down a Hornet is by using a Showstopper Grenade, which grounds it momentarily, allowing you to finish with gunfire. You can also destroy it by shooting its two thrusters on the back.
Turret location
Usually fixed on walls inside buildings. You should find cover and use grenades to destroy turrets safely.
The Right Tool: Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Destroy the Turret
Find a turret as given above in the location section. Approach it carefully and take cover to avoid its sustained fire.
Use your firearm or grenades to shoot the turret until destroyed.
Step 2: Destroy the Fireball
Find Fireball as explained in the location section above. When you find it, maintain distance from the Fireball if it starts breathing fire.
Use your granted Ferro IV or other medium ammo weapons to shoot its weak spot (the glowing yellow circles on its sides) to destroy it.
Step 3: Destroy the Hornet
When you spot a Hornet, use your new Ferro to take 1–2 shots and weaken it, forcing it closer to the ground.
Once it’s stunned and grounded, finish it off with a few more shots to destroy it.
Tips
- To dodge the Hornet’s electric stun projectile, listen carefully for audio cues and sprint left or right as soon as it fires; you do not need to dive or waste stamina.
- When attacking indoors, use corners and cover to avoid being cornered by multiple Fireballs or ARC enemies spawning nearby.
- The turret will fire continuously once locked on, so break line of sight by moving behind cover repeatedly to avoid sustained damage attacks.
