Wasp trap
The wasp trap is a trap found in ancient structures that self-destructs on activation, releasing three very fast flying wasp drones that attack immediately. Once in melee they stun their opponents with a paralytic neurotoxin, making them vulnerable to attacks from other defence systems.
Occurrence[edit]
Wasp traps are found in structures built by the Hostile Ancients faction: underground stockpiles, man-made landmarks, orbital platforms, satellites, and gravship quest sites.
Unlike the hunter trap, the wasp trap cannot be constructed by the player.
Summary[edit]
The wasp trap detects enemy pawns in a 20 tile radius as long as they are in its line of sight. It cannot detect invisible pawns.
It can be stunned by EMP weapons. Unless it is stunned, destroying it still releases the wasp drones.
Analysis[edit]
The wasp trap on its own is little more than an annoyance since the wasp drones do little damage, have little HP and only stun for a short time. However it can become deadly when it spawns in the same room as a hunter trap or an ancient defender turret, which is frequent.
