Description

Atta are an insect-like species whose intelligence level is disputed. Though blindly aggressive in many circumstances, their attack patterns suggest they are more than mere animals. Arieki is filled with the Atta. Without the presence of the Brann, Bane, and AFS, it is clear that they would be the dominant species.

Because many Atta quickly charge their opponents, it is essential to use your GPS minimap to detect them before they get too close. Once you’ve located an Atta, turn toward it and fall back as you ready a fast-beading weapon. Then crouch, bead, and deliver lethal fire into the creature. If this fails, retreat again and repeat the process.

When you spot multiple Atta, sprint away from the group so that the creatures merge in pursuit. You can then use area-of-effect weaponry to dispatch the herd without fear of getting flanked. Shotguns, propellant guns, and launchers are perfect in this role. Certain Logos abilities are also quite effective.
