Vaporizer swarms are wiping out squads en masse as Arc Raiders diehards finally get the tougher Arc they were asking for

Arc Raiders Vaporizer Regulators: The new Vaporizer enemy, an aerial machine, against a dark purple background.

This lapsed Arc Raiders player was not ready for the Flashpoint update. I hopped into a Blue Gate match with the new Close Scrutiny condition aiming to have a firsthand encounter with the Vaporizer, the fresh ARC drone unleashed topside.

Mistake! The first thing I witnessed upon emerging from spawn was the crimson glow of a raider flare. Just below the flare was a pair of Vaporizers, sized similarly to the Rocketeer, melting its next victim with blue laser beams. Another flare. These things live up to their names.
