Spider drone

Spider drones are robots employed by the Chinese Army in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.
==Background==
Before the war, these robots served as mobile landmines for the Chinese army. Their method of attack is to approach enemy targets and simply self-destruct; the explosion acting as a fragmentation mine would. They are only encountered briefly during the quest "Paving the Way."
According to a Chinese terminal entry, the model encountered in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation is designated "spider drone Mk VI prototype" and are air dropped via bombers."Decrypted/Transcribed Volume 99x46x013

===Gameplay attributes===
A Chinese terminal entry advises their own soldiers to be careful around the drones, even though they are configured to only attack Americans. To this effect, one will occasionally see a Chinese soldier fighting one of these on the way to the Chimera Armor Depot.
==Statistics==
==Notes==
* Spider drones move fairly fast, so it's best to shoot them at range when you have a clear shot. You can hear them making metal clinking sounds when they are nearby.
* They have very low HP. The player can usually destroy one with a few assault rifle rounds.
* They will explode upon death, killing any other spider drones nearby, and inflicting damage to anything in close vicinity.
* Targeting the spider drones at any distance greater than a few feet with V.A.T.S. may prove difficult, as the drones are very small targets and thus a lower chance to hit ranging from 0% at more than 20 feet to about 50% at about 5 feet.
* The body of the drone is the unused model of the cryo mine.
* When traveling with a three man fire team, the team will generally destroy the mines before they can get close enough to harm the player.
==Appearances==
Spider drones appear in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage. 
==Behind the scenes==
A modified version of the spider drone appears to be a projectile for the cut spider rifle weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Old World Blues.
