Useful Info
Hornets are a dangerous flying insect. Their poisonous stings can also slow and paralyze you. They are most common in the Vaults, the Swamp, and especially in the Spider's Nest.
Tips & Tricks
- Poison resistance reduces the chance of getting slowed or paralyzed, but you need poison immunity to be completely safe.
