Fire ant guardian

General
Fire ants are the result of a scientist named Doctor Lesko tampering with the genetic code of giant ants. Lesko intended to reduce the size of giant ants back to that of 200 years ago, but unexpectedly creates fire-breathing ants instead and accidentally destroys Grayditch as a result.

Tactics
Due to the added threat of their fire breath it is best to handle them from mid to long range. Crippling their antennae will cause the fire ant to frenzy and attack all characters in the area, including other fire ants. As with all organic enemies the head or the torso are also good target areas. Avoid shooting the legs because they take only 50% damage. Another useful tactic with all varieties of fire ant is to get to them quickly so they can't blast you with their fire breath, then stand over the op of them and beat them with a tire iron or similar melee weapon.
