Firefly VS Spider, which is the fastest?

[Xilia]

Willing to invest in the spider, as I use the low profile walkers for fragment hunting.
Which one of the two is the fastest?

[Skurcey]

fastes i m not sure but you can climb cliffs and also more discreet

[pathi]

Spider is really slow.

The spider's great fun, very zippy, and as someone said, can climb cliffs, you can easily outrun another walker with it, just on turning circle alone

falco is the fastest walker in the game but you need tablets

The spider isn't really slow at all, it's only slightly slower than a stiletto.The advantage with the spider is it can be equipped with armored legs and can pack 3 crafting stations/chests, and it can climb sheer slopes (pretty much vertical surfaces). It's lower profile and lack of wings also make much harder for enemies to board it, and when they do, it's more difficult for enemies to attack the driver due to the low seating position. My guess is the firefly is slightly faster once it has wings installed, this is a double edged sword though, as it makes it easier for enemies to grapple and board your walker, you also sit slightly higher on the firefly than you do the spider, making you an easier target for melee attacks.

ye pretty much I need it low profile for farming fragments and sneak into places. I used the ballista one too, as the craftign stations like the cooking pot are very easy to make, and everything else will be on my main walker to craft and build with, which I keep in the safe zone for obvious reasons.

Spider can T-bone a Firefly and flip it over, forcing the player out of the Firefly. It can't carry much but it's probably the safer vehicle out of the two if you just need to scavenge for a few stacks of materials.

Dinghy for the win.

Out of the two the firefly is a bit faster but not by much..

[Xilia]

the spider is really insane on how low profile it is. And has good cargo for such a small thing. I like it

Sometimes I park my spider in some shrubs to go attack some Rupu and then I have a hard time seeing where I parked it again. Only slightly slower than Firefly, waaaaaay harder to be seen, and if you do get someones attention just walk up a wall to get away.
