The Scout Ornithopter is a single seated flying vehicle, the smallest of the 3 ornithopters in game however the most manoeuvrable. The Scout Ornithopter can traverse the Overland Map, it is the first obtainable vehicle which allow the player to do so. Like the Sandbike the Scout Ornithopter can be stored in the Vehicle Backup Tool.

When assembling the Scout Ornithopter all modules for different tiers can be used together apart from the wings where all 4 wings are required to be the same.
