The Shockhopper Mk I is the boss of the Apex Research Lab. This is a large, agile mech that attacks with electric projectiles, ground slams, and a powerful laser beam. The arena is a relatively flat, open space. The Shockhopper will frequently jump and dash. Focus on dodging its attacks and finding openings to deal damage. Ranged weapons are generally safer, but a well-timed melee attack can be effective. Watch out for its charge attack and the electric fields it leaves behind.
