Once you get one rotation done, the Shield Wasp will appear. As its name suggests, this flying enemy wields a shield that protects them from any frontal attacks.

Shield Wasp also has a lance that they’ll use to charge attack you with. In order to damage them, you’ll have to have Cody stick the backside of his body with his tree sap gun and then have May explode it with her Drill Buzzer rifle.

The easiest way to be able to do this is to wait for the Shield Wasp to charge Cody. When charging, roll out of the way by press Square on PlayStation and X on Xbox.

As soon as you roll, have Cody paint the back of the Shield Wasp and then aggro it. This will give May a clear shot to detonate the tree sap with her rifle.

Repeat this process a few times and you’ll have taken down the Shield Wasp and cracked the vault.
