The Wraith is a tactical strike aircraft and Scorestreak that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
Campaign
The Wraith appears in the campaign as an autonomous drone used by the 54 Immortals and Nile River Coalition for heavy fire support. Unlike in multiplayer, the Wraith can fly at distances close enough for one to be destroyed by regular gunfire.

Multiplayer
When obtained, a player can order the Wraith to arrive at any point on the map. However, once the Wraith sees no more targets to engage, it will change position automatically.
The Wraith has a cloak ability that can be temporarily disabled by gunfire. When the Wraith is cloaked, it cannot be locked onto by launchers and is more difficult to spot.
The Wraith has a flak drone that follows it and will intercept incoming rockets, similarly to the Trophy System. Unlike the Trophy System however, it will ignore scorestreak projectiles, making the Dart and Hellstorm Missile effective ways to destroy it.
It can be taken down with the Banshii shotgun, as it needs three shots from it to be destroyed, however, doing so can be difficult because of the cloak ability of the Wraith and the relative low speed of the Banshii´s energy blast. Two bursts from the Rift E9 will have the same effect as the Banshii, but will have the same difficulties doing so.
A player using Engineer will be able to see the Wraith's red outline regardless of if it being cloaked and is also able to lock onto and fire at the Wraith at all times.
Because the Engineer perk allows the player to lock onto the Wraith at all times, it is possible to lock onto the Wraith and shoot it down before it reaches the map, as the flak drone flies slower than the Wraith and won't be able to intercept the rocket.
