ARC Machines

6 ARC Raiders pages in ARC Machines.

• ARC EnemiesARC Raiders has about two dozen named ARC machines, from the one-shot Tick to the Queen and Matriarch bosses. Most fall fastest to a specific weak point such as propellers, thrusters or yellow leg joints, and most drop a unique part used for crafting and upgrades.
• Bastion, Bombardier and ShredderTo kill a Bastion or Bombardier in ARC Raiders, hit the yellow leg joints to slow it, then the yellow canister or cylinder at the back. A Bombardier also relies on Spotters, so kill those first. A Shredder dies to its bottom thruster, with two Trigger Nades enough to finish one.
• Bully, Skulker and HydraThe Bully, Skulker and Hydra are the new ARC in ARC Raiders' Frozen Trail update of Oct 8, 2026. Hit the Bully's yellow leg joints with a Hullcracker, break the Skulker's wheels, and fight the Frigate's three-part Hydra from cover in short windows.
• Flying ARCFlying ARC in ARC Raiders fall when you break what lifts them. Shoot two of a Wasp's four propellers, a Hornet's two rear propellers, a Snitch's plates, a Rocketeer's armored thrusters, a Firefly's yellow fuel canister, and a Vaporizer's side rotors once its shield drops.
• Ground ARCSmall ground ARC in ARC Raiders die quickly once you know the spot. One hit kills a Tick, one medium shot pops a Pop, a Fireball falls when its panel opens, and two heavy shots behind the barrel kill a Turret. The Leaper is the dangerous one, best hit with heavy ammo on the eye and Blaze Grenades.
• Queen and MatriarchTo kill the Queen in ARC Raiders, strip her leg armor and shoot the structure beneath, or hit the head spot. To kill the Matriarch, strip her two front plates and shoot the red core in her head. Bring a squad, Hullcrackers and Wolfpacks; they drop the reactors that craft the Equalizer and Aphelion.
