UNLOCK ARC DOMINATION – raid RICH! 👇 [Weak Spots + Loot Table Inside]

A comprehensive guide to conquering every ARC enemy in ARC Raiders has taken the community by storm, with The Gaming Merchant’s YouTube video “ARC Raiders Guide – How To Beat Every ARC (Weak Spots, Strategies and ARC Loot Explained)” surpassing 707,000 views since its October 29 launch. As the extraction shooter from Embark Studios thrives in early access – blending PvE robot hordes with PvP tension across maps like Dam Battlegrounds and Stella Montis – mastering ARCs is essential for survival, progression, and lucrative loot hauls like drivers, cells, and alloys used in crafting meta weapons such as the Hullcracker launcher.

ARCs – autonomous robotic threats infesting a post-apocalyptic Earth – range from swarming pests to colossal bosses. They drop critical materials for workbench upgrades, quests, and refining blueprints (74 total in-game). Guides emphasize yellow weak spots (150-200% damage bonus), armored grey plating (30-50% reduction, needs heavy ammo/AP), and white soft spots (full damage). Detection uses vision cones (45 degrees) and noise alerts: blue (patrol), yellow (search), red (aggro). Snitches summon adds; most are “deaf” unless close.

Post-Patch 1.3 tweaks (November 20) refined ARC AI and loot values – e.g., Wolfpack crafting now needs ARC Motion Cores – but core weaknesses hold, per Steam forums and Reddit.

Compiled from top guides (The Gaming Merchant, TheGamePost, TheGamer, GAM3S.GG, Overgear), here’s every ARC decoded. Prioritize heavies (Ferro, Anvil, Jupiter) for armor; EMP grenades stagger. Night raids boost drops 20-30%.

Advanced Tactics: From Solo Farms to Boss Melts

For small ARCs (Ticks/Pops/Wasps), energy/SMGs clear swarms efficiently – save heavies. Drones patrol POI edges; use doorways to funnel. Medium threats like Leapers demand cover – no open fights. Bastions/Bombardiers pair with Spotters (kill first); Rocketeers’ missiles AoE, so roll/smoke.

Bosses: Queens guard Harvesters (vault minigames for epics) – sprint past facing away. Matriarchs (rare events) need squads; Shredders (Stella Montis) shred CQC – peek walls. Loadout: Anvil primary, Renegade secondary, T2 meds/stims, hatch key. Perks: In-Round Crafting (stims), Security Breach (crates). Cost: <10k coins.

Loot Economy: Scrap, Sell, or Stash?

ARC parts fuel progression: Alloys/Powercells (universal scrap/refine), drivers/cells (benches/quests, 2-5k sell). Refine commons to rares; duplicates vendor 5k. Prima Games’ drop table confirms: Rocketeers yield premium heavies (post-patch value up). Reddit’s cheat sheets (v2 searchable PDF) prioritize: Keep quest items (Dog Collar, Lemon), recycle safe (A-Z list).

Community Domination & Verified Kills

r/ArcRaiders erupts: “Leaper legs OP – soloed 10x” (u/Cliffhanger87). X hails: “Thrusters melt Wasps” (@SyNickal1). TheGamePost verifies 70-80% faster kills via hidden spots; Overgear notes EMP for 10s stuns. Variants: FLINN’s “SOLO Every Arc FAST” (49k views) adds audio cues; Jiibii’s hidden weaknesses (28k).

Patched exploits (e.g., Surveyor glitches) fixed, but fringes untouched. Embark’s 1.2.0 boosted Motion Cores (Refiner Lv2); 1.3 AI buffs Shredders. Risks: Adds swarm, noise draws PvP (40% wipe rate solos).

Reshaping Raids: From Casual to Pro

This intel levels casuals – farm outskirts nights for 100k+ (alloys refine to blues). With trials/seasons looming, hoard now. Discord/X maps evolve; sell scraps, craft metas.

Raiders: Spot yellow, cover smart, loot heavy. ARCs fall.
