ORIGINAL VOLPEDIA / FIVE CHAPTERS

All ARC enemies: how to survive: complete guide

01

Separate categories

Small nuisance machines, flying units, heavy armored threats and major event enemies have very different costs. Decide whether the fight is necessary before firing.

02

Flying threat control

Wasps and Hornets can expose a position. Favor structures that interrupt lines of fire while keeping enough visibility to avoid another threat approaching.

03

Heavy machine encounters

Bastion, Queen, Matriarch and Harvester demand dedicated preparation. Identify current armor and component behavior; Frozen Trail changed the relationship between explosive damage and ARC weak points.

04

Frozen Trail newcomers

Bully, Skulker and Hydra joined the enemy list with 2.0. Learn their movement and telegraphs with a replaceable kit before attempting to farm them for rewards.

05

Leave safely after combat

Winning the machine fight is only half the task: count healing and ammo, listen for Raiders and choose a quieter extraction route if the area has become active.
