Arc Raiders - Easiest and most efficient way to take down each Arc

You have to take down the Rocketeer, Leaper, Bombardier or Bastion, in order to advance your workstation but don't know how? Don't worry, everyone has struggled to take down Arcs in the beginning of their journey. With this article I'll show you the easiest, most efficient as well as safest way to take down each of the four advanced Arcs.

Rocketeer

The Rocketeer - a true menace to every raider. It partols around the map, and once it spots someone it fires missile salvos or single missiles - when caught off guard, a stupid and sure fire way to die. So how do you take down such an imposing Arc? Well, there a multiple ways.

The easiest: Without a doubt, taking down the rocketeer with Wolfpacks is the easiest way, but it isn't the most viable choice. After all you would need to have stockpiled some Wolfpacks or have the blueprint for them. By throwing a perfect Wolfpack, it is possible to oneshot it, if not, do not woory, just bring a Ferro or Anvil in order to finish it off, afterall, it should be low health.
The safest: By shooting the thrusters from far away with an Osprey, it slows the rocketeer down and you will be able to take it down before it even fired a single missile at you. Its recommended to have an extended magazine attachment.
The most cost efficient: The most cost efficient way is to only bring a Ferro with 60 or more bullets. Then finding a building where you can shoot out from and wearing it down by continuously shooting at the thrusters. I recommend upgrading the Ferro as it doesn't cost much but will allow you to reload faster.

Bombardier

The Bombardier is one of the more annoying Arc, it has two reconnaisance drones that fly in a cricle around it, after spotting you, the bombardier will launch multiple bombs straight to your location. Ways to kill it are either trigger grenades, deadlines, some wolfpacks or shooting it with a hullcracker or anvil.

Trigger Grenades: Using trigger grenades is a great way of killing the Bombardier in early stages of wipe. You can unlock the blueprint by completing the quest "Sparks Fly" where you have to kill a hornet with a trigger grenade. For a sure fire way of killing the bombardier, I recommend bringing 12 trigger grenades with you. Find a building where you can look down onto it and throw the grenades on top of the arc. If you are skilled enough, you can also target the yellow cylinder, taking it down a lot faster and with less grenades.
Hullcracker/Anvil: If you bring a hullcracker or anvil, I recommend hitting the yellow joint parts as well as the yellow cylinder of the bombardier - the weak spots - make sure to bring enough ammo for killing the bombardier. As this option takes more time as the others, be braced to face hostile raiders.
Wolfpacks: The wolfpack is probably the easiest method again, just make sure to kill the two Spotters that fly above it, as they will be targeted by the wolfpack and thus render it useless. Bring a total of three wolfpacks for a sure kill. I like to bring two and then finish it off with a hullcracker or anvil.
Deadlines: If you manage to sneak up to it, and manage to place a Deadline, it will be a one-shot kill. It is recommended to bring a photoelectric cloak and lure grenades.

Leaper

The Leaper is probably the easiest to take down, it has a jump ability where it stuns you - if in range - and the singularity attack where it charges up and then deals damge to everything in close vicinity.

Cost efficient ways to take it down are to shoot it in the eye with a ferro, anvil or hullcracker. The downside is, it takes quite some time to kill it with this method. Thus you might attract unwanted attention. Faster ways are either using a wolfpack and then finishing it off with just a couple of Anvil shots. Or my recommended way, bringing a deadlinde and placing it on its eye. It is the fastest way as it insta-kills the Leaper.

Anvil/Ferro/Hullcracker: If you want to take down the Leaper via a Ferro, I at least recommend upgrading it fully as you will be able to reload a lot quicker. The Anvil is quite the good weapon for taking the Leaper down. It has a total of six bullets in its chamber - which means you don't have to reload after every single shot - making it much faster than a Ferro. The best of the best is the Hullcracker. Or, I should say it used to be - before it got nerfed, you were able to take a Leaper down in a matter of seconds. You can buy the Hullcracker at the weapons dealer for 30.000 Credits. Which doesn't seem worth it to me. Make sure to take cover inside a building or be able to rotate around an object when fighting the Leaper!
Wolfpack + Anvil: One of the better options is to bring a Wolfpack along with you. The problem is, if you don't have the blueprint, you rarely have them as they are hard to find. Anyways, if you bring a Wolfpack along, make sure to kill all the smaller surrounding ARC before throwing it up into the air, after that just finish it off with a couple of shots.
Deadline: Eliminating the Leaper with a Deadline is my favorite way. You can buy Deadlines for 15.000 credits at Apollo. When taking down the Leaper, you only have to bait it over, let it jump to you, put the Deadline onto its eye, and then take cover for a short second. It is by far the fastest way.

Bastion

The Bastion - its ability is simple, it fires a ray of bullets - do take cover or you will be riddled by bullets in a second.

To kill the Bastion, I like to use trigger grenades, Wolfpacks or Deadlines the most, as those are simply the easiest options.

Trigger Grenades: You can kill the Bastion with as little as six trigger grenades - if you manage to hit its weak spots which are the rear plate and leg joints. A better and safer option is to bring around ten trigger grenades which allows some room of error. Make sure to be able to take cover from it - be it a building or an object. You can also bring along an Anvil to finish it off after weakening it with a couple of grenades.
Wolfpacks: To kill it via Wolfpacks, bring along atleast two. If all the smaller targetting missiles hit the bastion, it should be killed. But that it is often not feasible, so I recommend bringing an Anvil or Hullcracker with you.
Deadline: Destroying it with a Deadline takes some cunning, afterall it isn't easy to sneak up on it. What you will need is obviously the deadline, a photoelectric cloak or some lure grenades. What I have done before, is sneak up to its butt with a photoelectric cloak, and then put the Deadline onto the yellow canister it has there, it is a guarenteed insta-kill.

I hope these various options of taking down each of the four "boss" ARC, will be of help to you. I also recorded a video on how to kill those ARC. Conside having a look at it. Thanks for reading! - HerbyGibbi
