How to Board the Frigate in Arc Raiders
Climbing to the Clouds: Surviving the Arc Raiders Frigate Expedition
The latest in the Arc Raiders experience throws players into the thick of a colossal space event, demanding more than just firepower—it requires daring navigation and strategic disruption. The centerpiece of this monumental challenge is boarding the magnificent, yet formidable, Arc Frigate: a giant, flying fortress that dominates the sky.
To secure a foothold on this behemoth, players must first execute a precise maneuver. Forget conventional boarding; here, entry is achieved by interacting with the ship’s unique technology. Players must locate one of the circular Arc drones that the frigate spits out upon arrival. By climbing or grappling onto one of these drones and interacting with it, the player disrupts the drone, causing it to immediately retreat back to the vessel. This ingenious mechanic allows the Raider to scale the massive ship and ascend into the heart of the Arc event.
Once aboard, the scale of the challenge multiplies. The Arc Frigate is an immense space station teeming with threats and requiring careful pathfinding. Survival hinges not only on fighting the environment but also on managing vital resources. Players must be well-stocked with ammunition and healing items, as the sheer scope of the mission demands sustained endurance.
As the expedition progresses through the interior of the vessel, the environment itself becomes a dynamic combat zone. The frigate is layered with deadly defenses, featuring hostile turrets that emerge from the upper levels. Among the most dangerous are the Rocketeers, which launch rockets, the Vaporizers, which unleash searing lasers, and the terrifying Hydra, a deadly multigun turret that patrols the decks.
Completing the quest requires tactical engagement with these flying hazards. While you do not necessarily need to deliver the killing blow to every enemy, damaging these threats is crucial to unlocking the next phase of the mission. Navigating the ship’s complex layout can be tricky, but clever players can exploit the environment. By activating hidden switches and shooting out the yellow nodes embedded in the structure, players can open new pathways, effectively bypassing obstacles and charting a course through the colossal structure.
For those struggling with vertical movement or difficult terrain, tools like the Grappling Hook or Snap Hook prove invaluable, allowing for swift traversal across vast distances. This combination of drone disruption, environmental manipulation, and careful combat transforms a simple objective into a true test of skill and coordination. Boarding the Arc Frigate isn’t just a climb; it’s an epic journey above the clouds.
