ARC Raiders Turbine Boss Guide

The Riven Tides map ARC Raiders update introduced a floating mechanical horror. If you want to defeat Turbine ARC Raiders style, you need infinite patience and impenetrable cover, not mindless shooting. This ARC Raiders new enemy is completely invulnerable while hovering with its red lights engaged. It only spawns 15 to 17 minutes into a run, drifting around purely to ruin your extraction.

Combat Tactics

Shooting its dark armor in the sky is a tragic waste of ammo. Watch the side lights. Yellow means it is looking for a victim to land on. Blue means it is grounded, digging, and finally vulnerable. Once those massive legs splay out, the Turbine weak spot ARC Raiders players must target is the spinning central mechanism inside.

You cannot simply stand in the open and expect to survive Turbine lightning attacks. It fires aggressive seeker rockets that chain devastating electricity across the ground. Fight exclusively from inside a sturdy building. The best weapons against Turbine units are Hullcrackers or legendary explosives, and even then, prepare for a long, miserable hammering session.

Survival Checklist

• Stop crying and equip your heaviest armor.
• Bring excess healing items because you will inevitably take heavy damage.
• Never engage outdoors or behind flimsy barricades.

Looting the Wreckage

If you somehow survive, you must rush the smoking wreckage immediately. For the Turbine Compressor location, check the destroyed central mechanism. You need to farm Turbine Compressors aggressively because you need exactly two of them, along with some roots and coral jewelry, to complete the Aven alarm project ARC Raiders demands.
