An unarmed ARC machine with a powerful thruster system that regularly descends from orbit to collect air and soil samples. The Assessor is a large stationary ARC unit that lands during the Close Scrutiny ARC Operation. It does not roam — it holds a fixed position, surrounded by heavy ARC patrols including Vaporizers. While unarmed, breaching its 3 sections triggers deadly ARC reinforcement waves. Contains high-tier loot including ARC Powercells, ARC Alloy, ARC Circuitry, and the coveted Assessor Matrix.
The ARC Assessor lands at a fixed location during Close Scrutiny events and remains stationary. It has 3 sections that must be breached individually. Whenever a section is breached, a deadly squadron of ARC reinforcements is called down near its location. The Assessor itself is unarmed but is heavily guarded by patrolling ARC units including Vaporizers. It is also trapped, adding an extra layer of danger to breach attempts.
The ARC Assessor is a large-class ARC machine with 5,000 HP and a danger rating of 7/5. Large ARC machines like the ARC Assessor are mid-difficulty fights that punish overextension. They take time to drop and can stagger you while other ARC patrols converge on the gunfire — pick your moment carefully.
The ARC Assessor has 1 weak point: Breach panels (3 sections, each must be individually breached) (1x). Hitting the breach panels (3 sections, each must be individually breached) is the highest-value target — every shot landing there does 1x damage compared to body shots, which means you can drop the ARC Assessor with roughly 100 well-placed precision rounds from a mid-tier rifle. Body shots will work, but you'll burn through three to four times the ammo and pull every ARC patrol within a few hundred metres.
You'll find the ARC Assessor spawning in Dam Battlegrounds, Blue Gate, Spaceport, Buried City, Stella Montis. Common drops include ARC Powercell, ARC Alloy, ARC Circuitry, Assessor Matrix, which makes it a priority target for Raiders running crafting routes for the Workshop tech tree — the rare components from this enemy fast-track several mid-game upgrades.
