ARC Assessor

Description

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.

Behavior

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.

• 1The Assessor is stationary and unarmed, but breaching each section calls in deadly ARC reinforcements. Clear the area first.
• 2Only appears during Close Scrutiny ARC Operations. This is a high-risk, high-reward event — bring your best gear.
• 3The loot pool is small but extremely high-tier. The Assessor Matrix is the primary incentive for repeat runs.
• 4Watch for Vaporizer patrols around the Assessor. Take them out first or they will shred you while you attempt to breach.
