Apex-class ARC machine also known as the Harvester. The Queen is a gigantic robot that appears during the Harvester event. She towers over the battlefield and requires coordinated squad effort to defeat. Her massive health pool and devastating attacks make her the most iconic boss encounter in ARC Raiders.
The Queen appears during Harvester events and patrols the event area, engaging all players on sight. She uses a combination of heavy weapons fire, area bombardment, and ground-shaking stomps. Her outer armor must be stripped away to expose the red glowing core underneath. At critical health she becomes more aggressive with faster attack cycles. She can also summon smaller ARCs to defend her during the fight.
The Queen is a boss-class ARC machine with 15,000 HP and a danger rating of 9/5. As a boss-tier enemy, the Queen hits hard, soaks damage, and turns most solo runs into a coffin if you engage without preparation. Group up, bring high-DPS weapons, and only fight it when the loot table is worth the noise — every shot is a beacon for nearby Raiders.
The Queen has 2 weak points: Red glowing core (exposed after armor removal) (3x), Yellow leg joints (2x). Hitting the red glowing core (exposed after armor removal) is the highest-value target — every shot landing there does 3x damage compared to body shots, which means you can drop the Queen 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 Queen spawning in Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport. Common drops include ARC Circuitry, Advanced ARC Powercell, Complex Gun Parts, Magnetic Accelerator and 1 other crafting components, 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.
