The Assessor itself shows no direct aggression, but its hull is likely packed with high-value salvageable resources. The real danger comes from the unprecedented ARC patrols surrounding it. Cracking open the Assessor while fending off waves of escorts including Vaporizers is the central challenge of the Close Scrutiny operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ARC Assessor in ARC Raiders?
The ARC Assessor is a massive, unarmed ARC machine that lands during the Close Scrutiny ARC Operation. It does not attack Raiders directly. Instead, its hull contains high-value loot that makes it the primary objective of the operation.
Does the ARC Assessor attack you?
No. The Assessor itself has no weapons and will not fight back. The real threat comes from the heavy ARC escort patrols surrounding it, including Vaporizers and other Extreme-tier machines. Those escorts are some of the toughest encounters in the game.
How do you loot the ARC Assessor?
You need to deal sustained damage to the Assessor hull panels to breach them. Once breached, you can access the loot inside. The Dolabra energy shotgun is particularly effective at punching through its armor plating. Coordinate with your squad to keep escorts off the player breaching the hull.
Where does the ARC Assessor spawn?
The Assessor only appears during the Close Scrutiny ARC Operation. It makes a controlled landing at a designated zone on the map. You will not encounter it during normal expeditions or other operations.
What does the ARC Assessor drop?
The Assessor drops ARC Alloy, ARC Performance Steel, Advanced ARC Powercell, Advanced Mechanical Components, Advanced Electrical Components, Assessor Matrix, and ARC Thermo Lining. The Assessor Matrix is a unique component exclusive to this machine.
What is the best strategy for Close Scrutiny?
Bring a full squad with top-tier gear. Clear the escort ARC patrols first before focusing on the Assessor hull. Assign one or two players to watch for Vaporizer dive attacks while others breach the hull. Do not rush the Assessor while escorts are still active, or you will get overwhelmed from multiple directions.
