Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bombardier in ARC Raiders?
The Bombardier is an Extreme-class ARC machine that functions as mobile artillery. It moves slowly but carries a multi-rocket system capable of saturating entire areas with explosives. If you hear the grinding sound of its approach, you need to make a decision fast: fight or run.
How do you kill the Bombardier?
Target the rocket magazine to reduce its firepower, then focus on the mobility systems to slow it down. Only attempt this fight with a full squad carrying heavy ordnance. Spread your squad out so a single rocket barrage cannot wipe everyone at once, and rotate between cover positions.
Where does the Bombardier spawn?
Bombardiers appear in open areas and near major points of interest. They favor wide terrain where their long-range rocket barrages are most effective. You will rarely find one in tight corridors or indoor spaces.
How do you dodge Bombardier rockets?
Keep moving laterally. The rockets saturate a wide area, so running in a straight line away from them is not enough. Sprint perpendicular to the rocket trajectory and use hard cover like buildings or rock formations. Do not stay behind destructible cover, as the rocket barrage will shred it.
What does the Bombardier drop?
The Bombardier drops ARC Alloy, Advanced ARC Powercell, Bombardier Cell, and Launcher Ammo. The Bombardier Cell is a unique component only available from this machine and is used in specific crafting recipes.
What is the best approach for fighting the Bombardier?
Close the distance as quickly as possible. The Bombardier is most dangerous at long range where its rockets have time to spread across a wide area. Getting closer reduces the effectiveness of its area saturation. Use terrain and buildings to block line of sight while you close in, then hit the rocket magazine and mobility systems hard.
