How to kill the Queen in Arc Raiders

The Arc Raiders Queen is one of the game's most powerful enemies, a very high-level foe that guards Harvesters — complex bunkers full of treasure. Killing a Queen is among the hardest tasks in the game and almost impossible solo; players usually work together to bring one down, though there is always some risk from other players.

The Queen's main weak points are the Core in the middle of its body and the leg joints, but both are covered in armor that must be stripped with suitable weapons or explosives. Targeting the front or face helps remove armor, and the Core becomes visible as a glowing red spot.

If you can use a Snap Hook to reach the Queen and plant a Deadline mine on the exposed Core, you can deal major damage, but this is risky. Prioritise high survivability, heavy armor-piercing weapons and plenty of explosives. Recommended kit includes the Anvil (upgraded to level 4), the Hullcracker to strip armor, and legendary options like the Equalizer or Jupiter if available.
