Summary[]
As a Raider, your biggest common enemy is ARC. The deadly machines that rain from the sky and pillage the surface of the Rust Belt. Some ARCs are small and unassuming, roaming rollbots and feisty ticks, while others are multi-legged behemoths that tower over the earth. Each ARC has its own strengths, weaknesses, and attack style, and requires a different strategy to defeat.
ARC can be armored or unarmored. Keep in mind that armored ARC can only be taken down with heavy ammunition.
Tip: ARC PowerCells drop from all ARC enemies when destroyed, they can be used to recharge your shields in a pinch.
