Mastering Into the Fray: Complete ARC Raiders Guide

Engaging in the “Into the Fray” quest in ARC Raiders can be one of the most thrilling yet perilous tasks you’ll encounter, especially when facing a Leaper. These formidable robots possess remarkable jumping abilities that can catch even the most prepared players off guard.

Your mission, once assigned by Shani, revolves around locating and eliminating one of these dangerous foes. This guide will arm you with effective strategies for taking down a Leaper, ensuring you complete your quest successfully.

ARC Raiders Into the Fray Quest Walkthrough

The “Into the Fray” quest comprises two primary objectives:

  • Defeat a Leaper
  • Collect the Leaper Pulse Unit

Although there’s no fixed location for this quest, an optimal spot is near the elevator situated between the Water Treatment Control Building and the Research and Administration Building. I’ve frequently encountered Leapers in this area, particularly due to its map rotation.

This location is advantageous because of the surrounding bunkers, which provide shelter from the Leaper’s long-range attacks. Once targeted, quickly retreat into one of these bunkers. From there, you can attack the Leaper safely, as it cannot enter the building, keeping you out of harm’s way. If the Leaper retreats, attract it back by firing at it.

After you successfully eliminate the Leaper, be sure to collect its Pulse Unit. For a safe extraction, use the elevator lift present in the area, and don’t forget to return the Pulse Unit to Shani.

By positioning yourself inside the bunker, you can prevent the Leaper from inflicting any damage. Utilize heavy ammunition and explosives to maximize your damage output. Stock up on explosives, as they can significantly expedite the battle.

Your targets should be the knee-like joints or the central eye of the Leaper. In the bunker, it’s straightforward to aim for the eye with explosives. Once your explosives are depleted, focus on striking the eye with your firearms. Using the bunker strategy helps, as disabling its movement won’t yield substantial advantages.
