In Arc Raiders, the Harvester is a colossal drop pod filled with resources, always under the watchful eye of the formidable Queen. However, it can also pose a significant threat if approached carelessly. Inside the Harvester, you’ll find blueprints and a wealth of loot, but be warned: it’s rigged with traps that can ignite or electrocute unsuspecting players. Below, we’ll guide you through the steps to unlock the full potential of the Harvester and claim the best rewards.
The Harvester lurks in the shadow of the fearsome Arc Raiders Queen. You don’t need to defeat the Queen to access the Harvester, but if you’re curious about how to take her down, we have a guide for that!
Accessing the Harvester in Arc Raiders involves solving a multi-step puzzle to reach the most valuable loot inside. If you fail to solve it, the central loot will remain out of reach, and you’ll be at constant risk from the traps that activate periodically. Here’s how to navigate the challenge.
Be aware that fire and electric traps will trigger regularly. Read on for tips on how to deal with them.
The Harvester features two main traps: one that engulfs the area in flames and another that electrifies the floor, damaging players’ shields. Here’s how to manage both hazards.
Inside the Harvester, you’ll find a random assortment of Arc components and blueprints for the Jupiter and the Equalizer. However, the blueprints can only be accessed through the central console, and you’ll need to complete the puzzle to retrieve them. Keep in mind that to craft these powerful weapons, you’ll need to defeat a Queen and obtain the Queen Reactor, as well as have your Gunsmith table upgraded to Level 3.
Once you’ve crafted these super-weapons, there’s only one challenge left that truly tests their might. Will you dare to confront the Arc Raiders Matriarch?
