ARC Raiders players discover simple method to counter the Queen

Fighting the Queen in ARC Raiders is one of the most dangerous encounters in the game. These massive enemies can eliminate players in an instant and attack even at long range through cover. However, the community discovered a simple tactic that significantly eases the boss battle.

Gamer Zealousideal_Chip456 demonstrated an effective method for fighting the Queen at long range. Staying far from the boss protects players from lasers, EMP, and physical attacks, but mortar shells can reach across the entire map. The solution turned out surprisingly simple – shells can be shot down mid-air.

To do this, players need to track the projectile's trajectory and shoot it down before it lands. This requires some accuracy, but after several attempts the technique becomes routine. In the clip, the player used Hairpin, though almost any weapon can handle shooting down projectiles in flight.

The tactic doesn't eliminate the need to move and shoot the boss, but it protects against long-range attacks. Worth noting that Embark is considering increasing the difficulty of Arcs and their spawn rates on maps, which would make the game even more demanding.
