ARC Raiders’ new Flashpoint update brings a new ARC mini-boss to the Topside. This new mini-boss looks similar to Rocketeer, but it does devastating laser attacks, instead of shooting rockets. It is a flying armored ARC, which seems to protect the new ARC Assessor during the Close Scrutiny map condition. In this guide, we will tell you where to find the Vaporizer and how to defeat it.
Where to Find the Vaporizer in ARC Raiders
The Vaporizer only spawns during the new Close Scrutiny map condition, and it stalks the areas around the ARC Assessor. To hunt down the Vaporizer in ARC Raiders, you will have to load into the Close Scrutiny map condition and head to the ARC Assessor location. The ARC Assessor flies down from the sky after the Surveyor calls for it by pointing a blue light in the sky. Follow the blue light in the sky and wait for the ARC Assessor to land.
Once you are close to the ARC Assessor, you should spot a patrol of ARC enemies, alongside the Vaporizer. Vaporizer is a big white flying armored ARC enemy patrolling the surroundings of the ARC Assessor.
How to Defeat Vaporizer in ARC Raiders
Vaporizer is a lot similar to the Rocketeer in ARC Raiders. It has the same flying criteria and acts the same when it spots a Raider. The sound it makes is very similar to the Rocketeer, but it does not shoot rockets; instead, it shoots blue lasers that deal fire damage to shield and health.
Vaporizer has eight thrusters in a pack of four. Each armored thruster part includes two thrusters in them. Taking down the Vaporizer is similar to a Rocketeer, but it does have more armor than a Rocketeer. It will take you a lot of firepower to take out four thrusters for it to fly to the ground and explode. However, it is not that simple, because the Vaporizer has a shield mechanic. It activates its shield around it, blocking all bullets and grenades from hitting it. While the shield is active, you cannot deal any damage to the Vaporizer. Moreover, the Vaporizer sometimes cancels its attack to deploy a shield when it takes a big hit. I recommend fighting the Vaporizer while within the cover of a building. This way, you can attack and take cover from Vaporizer whenever it’s aggressive or shielded.
