Arc Turbine Shakes Up Late Raids in Arc Raiders’ Riven Tides Update

Its late arrival turns the endgame into a risk–reward choice.

Overview

  • The Riven Tides update went live Tuesday with the Arc Turbine, a late-appearing aerial enemy that arrives near the end of raids.
  • Arc Turbines usually show up after about 15 minutes with a thunderclap cue, spawn inconsistently with rare double spawns, and most often drop along the north shore at Tidebreaker, Azzurro Beach, the Port Authority, or west of the Customs House.
  • It stays heavily armored in the air and only takes real damage when it lands and opens to reveal spinning yellow canisters.
  • Guides recommend planting Deadlines inside as soon as it lands or using a Hullcracker or a sniper to hit the cores from range, while staying clear of its lightning shots and proximity mines.
  • Killing one yields a Turbine Compressor used to craft the Powered Descender and to advance the Avian Alarm project, and the wider patch also adds the new Riven Tides map, fresh cosmetics and Trials Season 4, plus weapon-economy changes like durability loss.
