This post was created as part of Nexon PEAK activities, and rewards are provided accordingly.

Hello!

I’m Nexon Picker PisTime.

ARC Raiders features all kinds of machines known as Arks.

In my previous post, I covered strategies for several different Arks, but

the one I’m introducing today is on an entirely different level.

This time, we’re taking on the Queen of the Ark, Queen

in the Conquering the Queen of the Ark quest!

To be honest, I still haven’t destroyed Queen myself.

But I do know how to find her,

and I looked into how other players are hunting her down.

So based on that information, I’ll walk you through the strategy,

and if you clear the quest during the event period, you can claim 15,000 Nexon Cash!

Once the event begins, the quest participation button will appear at the bottom of this post.
Event Period: November 3, 3:00 PM - November 14, 11:59 PM

Mission

Destroy Queen!

First, let’s go over how to encounter Queen.

Sometimes, an event called the ‘Extractor’ will start somewhere on the map.

When that happens, a giant extractor appears, and Queen shows up to protect it.

If you keep an eye on the map,

you’ll spot something like this called an Ark Extractor.

Head there, and you can run into Queen right away.

Queen Hunt Step 1

Stop the Extractor!

Just looking at her is enough to feel how intimidating she is.

Ark Extractors are objectives that reward you with valuable loot

if you complete their specific mechanic.

You can enter the extractor without fighting Queen first,

and stopping the extractor makes the Queen fight much easier.

I’ll show you how to farm the extractor too!

Inside the extractor, electricity and fire burst out at regular intervals.

Watch the timing carefully, open the entrance, and move in.

If you rip open the wall panels or check the floor, you’ll find cylindrical batteries.

In the middle, there are 3 battery slots,

and once you insert all 3, yellow safety devices will appear around the area.

Destroy all of those devices, and a lootable object will appear in the center.

I’ve heard rare weapon blueprints can drop too, so the rewards are definitely worth it.

More importantly, it also gives you solid cover to work with,

so if you want to take on Queen, you should deal with the extractor first.

Electric shocks pulse periodically and break your shield,

while fire spreads outward and inflicts burn damage.

If you don’t account for this mechanic, things can get dangerous fast, so stay sharp!

Queen Hunt Step 2

Pour on as much firepower as possible!

As I mentioned earlier,

I still haven’t taken Queen down myself.

So for your sake, I dug through all kinds of sources to gather information.

After some serious searching, I found a video of 3 FPS pro gamers fighting Queen.

I’ll break down the strategy using that video as a reference.

First, you need to stop the extractor.

Just like I explained earlier, find the cylindrical batteries and insert them,

then destroy all of the yellow safety devices.

Then toss a grenade called

Wolfpack, which is incredibly powerful against Arks!

Wolfpack splits into multiple homing missiles

and attacks Arks.

Then use heavy ammo weapons

to deal direct damage to Queen.

The recommended starter weapons are Ferro and Anvil.

Anvil in particular, which was also used in the video, is especially effective against Arks.

At that point, you can use the extractor as cover while you recover.

If you keep up that kind of firepower,

even Queen, the Queen of the Ark, will eventually go down.

Still, considering it took even 3 pro gamers more than 15 minutes,

there’s no question this is a very difficult quest.

Today, I failed to make it back to Speranza…

Out of all the PEAK Quests I’ve introduced so far,

this one is the toughest yet.

But that also means the rewards are bigger,

so put in the effort and go for the clear!

This has been PisTime.

Be sure to take on the other quests too!
