In ARC Raiders, there is a rare and exciting event called Harvest that can appear on any map at random. It is a special event where players need to enter a downed ship, solve a puzzle inside, and claim valuable loot and items, including legendary weapon blueprints like the Equalizer and Jupiter. However, this event is not easy, and it is a high-risk, high-reward challenge. You need at least one more player besides you to pull this mission off. Our ARC Raiders Harvester Guide details how you can complete this Harvester Mission easily and bring home the best loot.
Step 1: Finding the Active Harvest Event
The Harvest event, as discussed above, does not appear all the time. It appears randomly on one of the available maps. So, before joining a match, check the map screen to see if the event is active. If you see it, make sure to equip your strongest gear and bring a zip line, which can be bought from the Apollo Trader.
One of the most common places to find the event is the Dam Battlegrounds map. Once you arrive there, head southeast of the Power Generation Complex, near Red Lake, where you will see the ARC Queen and several other machines.
Before going inside, it is good to set up a zip line from a safe area to the Harvester. This will make it easier for you to reach the ship quickly and escape fast once the puzzle is complete.
Step 2: Entering the Harvester
Keep an eye on the ARC Queen and nearby enemies. Wait for them to move away from one of the exhaust vents of the Harvester. As soon as the vents are clear, use your zip line to move in and breach the ventilation door to get inside the ship.
Once you are inside, remove your shield so it does not get damaged by the electrocution inside the Harvester. Now, you and your mates must find three power capsules, which are hidden behind panels in the upper section of the ship.
After finding all three, go to the center pillar and breach the panels there first, and then insert the power cells. Be quick because if the pillar starts flashing red, it means you will have to reinsert the capsules again.
Step 3: Destroying the Yellow Buttons
Once all three power cells are inside the pillar, yellow buttons will appear on the walls inside the Harvester. You need to destroy them either by shooting or using melee attacks.
If you cannot destroy all the buttons before the Harvester prepares another missile, you will need to repeat the process. However, buttons you have already destroyed will stay gone.
After successfully destroying all the yellow buttons, the center pillar will release three loot containers. Open them to claim items, including legendary weapon blueprints such as the Equalizer and Jupiter.
Once you have grabbed everything from inside the Harvester, you need to extract. Use the ventilation doors to exit and wait for the ARC Queen to turn away. When it is not watching, run quickly toward the nearest extraction point.
