Arc Raiders Launch Tower Event
For every Raider, the Arc Raiders Launch Tower event is a milestone. You can enter the Spaceport twice a day to outplay other players, battle Arc rivals, and get rare treasure. The event takes place for one hour at 11 PM PST/8 AM CET and 7 AM PST/4 PM CET. You can get through in two or three runs and take home a ton of loot if you plan.
Getting Started
Go to the Spaceport map and begin matchmaking to take part in the event. For a safer run, you can fully equip yourself or enter with a free loadout. Bring a strong loadout because Arc opponents attack aggressively, and other Raiders often contest the towers.
Reaching the Launch Towers
Spawn, and head straight to the Launch Towers in the center of the map. They’re the tallest structures, so spotting them is easy. Both side doors lock as you enter. A generator in the middle needs a Fuel Cell to activate.
Want a little edge before entering the towers? Grab a Leveling Boost in Arc Raiders to climb floors faster and rack up XP.
Fuel Cells spawn randomly near the tower. Grab one carefully: it slows you down and makes running impossible. Make sure no Arc enemies are nearby, or you could be in trouble. Once you place the Fuel Cell in the generator, pull the lever to open the gates. This lets you ride the ziplines up the towers.
Top Strategies for Climbing and Looting
You will encounter Pops, Fireballs, and other Arcs at the top. Remove them before going on to the roof. There is a switch-equipped, secured container here. When it activates, it makes a loud noise that attracts more flying Arcs, including Rocketeers.
- Solo players: To make looting safer, take your time and use smoke grenades.
- To hit both sides of the tower, teammates need to split up and cover one another. Facing tough bosses during the event? The Queen Boss Fight Guide shows how to deal with them efficiently and get top-tier rewards.
Keep in mind that there are lockable containers on both sides, so position your ziplines correctly and use the adjoining elevator to safely retrieve your stuff. Keep an eye out for campers close to extraction sites; they enjoy taking down looters to get free stuff. Need stronger firepower? Check out Weapons for Sale to pick a killer loadout.
Ideal Loadout
Bring a solid setup if you’re running alone:
- Combat Mk. 3 (Flanking) for Augment utility.
- Jolt Mines & Explosive Mines.
- Seeker Grenades & Wolfpacks.
- Barricades & plenty of heals.
- Trigger Grenades for aggressive Raider control. Unlock secret rooms with the Dam Staff Room Key Guide for extra loot.
Position mines at ziplines and staircases, and barricades on stairs and roofs to control enemy movement. Use Seeker Grenades on flying Arcs like Wasps and Hornets, and Wolfpacks for Rocketeers. Weapons like Renegade or Venator work great for both Arcs and other Raiders.
Arc Raiders Launch Tower event is thrilling, chaotic, and reward-rich. You can take control of the tower, grab every container, and safely escape if you have the right tactics, weapons, and traps. Always keep an eye out for campers at the extraction site, set up your runs, and cover your flanks. Enjoy your raids!
