ARC Raiders Hive Update Matriarch Boss Defeat Guide

My hands were still shaking after last night. The new ARC Raiders update didn’t just throw in another big enemy – it dropped a full-on nightmare into the ruins. They call her The Matriarch. For days, my squad and I kept going in, thinking we had it under control, and every time we’d get shredded in minutes. It was brutal. If you’ve been there, you know the feeling – watching your shields melt while you’re scrambling for cover. Honestly, I started wondering if we’d ever beat her, but now I can say we did. And yeah, the loot was sweet, but the win felt even better. By the way, if you’re gearing up for it, getting some ARC Raiders Coins might help you prep for the fight.

When we first met her, we made the classic mistake – treated her like a big bullet sponge. Nope. She’s more like a commander, pulling strings on a swarm of smaller bots that never let up. Ignore them and you’re done in seconds. And that laser? If you’re caught in the open when she charges it, you’re toast. We’d go in guns blazing, thinking we could burn her down, but it was over before we could even dent her armor. You quickly realise brute force isn’t enough – you’ve gotta control the fight.

After failing more times than I’d like to admit, we finally changed our approach. We split roles. Two of us went light – SMGs, shock grenades – purely on add control. Their job was to keep the swarm off the boss team. I paired with our heavy weapons guy, focusing on The Matriarch herself. Kiting was key. Her leg joints glow before she stomps or charges, and breaking that armor opens up her weak points. Our heavy used a Stinger launcher to stagger her, giving me a chance to pour fire into exposed circuits. We moved constantly, using collapsed pillars as cover from the laser. Every attack had to be called out – it’s more like a dance than a shootout, and one wrong move means you’re done.

The final run was pure chaos. Comms were non-stop – “Swarms left!” “Laser charging, get behind cover!” “Leg’s cracked, hit it now!” I was down to almost no health, hiding behind a rock trying to reload, while our add-clear guys were getting swamped. Then the heavy landed a perfect Stinger shot. She staggered. That was our opening. We dumped everything into her core, and then she collapsed, sparks flying before the explosion. We just stood there, breathing hard, letting it sink in. Hardest fight in the game right now? Probably. Impossible? No way. With the right plan and a cool head, you can take her down too – and trust me, having some ARC Raiders Coins for sale in your pocket makes the road there a lot smoother.
