Arc Raiders ‘Boarding The Frigate’ Quest Walkthrough

The “Boarding The Frigate” mission in Arc Raiders lives up to its name, centering entirely around infiltrating a massive new Arc vessel. Released alongside the “Frozen Trail” update, the Frigate can materialize during matches on any map except Stella Montis. Surpassing even the Matriarch in scale and ferocity, taking down this colossal machine is a monumental challenge.

Before you can even think about destroying it, however, you have to get inside. Here is a complete walkthrough on how to conquer the “Boarding The Frigate” assignment in Arc Raiders.

‘Boarding The Frigate’ Quest Objectives in Arc Raiders

This assignment consists of just four primary objectives. Once you complete the initial step, the remaining three can be tackled in any order:

• Secure a way onto the top of the Frigate.
• Deal damage to a Hydra (100).
• Deal damage to a Vaporizer (100).
• Deal damage to a Rocketeer (100).

Because the vast majority of this mission revolves around dealing damage to deadly Arc adversaries, bringing the right gear is essential. We strongly recommend equipping a Hullcracker, seeker mines, wolfpack grenades, or other heavy explosives to give yourself the upper hand against these robotic threats.

How to Board the Frigate in Arc Raiders

When you deploy into an active Frigate match in Arc Raiders, you will witness the colossal mothership descend to hover ominously above the terrain. Simultaneously, escort craft will break off and scatter across the map. To infiltrate the Frigate, climb atop one of these smaller vessels and interact with the prompt to trigger a system disruption. This action forces the smaller ship to ferry you straight back up to the mothership.

Reaching the deck of these escort ships can occasionally prove difficult, so packing a snaphook and a grappling hook is highly advised. These traversal tools will also prove invaluable once you are aboard the Frigate, as you will need to navigate steep verticality. Upon arrival, weave your way through a labyrinth of interior tunnels and corridors until you finally emerge onto the upper deck.

How to Damage Arc Enemies on the Frigate

Once you reach the surface, you will encounter the three specific targets required for your objectives. Hydras function as lethal, three-headed turrets that erupt directly from the plating, while Rocketeers and Vaporizers patrol the skies alongside various smaller aerial drones. Be warned: as you damage the Frigate’s core systems and inch closer to exposing its hidden loot, enemy reinforcements will swarm the area in greater numbers.

Fortunately, you do not need to fully defeat the Frigate or complete the encounter to finish this assignment. As long as you successfully inflict 100 damage on each designated foe, the quest remains completed even if you perish shortly after. Saving the more complex puzzle mechanics for the subsequent follow-up mission, “Disrupting The Frigate,” will keep things simple.

Report back to Celeste to claim your well-earned spoils: 10,000 XP, a snaphook, a wolfpack, a Rascal I, and three rounds of launcher ammunition.
