‘Boarding The Frigate’ quest walkthrough in Arc Raiders
Arc Raiders’ “Boarding The Frigate” quest, introduced with the “Frozen Trail” update, tasks players with boarding and defeating a new, formidable Arc machine enemy. The Frigate can appear as a map condition on any location except Stella Montis, positioning it as one of the game’s most challenging encounters—surpassing even the Matriarch in difficulty.
The quest consists of four straightforward steps, though only the first is mandatory in sequence; the remaining three can be completed in any order. Players must first find a way to get on top of the Frigate, then damage a Hydra unit (targeting 100 damage), and damage a Vaporizer. This flexible structure allows for varied approach strategies when tackling this formidable enemy.
The introduction of the Frigate expands Arc Raiders’ enemy roster with a particularly demanding boss-type encounter that requires coordinated effort and tactical positioning, given the emphasis on boarding the vessel before engaging its core systems.
