The Rocketeer Driver is a useful and rare item in ARC Raiders. You can get it by defeating Rocketeers or looting their broken parts found in certain areas. It is used for crafting new gear or upgrading your workshop. In this guide, we will show you how you can find Rocketeer Drivers and take down Rocketeers safely.
How to Find Rocketeer Driver
The Rocketeer Driver is an epic item that you can get by destroying Rocketeers or looting their husks, and it is useful for both crafting and workshop upgrades. Recycling one Rocketeer Driver gives you two Advanced Electrical Components and three Arc Alloys, making it a valuable resource.
Rocketeers appear most often in a few key locations. In the northwest area of Dam Battlegrounds, you will find a high number of husks, making it easy to check multiple spots in one run. The South Swamp Outpost usually has one or two husks nearby, while both Old Battleground and Ben Welder’s Sunroof offer consistent Rocketeer debris spawns as well.
How to Defeat the Rocketeer
The Rocketeer is one of the most dangerous ARCs you will face, and going up against it without proper cover is a quick way to get yourself killed. Before you start the fight, make sure to stay inside a building or behind something solid. Focus your attacks on its thrusters, especially two of them in particular.
Just like other flying ARCs, taking out two of its thrusters will make it crash to the ground. If it falls from a high enough height, the impact alone can destroy it. And if it stays grounded for too long, it will eventually catch fire and explode on its own.
You can also get creative with Lure Grenades during this fight. If there’s another ARC nearby, try sticking the grenade onto it. The Rocketeer will target that ARC instead, damaging it in the process. When you see the Rocketeer’s laser disappear, it means it’s locked onto you. That’s your cue to dodge. Either perform a quick roll or get behind cover to avoid its incoming attack.
