The Boarding the Frigate quest in ARC Raiders introduces you to the new mega boss enemy that has been added to the game as part of the Frozen Trail update. If you felt that the Matriarch was massive, you will think twice after seeing the true size of the frigate.
It’s also an enemy that cannot be damaged from the outside, which makes it critical to board it first. In this guide, I will teach you how to complete this quest and successfully board the Frigate.

ARC Raiders Boarding the Frigate quest walkthrough
The Boarding the Frigate quest can be broken down into two broad parts. First, the challenge is to board the Frigate itself. You need to start a new round on a map where the Frigate is currently live. The system is the same as the Matriarch and the Queen raids.
Boarding the Frigate
When you spot the Frigate on the map, your priority is to look into the ground. There will be circular discs that you can board, and you will then get an option to disrupt them.
You will find several of them bordering the Frigate, but they will be on the ground. When you disrupt one of these pods, it will start moving upward and take you to the Frigate. From there, you have to jump and reach up to access the main areas of this massive ship.
You don’t have to worry about taking any damage when you are on this pod, since there’s an active shield that protects you.
Damage a Hydra
For this part, you will have to look for a Hydra that’s pretty easy to find. You just need to do 100 damage to it, and destroying it is not mandatory.
Damage a Vaporizer
Vaporizers are relatively similar to fireflies in terms of what they do. They will try to get close to you and burn you down. Again, you have to deal 100 damage to them to complete the task.
Damage a Rocketeer
The rocketeer appeared for us only after we had done a massive amount of damage. Thankfully, killing the rocketeer is not necessary, but you must seek shelter first to protect yourself. Thereafter, you will have enough room to do the required amount of damage.
