ARCs are not just your enemies: they are a valuable source of high-tier items that are necessary to keep this little underground project of ours going.
We humans have a symbiotic relationship with these machines, and exterminating them completely wouldn’t be advisable. One items that the people of Speranza need are the Snitch Scanners, required for numerous crucial upgrades, much like other ARC parts like Hornet Drivers, for example.
If you were on the lookout for some of these, here’s what you should do.
Where to get Snitch Scanner in ARC Raiders
Snitch Scanners are, as the name implies, dropped by Snitches, the circular ARC that constantly scans for new threats and then calls in three more ARCs from orbit to help it out if it turns hostile. It’s always flying around the map looking for trouble, though I’ve noticed many more of them on Buried City than on any other map.
To get the Scanners, simply attack the Snitch and take it down, then loot its chassis. You might also discover husks and remains around the maps that should drop Scanners as well.
The best way to kill a Snitch is to bring it down before it calls in any reinforcements, and to do that shoot at its “wings.” It has three separate segments, each having some sort of “lightbulb” attached, and destroying two will send the thing flying to its doom super quickly. If you want to farm some extra ARC materials, though, let it call in the reinforcements and take them all down together.
The supports are usually two Wasps and a Hornet, which isn’t the strongest bunch.
