The Assessor Matrix is a new crafting material that you can find in ARC Raiders as part of the Flashpoint update. This material can only be found during a specific map condition, and you’ll need it for different reasons.
First, let’s find out how you can obtain the material.

How to get the Assessor Matrix in ARC Raiders
To find the Assessor Matrix, you’ll need to wait for the Close Scrutiny event. While this event only appears during a certain time of day, it can be active on any of the available maps (except Stella Montis).
When this map condition is active, ARC Assessors will spawn on the map at random locations. To get the Assessor Matrix, you’ll need to loot the dropships. However, this is easier said than done. Once you’re near one, look at the sky to spot three red beams.
Every Assessor has three containers for you to breach and search for loot. Enemies will guard these containers, so you’ll need to be careful. Once you’re near the ship, wait for the platform to show up. Use the platform to climb up and search the containers. If you’re in a group, any two of you should keep the ARCs distracted.
If you’re lucky, you should be able to find the Assessor Matrix in the containers. You could even obtain the blueprint for the Dolabra, which is a new shotgun.
As you might have found out in the first 24 hours since the Flashpoint update, it’s not easy to loot an Assessor. Here are a few tips and tricks that have worked well for me.
- Use a Photoelectric Cloak. Using it is tricky, as you can’t use a gun, so it’s pretty easy to get targeted by other raiders. However, this device will complete mask your presence and hide you from every ARC enemy in the vicinity. It’s a great device to use if you want to loot without getting stuck in a fight.
- Smoke Grenades are a must as you’ll want to hide your location from other raiders. You can use it to quickly loot the containers and escape without getting shot by other players/ARCs.
- Having your buddies will be helpful, as will be heavy hitters like the Hullcrackers. Since the Assessor can also have Vaporizers nearby, bring a Wolfpack or two to melt them in seconds.
How to use the Assessor Matrix in ARC Raiders
So far, the Assessor Matrix appears to be required for completing the stages of the recent High-Gain Antenna player project. This project has three different stages, and you’ll need the Assessor Matrix to complete the tasks of the second and third stages.
It’s definitely worth taking the extra risk to collect the Assessor Matrix when the Close Scrutiny event is active.
