Matriarch in ARC Raiders: drops, weakness and maps
Matriarch is a Boss unit with Extreme threat. The Matriarch is an imposing ARC machine that makes the Queen look friendly and can be found during a specific map condition.
How to kill Matriarch
Central glowing core, which becomes exposed when it attacks. Leg joints are vulnerable too, as well as the red areas on the crown.
Destroying it is worth 1,000 XP and looting the wreck another 500 XP. Bring enough ammo for its threat level and loot it fast: the noise draws other ARC and Raiders.
