Surveyor in ARC Raiders: drops, weakness and maps
Surveyor is a Reconnaissance unit with Low threat. The largest of the rolling ARC. It stops periodically to transmit signals. Rarely attacks, usually runs away from Raiders. Breaks into many pieces as damage is taken.
How to kill Surveyor
Exposes his energy core when shooting his blue beam into the sky.
Destroying it is worth 200 XP and looting the wreck another 300 XP. Bring enough ammo for its threat level and loot it fast: the noise draws other ARC and Raiders.
Where Surveyor spawns
Surveyor shows up on Dam Battlegrounds, The Spaceport, The Blue Gate and Buried City.
What Surveyor drops
Search the wreck for ARC Alloy, ARC Powercell, ARC Motion Core, ARC Circuitry and Surveyor Vault. These are the parts the workshop and projects ask for, so Surveyor is the farm target when you need them.
