The latest event in ARC Raiders has introduced one of the most rewarding — and dangerous — objectives yet: Assessors. These high-value drop points bring incredible loot potential, including the highly sought-after Dolabra Shotgun Blueprint. In this Arc Raiders Assessor farm guide, we'll share the best strategies to loot Assessors.

What Are Assessors in ARC Raiders?

Assessors are event-based drop pods that land in specific locations across the map. Once deployed, they contain multiple probes (loot points) that players can breach for valuable rewards. However, there’s a catch:

• They attract heavy ARC presence

• They trigger aggressive scanning behavior

• They often draw other players, increasing risk

Because of this, most players approach Assessors aggressively — and fail. The real key to success lies in stealth, patience, and precise execution.

Assessor 1 Loot Strategy (Safe Solo Entry)

Core Idea: Stay undetected → smoke → instant breach → cloak exit

Preparation

• Smoke Grenades

• Photoelectric Cloak

• Bring meds, shields, and a proper kit (don’t go naked)

• Must-have tools:

• Ensure cloak charge is at least 50%+

Execution

Wait for the assessor to land fully. Stay hidden — do NOT get spotted by ARC. Move in only when safe (preferably when ARC is distracted). Step onto the pad. Throw smoke at your feet immediately. Start breaching right away.

Key Mechanic

Once breaching starts → pad will NOT disappear. One smoke is enough to finish full breach safely.

Exit

Activate photoelectric cloak. Slowly move away and disengage. Let cloak recharge before next attempt.

Assessor 2 Loot Strategy (Opportunistic Looting)

Core Idea: Use other players or chaos as distraction.

Setup

Same loadout (smoke + cloak). Stay slightly behind or outside the main action.

Execution

Let other players trigger ARC aggro. While ARC is distracted → move in. Wait for the breach pad to appear. Drop smoke → start breaching instantly.

Important Notes

This is riskier but faster. Works best when ARC is targeting someone else and you stay out of direct sight.  

Fallback

If things get messy, back off immediately and reset position and wait.

Full Assessor Loot Strategy (3-Probe Clean Run)

Core Idea: Repeat safe loop → stealth → smoke → breach → reset

Step-by-Step Loop

1. Scout & Position

Choose assessors with good cover and nearby extraction (Xfil). Stay solo if possible.

2. Stealth First

Avoid ARC detection completely. If lightly detected (yellow/orange), break line of sight (bushes work).

3. Breach Cycle (Repeat 3x)

Wait until probe is ready. Throw smoke at feet. Start breaching immediately. Stay inside smoke until complete.

4. Between Breaches

Use photoelectric cloak to reposition. Wait for cloak recharge (very important). Do NOT rush next probe.

5. Survival Tricks

Bushes = aggro reset (if not fully detected)

Smoke even if no enemies nearby (breach triggers aggro)

Always maintain escape route

6. Exit Strategy

Once all probes looted, do NOT overstay. Head straight to extraction. Avoid unnecessary fights.

ARC Raiders Assessor Farm Tips for Zero-Damage Runs

1. Use Other Players as Distractions

If someone else triggers ARC aggro, let them engage. Slip in quietly. Loot while ARC is distracted. This is risky but very effective.

2. Always Throw Smoke (Even If It Feels Safe)

Even if no enemies are nearby, breaching itself can trigger ARC attention. Smoke ensures you stay hidden regardless.

3. Bushes Are Your Best Friend

If you’re partially detected, run into a bush. Break line of sight. Wait for aggro to drop. This can save your run.

4. Manage Cloak Cooldown Properly

Never engage if your cloak is below 50% charge or on cooldown. Your cloak is your escape — don’t gamble without it.

5. Choose Smart Extraction Routes

Always keep an exit plan, know where your nearest Xfil is. Stay within reachable distance. Avoid over-looting.

How to Farm the Dolabra Shotgun Blueprint in ARC Raiders

The Dolabra Shotgun Blueprint is one of the most desirable rewards from Assessors. It’s a random drop from probe loot. Drop rate is relatively low. Requires multiple successful runs.

Best Farming Method:

• Focus on consistent, safe runs

• Loot all 3 probes every time

• Avoid unnecessary deaths

Efficiency beats speed here.
