Jupiter Sniper Rifle ARC Raiders Facts

Finding the Harvester Location

The Harvester machine sits in the northeast section of Dam Battlegrounds, right of the Power Generation Complex. Look for a distinctive circular icon on your satellite map marking the event zone.

⚠️ Threat Alert: The Queen ARC guards this area. While you can bypass her by rushing inside, she’ll obstruct your puzzle attempts. For smoother runs, eliminate her first or have teammates distract her.

Pre-Puzzle Preparation Checklist

✅ Full squad (solo is extremely difficult)
✅ Medical supplies (bandages, medkits, stims)
✅ Strong weapons for Queen ARC encounter
✅ Shield equipment (puzzle drains shields rapidly)
✅ Patience (multiple attempts may be needed)

Harvester Puzzle: Phase-by-Phase Breakdown

Phase 1: Power Cell Hunt

Step-by-Step:

1. Breach the Harvester entrance gate
2. Wait outside until initial flames subside
3. Take the lift to the upper section
4. Breach panels around the edges (multiple panels available)
5. If “search” prompt appears after breach, no Power Cell inside—move on
6. Only 3 panels contain Power Cells
7. Install each Power Cell in the central column’s three ports

Survival Tips for Phase 1

🔥 Yellow Signal = Flames: When the central cylinder turns yellow, evacuate immediately—massive flame damage incoming

⚡ Blue Electric Charge: Drains shields directly; exit when active

⏱️ Timer Management: Keep one eye on the countdown; plan your breaches accordingly

Phase 2: Alarm Destruction

Strategy:

• Yellow alarms activate once all Power Cells are installed
• Destroy alarms systematically (shoot or melee attacks work)
• Harvester releases Power Cells as you destroy alarms
• Reinstall ejected Power Cells into central column between alarm destructions
• Repeat until all alarms destroyed

Pro Tip: Coordinate with teammates—one person reinstalls cells while others destroy alarms for maximum efficiency.

The Reward: Jupiter Sniper Rifle Blueprint

Upon destroying the final alarm, the Harvester shuts down and spawns three loot containers. One contains the Jupiter Sniper Rifle blueprint along with valuable crafting materials.

What You Get

Important: This is a blueprint, not the weapon itself. You’ll need to craft the Jupiter Sniper Rifle using materials at your base after extraction.
