ARC Raiders Turbine Compressor: Where to Find and How to Use It

The turbine compressor is a new gadget introduced since the Riven Tides update in ARC Raiders. We'll break down here the best methods to get one, and how to use it.

How do you take down a turbine in ARC Raiders?

Turbines are admittedly less fearsome than Queens or Matriarchs, but they're often perched up high, which makes them hard to reach directly. What's more, they come equipped with a terrifying arsenal, including fearsome aerial missiles with alarming accuracy, and proximity mines that explode if you so much as brush against them. So you need to be extra careful!

Turbines eventually land on their three legs, and that's when their core becomes vulnerable. At this stage, three yellow canisters appear, and that's your moment to deal maximum damage. Use the available cover to block attacks while you aim precisely at these canisters.

Choose the right weapon

The Hullcracker is the right choice among all weapons. It's easy to get at the shop in exchange for credits. Its damage output is very high, and it doesn't require a perfectly aimed shot! Indeed, the shells explode on contact, which helps you destroy the canisters.

Tips

When you activate a turbine, target one canister at a time. Turbines only appear after fifteen minutes into a raid, so plan your strategy around that.

Using the turbine compressor in ARC Raiders

One of the main uses of the turbine compressor is crafting a powered descender. Its contribution is especially valuable for limiting fall damage by taking more time to descend. The turbine compressor is also needed to progress through the Avian Alarm project, which is broken down into five mandatory steps, each one requiring the use of a turbine compressor!
