Ark Raiders: Queen Guide (Update 1.30)
This video is a guide on how to defeat the Queen in Arc Raiders. After the 1.30 update, as the existing 'Hull Cracker' strategy has weakened, we introduce a new strategy using the 'Deadline' item. We explain in detail the necessary equipment preparation, map selection, and how to attack the Queen's weaknesses.
Caution: Snap Hook and Antiquarian Cloak share a gauge, and Snap Hook cannot be used when the gauge is below half.
