Breaking Down the Queen Fight: Lessons from Shroud
Watching Shroud’s team operate was like seeing a live tutorial of how to approach endgame content in ARC Raiders. Their fight reveals several tactics that other players can emulate:
1. Target the Legs First
One of the most effective strategies Shroud’s team employed was focusing fire on The Queen’s legs. Damaging them causes the Queen to stagger and expose her brain, which is the key damage point. This mechanic turns the tide of the fight by opening up high-damage windows.
2. Timing is Everything
The brain is only exposed for a short period after the Queen is staggered. The team’s ability to synchronize their damage output during this phase determined how quickly they could bring her down. Shroud’s instinctual communication and positioning were critical here.
3. Handling Reinforcements
While dealing with the Queen, rocketeers and other mechanized enemies constantly attack. Shroud’s squad used Wolf Pack (MIRV Grenades) and Shock Grenades to neutralize these threats. One key tip: targeting a single thruster on the rocketeers is often enough to stop them from respawning.
