Pop Enemy Guide | ARC Raiders Explosive Swarm Tactics

Time: 2025-12-21

Overview
The Pop is a compact, unarmored rolling machine often compared to a fiery, mobile explosive charge. Designed for rapid, impulsive assaults, it typically operates in swarms with little regard for self-preservation. Its sole purpose is to close distance and detonate, dealing significant area damage to Raiders caught within its blast radius.

Behavior & Detonation Mechanics
When activated, the Pop accelerates toward the nearest Raider, emitting a distinct beeping sound that increases in frequency as it approaches. Detonation is proximity-based, not time-based. Once within effective range, it initiates a short countdown before exploding, heavily damaging both shields and health.

Key Threat Notes

  • Pops can spawn in locked rooms and may lurk directly behind doors, exploding as soon as access is gained.

  • They are often audible or visible before becoming an immediate threat, but their speed and tendency to swarm require constant vigilance.

Weaknesses & Countermeasures
The Pop is unarmored and can be destroyed quickly with any weapon. Effective evasion tactics include:

  • Shooting it before it enters detonation range

  • Vaulting over ledges or obstacles it cannot traverse

  • Maintaining distance and using Dodge Roll to escape the blast

Loot & Crafting Materials
Destroying Pops yields volatile and valuable components useful for crafting and upgrades:

  • ARC Alloy

  • ARC Powercell

  • ARC Thermo Lining

  • Crude Explosives

  • Pop Trigger

(Note: Health values are approximate and may vary based on gameplay conditions.)
