MMOexp ARC Raiders: Where to Find Bombardiers - Stellaol - 02-28-2026
For players tackling the Bombing Run quest, however, confronting a Bombardier is unavoidable. The challenge lies not only in defeating one, but in locating it safely and choosing the right strategy based on your gear and resources. This guide breaks down where Bombardiers spawn, how to identify them from a distance, and multiple ways to bring them down-whether you're fully geared or scraping by on ARC Raiders BluePrints limited supplies.
Where to Find Bombardiers in Arc Raiders
Bombardiers can spawn across most maps in Arc Raiders, with the notable exception of Stella Montis, where they do not appear at all. Each map features several potential spawn areas, and Bombardiers are known to roam, meaning they may not be standing exactly where you expect them.
Because of this, thorough scanning is essential. Even if you enter a known spawn zone and don't immediately see one, it may be patrolling nearby or partially obscured by terrain.
How to Spot a Bombardier Safely
One of the most reliable ways to locate a Bombardier from a distance is by identifying its Spotters. These smaller drones resemble Snitches but are distinguished by the blue lights beneath them. They actively scan the surrounding area and serve as early-warning systems for the Bombardier.
If a Spotter detects you, it will quickly alert the Bombardier, often triggering mortar fire before you've had a chance to find cover. For this reason, Spotters should always be considered the first priority when engaging or scouting a Bombardier. Spotting them early allows you to plan your approach, identify nearby structures for cover, and avoid being caught in the open.
How to Kill Bombardiers
There's no single "correct" way to defeat a Bombardier. The best method depends on your available equipment, crafting resources, and risk tolerance. Below are three proven approaches, ranging from fast and expensive to slow and methodical.
The Fast (But Expensive) Method
If you have access to high-end gear, the Bombardier can be eliminated surprisingly quickly.
The most effective option is bringing Wolfpack Grenades. Around four Wolfpacks are usually enough to ARC Raiders Loot buy destroy a Bombardier outright. Start by shooting down the Spotters, then throw the grenades high above the Bombardier so they rain down and detonate across its armor.
