The Bombardier, a towering mechanical menace, dominates expansive regions in Arc Raiders. Direct confrontations are perilous, as its high-precision mortars eliminate players instantly, even behind barriers. Strategic positioning is crucial to avoid its devastating area-of-effect strikes.

Exploiting this enemy’s vulnerabilities demands preparation. Equip **Wolfpack explosives** for optimal efficiency, as they significantly accelerate its defeat. Coordinate with allies if these tools are unavailable to overwhelm its defenses.

Bombardier Tactics Overview

Key Engagement Zones 

Optimal encounters occur near **Plaza Rosa** within the **Buried City** sector. Ascend the eastern structure’s rooftop for a tactical advantage overlooking Main Street. Note that Bastion units might occupy this area alternatively—adjust strategies accordingly. Reference the provided map for precise coordinates.

Combat Approach 

Prioritize eliminating accompanying Spotter drones to disable targeting systems. Elevated positions allow safe bombardment using explosives or sustained gunfire. **Two Wolfpack grenades** achieve immediate destruction—retreat during reload phases to evade retaliatory strikes.

Group efforts enhance success rates: flank maneuvers and coordinated barrages destabilize the machine. Explosives’ widespread damage often triggers critical hits, bypassing armor layers. Maintain constant repositioning to confuse its artillery algorithms.

Structural Vulnerabilities

Focus attacks on the **exposed rear cylinder**, which lacks protective plating. Sustained assaults on **knee joints** impair mobility and reveal supplementary weak points. Team-based crossfire proves effective for accessing these areas safely.

Post-Combat Protocol

Post-victory security prioritizes concealment—deploy **smog canisters** before scavenging to obscure visibility. Prioritize central wreckage sections containing premium components, remaining vigilant for rival players or automated threats.
