ARC Raiders Wiki
Tick
Fodder / Swarm
Overview
Ticks are small, fast-moving quadrupedal machines designed to overwhelm intruders through sheer numbers. Individually weak, they become a massive threat when a swarm surrounds a distracted Raider. Spawns in All Zones (often found in clusters in urban areas).
Behavior & Attacks
- Dormant: Clings to walls or ceilings, blending into the environment until disturbed.
- Swarm Mode: Rushes the target erratically, attempting to leap and detonate on impact.
Weak Points & Tactics
Central Eye
Shooting the red glowing eye causes immediate detonation, often taking out nearby Ticks.
EMP / Explosives
Highly vulnerable to EMP and explosive damage.
Tactical Approach
- Do not let them get close.
- Use SMGs or Assault Rifles to pick them off at a distance.
- If swarmed, an EMP Grenade will instantly disable all Ticks in its radius.
