How to get and use Assessor Matrix in ARC Raiders

The Assessor Matrix is a new crafting material that you can find in ARC Raiders as part of the Flashpoint update. This material can only be found during a specific map condition, and you’ll need it for different reasons.

First, let’s find out how you can obtain the material.

How to get the Assessor Matrix in ARC Raiders

To find the Assessor Matrix, you’ll need to wait for the Close Scrutiny event. While this event only appears during a certain time of day, it can be active on any of the available maps (except Stella Montis).

When this map condition is active, ARC Assessors will spawn on the map at random locations. To get the Assessor Matrix, you’ll need to loot the dropships. However, this is easier said than done. Once you’re near one, look at the sky to spot three red beams.

Every Assessor has three containers for you to breach and search for loot. Enemies will guard these containers, so you’ll need to be careful. Once you’re near the ship, wait for the platform to show up. Use the platform to climb up and search the containers. If you’re in a group, any two of you should keep the ARCs distracted.

If you’re lucky, you should be able to find the Assessor Matrix in the containers. You could even obtain the blueprint for the Dolabra, which is a new shotgun.

So far, the Assessor Matrix appears to be required for completing the stages of the recent High-Gain Antenna player project. This project has three different stages, and you’ll need the Assessor Matrix to complete the tasks of the second and third stages.

It’s definitely worth taking the extra risk to collect the Assessor Matrix when the Close Scrutiny event is active.

Our beloved Scrappy is no longer the rooster that it was in ARC Raiders, and you can now feed it different items. The new feeding boost system is an extension of the default upgrade system since you can get bonuses.

This guide will state all the bonus rewards that you can get from feeding Scrappy with various food items.

There are two types of bonuses you can activate by feeding Scrappy. The table below has all the important information that you’ll need when trying to activate the boosts.

Food item	Feeding Rewards	Resource Bonus
Agave	Mods/Mod crafting materials	Assorted Seeds
Apricot	Gunsmith material or equipment	Metal Parts
Fruit Mix	Better chance of finding Topside materials	Rubber Parts Fabric Chemicals Metal Parts Plastic Parts Assorted Seeds
Lemon	Explosive Station materials or equipment	Chemicals
Mushroom	Gear Bench materials or equipment	Plastic Parts
Olives	Medical lab materials or equipment	Fabric
Prickly Pear	Utility Station material or equipment	Rubber Parts

Both the Feeding Rewards and Resource Bonus will be activated for one round once Scrappy has been fed. The bonuses and rewards will be determined by what you’re feeding Scrappy, and you can queue up to six different food items.

Once the round is finished, you’ll get your applicable rewards. The collection box has a limit, so check it after every round or two to see if Scrappy has managed to get anything valuable.

Once you have a food item, you can feed it to Scrappy. If you have extra, you can add it to the queue. That way, you won’t need to add the food item after every round manually. Once the round is over, you’ll get the bonus materials in the Collection Box.

Ideally, you should always feed food items that match your requirements (in terms of the offered bonuses).
