With the North Line update in ARC Raiders, we get the new Matriarch event, which introduces one of the strongest ARC enemies, the Matriarch. Matriarch is a hulking robot that only spawns during a specific live map event; without that event, you won’t be able to find it.
Finding the Matriarch is a challenge in itself, let alone defeating it. Defeating it is the only way if you want to get your hands on those Matriarch Reactors. Struggling to Find Matriarch in ARC Radiers? Don’t worry, as this guide will cover it all.

Matriarch Location In Arc Raiders
First, you will have to wait for the Matriarch event to start. Keep an eye out for the following text:
“A Matriarch has been sighted nearby. Her children seem hell-bent on keeping her from harm.”

Once you queue into the event and join the raid, explore the map and look for the boss marker or visual cues as the Matriarch spawns. On the Dam Battlehround map, I will mostly spawn in The Breach. However, in Spaceport, it spawns near the Launch Towers, so keep an eye out for that as well.
But what if the Martiarch icon isn’t on the map? This means that you have to see it first before it shows up.

The Matriarch is one hell of an enemy. I’m saying that it because it summons other ARCs such as Fireballs, Wasps, Leapers, Bastions, Bombardiers, and Rocketeers. These alone are pretty hard to defeat. This means that you should have a good and coordinated team. Weapons like the Hullcrackers can be extremely helpful.
After successfully defeating the Matriarch, you have the chance to get the following items:
- Matriarch Reactor
- Magnetic Accelerator
- ARC Alloy
- ARC Circuitry
- ARC Performance Steel
- Advanced ARC Powercell
- ARC Flex Rubber
- ARC Synthetic Resin
Remember, the more players you have on your side, the easier the fight becomes. Just play with good teamwork, and you will be good to go. I hope that this ARC Raiders guide was helpful
