Take part in the Harvester event in Arc Raiders, escape the wrath of the Arcs and collect high-tier loot as a reward.
The Harvester is one of the many map conditions available in Arc Raiders. This event will take place in either the Dam Battlegrounds, Blue Gate, or Spaceport map. What makes the Harvester truly special is the high-tier loot you can collect after completing the puzzle. This also includes two legendary blueprints, which have a very small spawn rate otherwise.
In this article, we will explore the Harvester event in Arc Raiders.
Harvester Event Overview in Arc Raiders
Event Description: A mysterious harvesting machine has appeared, heavily guarded by the feared Queen. What kind of riches are to be found within?
The Harvester is heavily guarded by multiple flying Arcs, the Rocketeer, and the Queen. You can either choose to take the fight to the Queen or make a run for the Harvester when the Arcs are distracted. When going for this raid, make sure to keep a zipline handy.
Another tip to keep in mind is to remove your shield once inside the Harvester. There are occasional shock discharges that do not affect your health but will render your shield useless. Occasionally, the Harvester will switch between a capsule launch and an electricity discharge. There are two different light glows from the reactor you need to watch out for inside the Harvester.
- Yellow Light: A capsule will be launched, during which the Harvester will fill up with fire. Run outside the Harvester before the flames engulf you.
- Blue Light: Electricity is discharged. Non-threatening, but remove your shield to preserve its health.

How To Solve the Harvester Riddle
To complete the objectives within the Harvester and collect the rewards, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Enter the Harvester
Once you reach the Harvester, attach the zipline from a safe location all the way toward one of the entrances. The zipline will prove useful for quick escapes to survive the Arcs’ onslaughts. Make sure to wait for the Queen and Rocketeer to be looking elsewhere.
When you reach the entrance, approach the grill, click the prompted button, and enter through the openings. Once inside, you are safe from the Arcs.
Step 2: Search for the Fusion Cores
You will notice one fusion core spawning on the ground for your convenience. This is one of the three you need to place inside the reactor. To find the other two, you will need to jump onto the moving platforms on the sides. Every few seconds, these platforms rise and fall. Use them to climb to the upper level and breach the containers to find the remaining two fusion cores. Once you find them, bring them to the floor and keep them together to save time.
Step 3: Insert the Fusion Cores into the Main Reactor
For this step, you need to move quickly. First, interact with the machine to open up a slot. Then, pick up one of the fusion cores and interact again to insert it. Repeat this step three times around the main reactor.
If you are not quick enough, the reactor will turn yellow. If it does, drop the fusion core and rush outside the Harvester to avoid incineration. Return and insert all three fusion cores to proceed to the final step.
Step 4: Destroy the Yellow Blinking Buttons
Once all the fusion cores are placed inside the reactor, 12 yellow blinking buttons will spawn across the inner walls. Quickly destroy each of these buttons to complete the puzzle.
This is easier when you have more raiders, as each button requires a lot of damage to destroy. The good thing is that once you break a button, it will not spawn again during your next attempts, leaving fewer to destroy.
After finally breaking them all, the puzzle will be complete, and three large containers will reveal themselves, containing tons of high-tier loot. This is also where you will find the highly sought-after Equalizer and Jupiter blueprints.
