The Bastion is a massive-armored ARC Machine in Arc Raiders that needs cooperation and teamwork to defeat. Here is a brief guide.

Bastion in Arc Raiders has been a massive obstruction to some players and their quests. Without proper teamwork, beating this semi-giant armored head on is an impossible task. However, like all ARCs, it also has a few weaknesses that you can take advantage of with your teammates. Here is a brief guide on how to defeat Bastion and get that nice loot.
How To Defeat Bastion in Arc Raiders

To Defeat Bastion, you need to fight in an open space with enough cover for you and your team. With its signature machine gun at the front, any target that is locked gets rained on by a massive number of bullets. Plus, its strongest armor plating lies on the front of the ARC and is nearly impossible to destroy.
However, it is a slowly moving four-legged bot that can be whittled down slowly. The main weaknesses of the Bastion are its rear yellow cylinder and kneecaps. After your teammate aggros it towards themselves, you and the rest can go to its sides and start shooting it down. Heavy ammunition is the best way to keep DPS constant and deaths minimal. Guns like Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers and Heavy Machine Guns are best against its sturdy armor.
Usually, the Bastion circles around choke points and high resource areas with a few other drones as well. Take them down before you fight the Bastion.
During the fight with Bastion, he has a few predictable moves that you need to be wary of. Its screeching sound indicates a hail of gunfire around its area, so make sure to run for cover. Whoever gets locked on should focus on getting away, while their teammates flank the Bastion.
For Solo players, it is better to defeat it using mines and cover. However, defeating it can give a lot of loot, especially ARC alloys, which are a valuable resource in Arc Raiders.
