How to Easily Clear Emperor Dungeon in ARC Raiders

• Most people dread Emperor Dungeons, but  rewards are incredibly generous, with many drops holding their value and still usable in the mid-to-late game. So, is there a way to quickly clear Emperor Dungeons? I'll explain step-by-step, covering entry, preparation, and gameplay.

How to Enter Emperor Dungeon

First, you need to enter Pendola Pass Map during Redirection Map event. Once loaded, wait in place. You'll see a large area of ​​red laser beams on the ground. Don't hesitate; find the source of the light source and locate a conspicuous arc machine nearby. Seize the opportunity and loot the Emperor Payloads from it. This is the first step.

After obtaining Emperor Payloads, use them immediately by placing them on the ground. Be careful now! Immediately seek cover after placing it, as it will summon countless ARC fragments from the sky, raining down with high damage. Don't try to fight it head-on!

After the fragment rain ends, find a large container near where you placed Emperor Payloads. Inside, you'll randomly obtain one of three couplers: Conductive, Insulated, or Plated. The Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint can also be obtained this way.

The Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint is the rarest; it's normal to not get it after seven or eight tries. Don't be discouraged; keep trying, and you'll eventually get it.

Once you've collected all three couplers and Emperor Gateway Conduit Blueprint, go to your crafting table to craft the key to Emperor. Go to the Emperor's base; you'll see a hatch nearby. With the key, you can open the hatch and enter the instance.

Pre-battle Preparations

The instance contains Pops, Hydras, and various nodes, and the gas chambers are also unpredictable. You'll need adaptability, but also a complete set of equipment to tackle these challenging levels. Here's a recommended item list:

• Anvil
• Hullcracker
• Snap Hook
• Shield Chargers
• Heals and Stims
• Silencer

Once you have all the equipment, you can head to Emperor Dungeon. Note that once you die in the dungeon, there's no chance of being revived by your teammates, so please be careful.

Upon Entering

After using the key to enter Emperor Dungeon, you'll arrive at the ground level. There are many things to do on the ground level, which will prepare you for the subsequent exploration.

First, you'll see a bunch of small blue boxes. Shooting them will cause them to discharge electricity, providing a few seconds of safe passage.

Further ahead, you'll see Hydras standing in front of you. You can choose to use cannons to destroy them, or simply use the Snap Hook to launch yourself to a safe room and ignore them. Leaving Hydras behind can create some trouble for the other raiders, allowing for safer exploration later.

Upon entering the next room, you'll see many small yellow buttons on the walls. Your task is to shoot them all. Once all the yellow buttons are destroyed, the room will be powered on, and a powered elevator will be nearby. Wait for the elevator platform to reach its lowest point, then go up. After the elevator ascends, enter the doors with white lights on either side.

The subsequent paths are completely randomized, with many embedded levels within the Emperor. Trying to memorize every path will take significantly longer.

Here's a tip: observe both ends of all metal doors. If both ends are lit with white lights, that's where you're next! So, I'll now explain how to handle each small room.

1. Gas Chamber

When you're in the gas chamber, you'll find your stamina constantly decreasing. Immediately use Heals and Stims to maintain your health.

Once inside, the walls will continuously shrink inwards, creating sunken areas on the floor. Quickly enter these sunken areas and wait. Once the walls have finished shrinking, a gap will appear in front of you; this is your exit from the room.

2. Hydra Room

This room also contains many Hydras. Again, you can choose to eliminate them or leave them alone, as you can easily reach the next room using the Snap Hook.

In this room, find the container. Hook onto the top of the container. As the container moves, the exit is through the door directly above it.

3. Laser Room

As I mentioned, this room is filled with laser beams that can damage players. If you are a skilled player, you can carefully observe the laser patterns to avoid damage.

However, for me, continuing to use the Snap Hook to launch myself to the opposite corridor is the best option, even though it will take damage; it's the most convenient way.

4. Giant Moving Container

A room filled with industrial waste, with a giant ARC container overhead, slowly moving up and down. You can choose to climb up and take the elevator to jump across the room.

In Arc Raiders, the most important thing is the ability to handle various unexpected situations. These rooms contain unexpected dangers. Most of them have been described above. As for some mazes or narrow escape routes requiring jumping, they are not as challenging as the rooms mentioned above. If this still doesn't help you pass this dungeon, first consider upgrading your ARC Raiders items. Firepower can solve all threats!

Looting

After completing all the trials, you will enter a huge loot warehouse, filled with ARC loot chests, with a huge metal door at the back of the room.

Don't let your guard down at this point. Once you step into this room, countless ARC creatures will swarm in. Don't shoot them; just wait. The ARC creatures will disperse on their own once they determine you are no longer a threat.

Once they've completely left, you'll have likely already spotted six yellow buttons on the wall. You need to hit all of them.

While firing, Arc mobs might send reinforcements. Just like before, stop shooting and wait for them to leave.

After hitting all six buttons, you can safely loot all the Arc loot chests. The most valuable equipment is hidden in the cylinders protruding from the walls, so don't miss this golden opportunity.

Once you've collected all the supplies, you can choose to leave through the metal door. Alternatively, you can escape through the small door in the corner, which will take you to the very bottom of Emperor's Dungeon. You can also escape by jumping around on the ground a few times.

Conclusion

There are many different loot items in Arc Raiders' Emperor Dungeon; you can obtain them by exploring. However, for me, only the loot in the final room makes the journey worthwhile. Therefore, be sure to be vigilant about any dangerous situations during the exploration, and don't lose sight of the final loot by being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
