ARC Raiders Leaper Kill Guide: How To Defeat It At Spaceport Bunker?

Posted: Dec 05, 2025 Views: 19

When looting or completing missions in ARC Raiders, you must be wary not only of other players who might try to steal your loot, but also of the existing ARC enemies who may attack at any moment.

Among the various ARC, the Leaper is an agile spider-like beast capable of leaping into combat and inflicting devastating damage. They frequently appear in high-risk areas, primarily to guard important objectives.

ARC Raiders Leaper Kill Guide: How To Defeat It At Spaceport Bunker?

Players will inevitably encounter them while searching for rarer loot. Into the Fray mission and weekly Trials also require players to eliminate or damage Leapers.

Furthermore, defeating a Leaper will drop ARC Raiders items, such as Leaper Pulse Unit, currently essential for Expedition Project Phase 4. Therefore, it's crucial to know how to easily defeat it in the game, rather than getting bogged down by it.

While Leapers look intimidating, they aren't the most difficult ARC enemies in the game. Forums have revealed their weaknesses, such as avoiding close-quarters combat and focusing on their leg joints-key to defeating them.

If you've also struggled with their presence in the game, then read on. I'll tell you the fastest way to kill Leapers, whether you're playing solo or in a team.

Location

After extensive testing in the game, we've found Spaceport to be the best location. The only downside is its open terrain, meaning you're likely to encounter other players besides Leapers, who might also attack you. However, this isn't unusual; it happens frequently in the game, so just be careful.

Specifically, it's located in the center of the map, near Central Elevator. There's a bunker northeast of the elevator, sandwiched between the elevator and South Trench Tower. This bunker is excellent for defending against sudden Leaper attacks because its entrance is sealed.

It's worth noting that if you arrive here but don't see the option to break in, be careful; another player has likely entered. Be cautious.

Leapers cannot enter the bunker, so when one attacks, keeping a distance from the window will almost eliminate damage. Focus on taking out the Leaper's allies first.

The area near the elevator is a common Leaper spawn point, but sometimes they'll also be on the other side of Launch Tower. In this case, you can try luring a Leaper to the bunker area, but this is risky as there's a short distance between the two locations.

So, if there are no Leapers near the bunker, loot other items and try reloading the map to see if they spawn.

Step By Step

1. Arm Yourself And Fortify The Bunker

All guns with Heavy Ammo can deal significant damage to Leapers, such as a max-level Anvil or Bettina. Therefore, ensure you have enough Ammo. Ammo generally spawns throughout the map, or can be found on stunned Raiders and destroyed ARC.

You can also use Hullcracke, but it's relatively rare, and its powerful attack should be saved for later against stronger enemies.

Throwable explosives are also useful, such as Grenades, but be very careful when using them. Since we're attacking from inside the bunker, if you miss and it bounces back into the bunker, you're in trouble.

In addition, the following items can help you deal with Leapers more effectively:

  • Barricade Kit: provides cover and blocks 500 damage until broken;
  • Door Blocker: can be installed on doors to prevent them from being opened;
  • Traps and mines: Blaze Grenade Traps, Jolt Mines, etc;
  • Lure Grenade: can attract ARC's attention and divert fire.

Although Leapers can't enter the bunker, other players can, so you need to prepare in advance and use the tools mentioned above to prevent other players from entering, otherwise you'll be attacked from both sides.

We recommend entering through the west door. Once inside, use Door Blocker to block the door, as the east door is more difficult to access, so try to avoid creating unnecessary trouble.

Make full use of your Traps, mines, and Barricade Kits. These will help you defend against enemies and other players, but be careful not to accidentally injure yourself.

2. Lure Leaper And Attack

After fortifying the bunker, you should be able to see Leapers outside. Usually, one will patrol nearby. If you don't see one, reload until you encounter one.

Then you can shoot at it to lure it in. It will then attack you. Since it can't enter the bunker, don't panic. However, remember to pay attention to its movements. Leapers like to charge up their attacks. Once you notice it charging, move away from the window immediately.

Prioritize attacking its eyes, as they are its weak points. If you have teammates, that's even better; strong firepower will make things much easier. If you don't have teammates, it's okay, but if you're alone, bring enough Ammo.

However, don't just defend without retaliating. Leaper isn't completely stupid; if it fires enough attacks and you don't retaliate, it will leave. At this point, you can fire another shot at it, causing it to become enraged again and try to enter the window, but it won't be able to.

At this point, increase your firepower until you destroy it.

3. Loot And Escape Quickly

Such a large-scale battle will easily attract nearby players, who might ambush you and enjoy your hard-earned loot. Therefore, you need to quickly loot the dropped items and then quickly escape.

Except during Night Raid when you can only leave via the elevator, it's recommended to use Raider Hatch Key to escape from another location, thus avoiding dealing with players near the elevator.

If you want to eliminate Leaper to complete the weekly mission, you can choose to do so during Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm, which will give you double challenge points. If your goal is simply to collect loot, try to avoid activating Electromagnetic Storm, as you risk being struck by lightning while looting.

Leapers spawn on many maps in ARC Raiders, but Spaceport bunker is the best choice, offering both protection and easy Leaper kills. Give this method a try, and good luck with your hunt!
