Mixed Signals: Tips

  • Always watch for the blue laser beam in the sky to quickly locate the ARC Surveyor.
  • Use heavy ammo and weapons with high ARC armor penetration to break the Surveyor’s tough shell faster.
  • Use high ground like cliffs or rooftops to spot Surveyors from a distance early in the match.
