Arc Raiders features various ARC enemies, among which Tick ARCs are key for collecting Tick Pods. These small, agile enemies pose a unique challenge due to their jumping behavior and health-draining attacks. They are found mainly inside buildings.

Tick ARCs and Tick Pods: Locations

Tick ARCs are small spider-like robots that usually hide inside buildings, often in high-risk yellow or red zones. They leap at players and latch onto them, draining shields and health, requiring careful tactics to defeat. These enemies are commonly found in abandoned facilities or urban structures in all four maps.

The Tick Pod drops from these enemies and is essential for crafting, particularly to upgrade workbenches and other Workshop stations for better gear.
