ARC Raiders: Where to Find Bastions

One of the most challenging enemies in ARC Raiders is Bastions, a large machine that can shred your entire health bar with its turret. However, Bastions also have some of the most valuable loot in the game, meaning it's important to hunt them down and defeat them.

In order to find Bastions in ARC Raiders, you need to know where to look. While these enemies are large in size, they are typically tucked away in secluded areas and not found in open spaces.

If you’re looking to go Bastion hunting, this guide has you covered. Read further to learn how to find Bastions on all maps in ARC Raiders.

Bastion Locations in Dam Battlegrounds

There's a chance for a Bastion to appear in two different locations on the Dam Battlegrounds map in ARC Raiders. First, you can find a Bastion patrolling near the Red Lakes Balcony on the west side of the map. You can also find a Bastion in the northern parts of the Hydroponics Dome Complex area.

Unfortunately, I don't recommend going to Dam Battlegrounds to fight Bastions, even though they do appear here. The reason for this is that they spawn in the wide open, providing almost zero cover for defense against their turrets.

Bastion Locations in Buried City

There's a chance for two Bastions to appear on the Buried City map in ARC Raiders. First, a Bastion has a chance to spawn in Marano Park on the northern part of the map.

Players can also expect to find a Bastion on the southern side of the map, in the Old Town area. It can be found roaming near the Red Tower and Santa Maria Houses.

Bastion Locations in Blue Gate

After playing on the Blue Gate map for many hours, I have had luck finding a Bastion in two key locations. The most consistent location is in the Checkpoint area in the center of the map. It can be found patrolling the north part of Checkpoint, just inside the tunnel.

I have also had luck finding a Bastion near the Ruined Homestead in the Farmlands region of Blue Gate. However, this one is far less consistent than the Checkpoint Bastion, so I recommend just going there instead.

Bastion Locations in Spaceport

Out of all the maps in ARC Raiders, Spaceport is arguably the best to go Bastion hunting. There are three possible Bastion sighting locations on Spaceport: north of the Launch Towers, east of the Launch Towers and south of the Rocket Assembly, and between the Arrival Building and Departure Building.

Out of those three, you'll have the best luck finding a Bastion north of the Launch Towers. Still, I found that the spawn rate for all three locations to be pretty consistent, so any search area should work.

Bastion Locations in Stella Montis

Stella Montis is the only map in ARC Raiders that has a 100% definite Bastion spawn location. There is only one Bastion on the Stella Montis map, and it can be found patrolling the lower section of the Loading Bay on the east side of the map.

I highly recommend bringing a squad with you to take down this Bastion, mainly because Stella Montis is a close quarters map and there is not much room for error, since running away can be tricky.
