Assessor Matrix is a new material added in Arc Raiders ' Flashpoint update, and they're painfully hard to get.

If you thought finding some Vaporizer Regulators was bad, buckle up, buddy.

But you'll still have to get them, since the High-Gain Antenna project demands you find 24 of the suckers.

That's a lot, by the way.

I'll cover how to get Assessor Matrixes below, as well as a few tips that'll help you actually grab them, as it's far easier said than done.

Most importantly of all, bring strong Arc-slaying guns like the Hullcracker or Aphelion and plenty of healing.

You can only get Assessor Matrixes by breaching and looting the Assessor drop pods during the Close Scrutiny map condition.

For now, at least, this event will always be active on one of the available maps at any given time.

Assessors are three-legged platforms that fall from the sky, and when they land, they'll emit red laser beams.

Track one down, and you'll see that it has three breachable containers.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between.

Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost?

He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years.

At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor.

In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games.

If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
