# Enemies

In Arc Raiders, enemies are robotic units controlled by the hostile ARC forces, each designed to challenge players in unique ways. From small, agile drones like Wasps and Snitches to heavily armored units such as Sentinels and Bastions, these enemies vary in speed, attack patterns, and durability. Some focus on reconnaissance, others on explosive or ranged attacks, while boss-level enemies like The Queen present extreme challenges requiring strategy and teamwork to defeat. Overall, the enemies serve to test player skill, promote tactical decision-making, and create a tense, fast-paced combat environment that keeps every encounter engaging and unpredictable.
