Bastions Arc Raiders are armored tanks that use gatling weapons, but drop valuable arc raiders materials.
Arc Raiders Bastions may be the most powerful robots of all, but to obtain Bastion cell you'll have to find and kill them. It's hard to predict where to find Bastions, as they can spawn anywhere, including with Bombardiers. At the time of writing, however, Stella Montis is a consistent place to find them. How to find Bastions in the game, where to get their cells, and how to beat them will be explained.
While Bastions can appear in many locations, the one we have seen so far is the lower Loading Bay on the central Arc Raiders Stella Montis game map. It's the same every time. You can conveniently shoot at them from the upper levels. They are less likely to reach you. There's still a chance that it will fire at you but the map is covered and there are many places to retreat, heal, and use shields. It's hard to imagine a place where you can hunt them better in Arc Raiders.
The Bastion has two weak points: the yellow joint on its legs, and canister on its back. If you want to stun or damage the Bastion significantly, then use armor-piercing attack on these two sections. By destroying their back canister you'll reveal an enormous tank, which is even more damaging to the Bastion.
Other than that, you should use heavy-duty weaponry and fire attacks as Bastions are slow and will find it difficult to avoid or leave areas in flames. arc raiders coins can provide you with the following weapons and gear to hunt Bastions.
Guns
Anvil
Aphelion
Bettina
Ferro
Hullcracker
Explosives
Blaze Grenade
Deadline
Explosive Mine
Heavy Fuze Grenade
Jolt Mine
Snap Blast Grenade
Trigger 'Nade
Wolfpack
When you have destroyed the base, check for all of its pieces. Bastion Cells are rare and can appear more than once per Bastion. This means that if one piece of metal is missed, you might not receive your full reward.
If you are upgrading the Gear Bench level 3 you will require six Bastion cells. You'll have to kill at minimum two Bastions, and then fully harvest the parts.
