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. Each one has a chance to spawn an Assessor Matrix, so you could get lucky and find three of them. Assessors also contain a variety of Arc materials and potentially even the new Dolabra blueprint if you’re lucky.
However, Assessors are heavily guarded by Arcs and often contested by other players. While you could work together to take down the Arc guarding the cache, you also risk other players getting to the loot before you. What you can do to improve your chances is to:
Use a Photoelectric Cloak to sneak in and out while breaching so you can grab the loot while other players are busyThrow smoke grenades while you’re breaching a container to avoid Arc tracking you, letting you grab the loot and runBring friends and strong gear like Hullcrackers and Wolfpacks to kill Vaporizers and other Arcs that spawn, and divvy up the loot between you
Nevertheless, you’ll have to brave the Close Scrutiny event in search of Assessors one way or another, and it won’t be particularly quick to collect everything you need.
