Close Scrutiny is a new ARC Operation map condition introduced in the Flashpoint update (March 2026). During Close Scrutiny, an ARC Assessor deploys on the map, reducing available loot but offering valuable rewards for Raiders brave enough to engage it. The Vaporizer flying enemy also patrols the area.
Strategy & Tips
Close Scrutiny is high-risk, high-reward. Loot around the map is reduced, but the ARC Assessor itself holds valuable items. Bring weapons effective against ARC armor. Watch the skies for the Vaporizer — its laser attacks are devastating.
