If you keep burning raids on the Harvester puzzle and watching your loot explode with you, you are definitely not the only one, and stacking a few more ARC Raiders Coins is not going to fix it on its own. What actually helps is a couple of simple setups that do not need fancy blueprints or streamer gear. You can grab almost everything from traders and jump in. One setup is for when you are chasing that Jupiter print and want to blast through the encounter fast. The other is for when you are done with the unlock and just want steady materials without some random squad third‑partying you every time.

Fast Jupiter blueprint runs

For the speedrun style, think light and direct. You run a Renegade with an extended medium mag, no debate there, because the whole route leans on that mag size and consistency. Pair it with a Kettle for those messy close‑range moments when mobs or other raiders get in your face. A Stitcher on the side is nice if you expect PvP, but you can skip it if you are confident or broke. The idea is to move quickly, take a zipline behind the Harvester while the Queen is already busy, and avoid walking straight through the killzone. Once you are inside, watch the core color on the Harvester. If it flashes blue, strip your armor off right away so the shockwave eats your health but not your shields. If it glows red, you bail out fast, because that blast hits harder than people expect and it is usually what ends a good run early.

Cleaning up the puzzle safely

One little habit makes these runs way less stressful. When you pick up a core, do not rush to plug it in. Drop each one on the floor in a safe spot as you collect them, then when you have the full set, slot them all in at once. That way you only trigger the real puzzle phase one time. When the nodes light up, the Renegade just three‑taps them, so you clear the sequence before most players even realise it started. After that, you still need the Queen dead for the Jupiter blueprint, and it only comes from the main core. Her leg cores are nice but do nothing for that print. As soon as her armor bar cracks, swap to the Kettle and focus on the yellow joints. She falls over pretty fast if you hold your ground, but do not zone out when she drops. Her main core loves to roll off into grass or under weird terrain angles, and a lot of players leave it behind without noticing.

Safer farming at the Dam

Once you have Jupiter unlocked, grinding the Harvester over and over starts to feel pointless and way too risky. If you only need mats, the Dam is a much nicer spot. Switch your main gun to a Patina with an extended barrel, because that thing chews through Arc armor like it was paper. The layout at the Dam gives you big rocks and broken terrain that the Queen struggles to path around smoothly. You kite her in a loose circle, always keeping something solid between you and her main attacks. You are not trying to full‑kill her here, which is where a lot of people waste time. You just break the leg armor, pump shots into the joints, grab the cores that drop, then move out when it starts to feel sketchy.

Looping the Queen and keeping your stash growing

The funny thing with the Queen is that she is persistent for a bit, then she just loses interest once you pull far enough away. When that happens, she walks back toward the Harvester like nothing happened, and that is your window. You can loop back to where you cracked her legs, pick up any cores you left on the ground, and reset the whole dance without ever committing to the full encounter. It is slower than rushing the puzzle, sure, but it avoids the constant PvP chaos around the main site and lets you build up crafting resources in a more controlled way. If you mix this with keeping an eye on your gear costs and maybe topping up with some extra ARC Raiders Coins for sale when you really want to push, you end up spending more time improving your runs and less time staring at a death screen.
