Leaper in ARC Raiders
Leapers hunt in bounding arcs, crossing whole streets in a single jump and slamming down with a shockwave that staggers everyone nearby. They chain-pounce relentlessly and ambush from rooftops — a Leaper that lands on your squad turns formation into chaos.
Leaper weak points
Leg pistons and faceplate, best hit during the recovery crouch right after a jump lands.
How to kill the Leaper
Use doorways and tight interiors to deny the pounce, then hit the legs during its landing recovery. Sidestep at the peak of its jump — never backpedal. Spread out so the shockwave cannot stagger the whole squad.
