The robot has a small, red glowing eye in the middle. However, this is not a weak spot. Instead, you should aim for its legs. While doing so, it is advisable to use weapons that are good at shooting off ARC armor platings since Bison's legs are well-guarded. A well-upgraded Ferro or Vulcano is a good option to start with.

After taking the armor off its legs, continue shooting to make the Bison take heavy damage. Destruction of the legs makes it hard for the Bison in ARC Raiders to move. However, the robot will still try to move around using its core spherical structure. You will need to shoot this down to finally destroy this formidable ARC.

The ARC Bison can close the distance between you and itself by jumping in and engaging in a battle. The robot also likes to fight in close quarters with the help of its AoE attacks that unleash lethal shockwaves. It is therefore advisable to keep calm and maintain a distance.
