How to Kill a Orcus |

Use a Jugger-Nog Can and Speed Cola Can before you face Orcus, as these perks can drastically help you throughout the fight. Additionally, you can also use a Deadshot Daiquiri Can, as this will help you clear out the zombies and mercenaries before starting the Orcus fight.

You will notice that Orcus has several exposed areas that glow purple as soon as it spawns. These are the weak spots of Orcus, and shooting them allows you to deal more damage. Focus your shots on these parts to take Orcus down much faster.
Invite other players on the map to join your squad and ask your team for help before starting the mission and facing Orcus, as tackling it alone can be extremely difficult due to the number of mercenaries and zombies you will encounter.

Enemies during this mission are tough since you will be in the Medium Threat Zone. Try to look for a weapon with Epic or Legendary Rarity and use it to Pack-A-Punch Level 2. This will help you clear enemies much faster and make the mission easier.

The Orcus will sometimes perform a slam attack, hitting every player in its path. As soon as the Orcus winds up for this attack, immediately strafe and avoid moving forward or backward to prevent getting caught.

The Orcus has a slow laser attack that takes a lot of time before it actually fires. Take advantage of this by dealing as much damage as you can whenever Orcus performs this attack. You can easily avoid taking damage by simply strafing and moving away from the direction of the laser.
After dealing enough damage to the Orcus, it will start summoning purple orbs that chase you and then explode on contact. You can easily outrun these orbs, and they will explode on their own after a short period.
Upon unlocking the Act 3 Story Mission, you will notice an Exfil Icon with a Yellow Star on your Tac Map. Exfiltrating from this spot will deploy you to Zakhaev's Stronghold, where you will face the Orcus as your final objective. The location of this exfil is fixed but will only appear if you or other members in your squad have this mission unlocked.
Completing the Act 3 Story Mission and defeating the Orcus rewards you with the Bone Collector Operator Skin for Ripper.
