All of these are in moderate demand. Exo plate scraps are used in making exogear, though both plates and fully formed exogear are sometimes farmed from an endgame boss instead. 10-15 raw is important for most builds, but the most popular build by a significant margin is [[Rifles]], and most rifles builds don't need more than ten raw skill. This can also sometimes be bypassed by player-teaching. Finally, the raider killer job is a bit labor-intensive, but it's a fair XP source.

If you happen to run into an invading raider boss in the Freedom City area, you can learn from them there as you would anywhere else. They will likely be aggressive; sometimes, [[Police|cops]] will tank them for you!

Raider bosses are mini-bosses of the midgame, and are notable for showing up in random places, dropping exo plate scraps, fulfilling a Job and teaching 10-15 raw in their weapon skill.

All of these are in moderate demand. Exo plate scraps are used in making exogear, though both plates and fully formed exogear are sometimes farmed from an endgame boss instead. 10-15 raw is important for most builds, but the most popular build by a significant margin is Rifles, and most rifles builds don't need more than ten raw skill. This can also be bypassed by player-teaching. Finally, the raider killer job is a bit labor-intensive, but it's a fair XP source.

Finding a Raider Boss

Raider bosses randomly spawn in a zone where they wait, occasionally wandering. Watching a TV tuned to the FNN channel will give reports on what raider bosses are around right now (they'll have names like "One-Eyed Breakfast"), but it won't say their location. There can be a limited amount of raider bosses in the game, and if one is killed, new one will spawn shortly after, usually in a different location - if you are looking for a raider boss to teach you your weapons skill, you will have to kill them until the one with needed skill spawns.

To figure out where a boss is hiding, either get a Medium to seek the name you see on TV, or say -john where One-Eyed Breakfast (or whatever name) to Johnny Fiveaces, in Round Corner, Slagtown. The latter costs a $8000 and usually takes 5-10 minutes. To pin down the exact location of the raider, you can track them or get a clairvoyant to find where they are hiding.

All raider bosses have mediocre dodge and mediocre armor; they wear the equivalent of an unmodified exosuit. They can and will feint dumb opponents, but otherwise have no great tricks up their sleeves.
