Tank Officer Arker (アーカ戦車長 Āka sensha-chō?) is an Assault Tank Ace found in Valkyria Chronicles 4. He appears in the Squad Story mission "Treading New Ground," in the battle mission Tank Boys.
Gameplay[]
Arker's tank is parked in the top part of what was the starting area of the battle mission in Chapter 2: The Liberation of Reine. This is straight ahead of where the Hafen starts this mission.
Arker is basically just Lucky Seitz with a different cosmetic turret variation and 200 more Body HP. His tank has level 1 armament, but the Body Def of a level 4 Assault Tank and more HP than any standard model.
Getting to him is a pretty simple matter: the main thing to do is get Aulard Abington down to the Hafen through the destroyable wall, in order to remove the anti-tank mines in the road. These mines are devastating, with even a fully-upgraded Hafen easily being taken down to critical health if it hits several at once. Then it is a simple matter of destroying the anti-tank gun in the road ahead, and the path to Arker is clear.
It is a good idea to turn the Hafen around and back up against the glowing level border barrier behind Arker, since there is a lot of firepower pointed at this area (including a hard-to-kill anti-tank gun up on a roof to the right of the enemy base camp on the Command Mode map) and it is a bad idea to expose the Hafen's radiator.

Defeating him grants the upgrade Part "Reinforced Frame" for the Hafen. This 1x4 Part offers almost as big a Body HP boost as the top-level Part "Ragnite Underbody" (350 versus 400), while being half the size (1x4 rather than 2x4).
If extra Body HP is something the player feels they need, this is a very worthy upgrade.
