The nuclear modification factor RAA at sNN=5.02 TeV is measured at forward rapidity (2.5T in central, semi-central, and peripheral collisions over a wide pT interval, 3T<20 GeV/c, in which muons from beauty-hadron decays are expected to take over from charm as the dominant source at high pT (pT>7 GeV/c). The RAA shows an increase of the suppression of the yields of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays with increasing centrality. A suppression by a factor of about three is observed in the 10% most central collisions. The RAA at sNN=5.02 TeV is similar to that at sNN=2.76 TeV.
