How to Acquire Weapons in Arc Raiders
Knowing which weapons are at your disposal is just the beginning. You’ll need a strategy to acquire them. Here are the primary methods to obtain weapons in Arc Raiders.
1. Cache, Boxes, and Locked Rooms
Players can discover an assortment of random weapons in boxes, caches, and various lootable areas. Typically, ordinary caches house level 1 and common to uncommon weapons. For rarer finds, unlock secret rooms or venture into higher-risk zones. Additionally, delivering field crates to field depots can reward you with high-rarity weapons and explosives.
2. Crafting Bench and Blueprints
You can find both regular and weapon crafting benches throughout Arc Raiders, enabling you to create new weapons. You’ll need specific materials for crafting. Additionally, blueprints scattered across chests, lockers, and lootable areas can help you unlock high-rarity weapons. Once you gather a blueprint, check which crafting bench it requires to permanently add that weapon to your arsenal.
3. Purchase from Traders
If you’re struggling to find weapons or materials in caches, consider making a purchase. Use Raider Coins at various traders to acquire decent weapons, though these likely won’t stand up against higher-level ARCs.
