How to Get ARC Alloy in ARC Raiders

Looking to farm ARC Alloy efficiently in ARC Raiders? This guide walks you through the best strategy for gathering large quantities of ARC Alloy by engaging ARC robots and recycling their loot. We’ll cover the tactics you need to stay safe while taking on multiple enemies, and which materials you can recycle into ARC Alloy.

The Scanner Strategy: Drawing in Reinforcements

The most efficient way to gather ARC Alloy is to locate scanners (also called snitches) and use them to your advantage. These devices will call in drone strikes and reinforcements when activated, drawing multiple ARC robots to your location.

When you spot a scanner, position yourself near a doorway before engaging it. This gives you a defensive position where you can safely pop in and out while managing incoming enemies.

Combat Tactics for Taking Down ARC Robots

Engaging Multiple Enemies

Once the scanners call in reinforcements, you’ll be facing multiple ARC robots at once. The key is using cover effectively. Run around buildings, rocks, or any solid structures to break line of sight and minimize damage taken. You can manage 3-4 enemies simultaneously using this hit-and-run approach.

Targeting Weak Points

Different ARC robot types have vulnerable points. For most variants, focus your fire on the wings to maximize damage. This tactical approach combined with proper cover usage will keep you safe even when outnumbered.

Looting and Collecting Materials

After defeating the ARC robots, loot all the dropped materials. You’ll collect a variety of ARC-related crafting materials that can be recycled into ARC Alloy. This is where your real profit comes from.

Recycling Materials into ARC Alloy

Not all looted materials convert directly into ARC Alloy, but most ARC-tagged items do. Open your Main Inventory and navigate to Crafting Materials to see what you’ve collected. From here, you can recycle compatible items into ARC Alloy.

Materials That Recycle into ARC Alloy

The following materials can be recycled into ARC Alloy:

ARC Motion Core – Converts to 10 ARC Alloy

ARC Thermalling – Recyclable

ARC Circuitry – Converts to ARC Alloy

ARC Performance Steel – Recyclable

ARC Syntforces – Some variants convert

Hornet Drivers – Converts to ARC Alloy

Materials That Don’t Convert

Some materials won’t recycle into ARC Alloy. For example:

ARC Coolant – Recycles into Coolant only

ARC Performance Steel (in some cases) – Converts to Metal

The general rule: Most items with “ARC” in their name will recycle into ARC Parts or ARC Alloy. Check your inventory to confirm before recycling.

Summary

To efficiently farm ARC Alloy in ARC Raiders, activate scanners to draw in multiple ARC robots, use buildings and rocks for cover while engaging them, and loot all dropped materials. Once collected, recycle any ARC-tagged items in your Main Inventory under Crafting Materials. Focus on materials like ARC Motion Cores, ARC Thermalling, ARC Circuitry, and Hornet Drivers for the best ARC Alloy yield. With this strategy, you’ll build up your ARC Alloy reserves quickly.
