How to Craft Weapons in ARC Raiders

In ARC Raiders, you have two main options for obtaining weapons: crafting them yourself or purchasing them from traders. This guide will walk you through the weapon crafting process, including how to set up your workshop, gather the necessary parts, and create your own arsenal. Whether you’re looking to build basic weapons or prefer to buy upgraded gear, we’ll cover everything you need to know.

Setting Up Your Workshop

To begin crafting weapons in ARC Raiders, you’ll need to access your workshop. Start by locating the workshop option at the top of your interface. Once you’ve found it, you may need to add a gunsmith to your workshop setup. This gunsmith will enable you to craft various weapons including Fair Rows, Hairpins, and Cattles.

Understanding Weapon Crafting Materials

When you enter your workshop and view the available weapons to craft, you’ll notice that each weapon requires specific materials to create. The primary material types you’ll need are metal parts and rubber parts. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about the exact materials needed—the game makes it easy to find this information.

How to Check Material Sources

If you’re uncertain about where to find specific parts, simply hover over the material name in your workshop menu. The game will display where you can find that part, showing categories such as Mechanical, Industrial, or Electrical. This is incredibly helpful for planning your scavenging runs.

Locating Materials on the Map

Once you know what type of material you need (Mechanical, Industrial, or Electrical), you can open your game map and look for the corresponding location icons. For example, if you need Mechanical parts, you can identify areas like the Water Treatment Control on your map, which will have a Mechanical icon indicator. These map icons correspond directly to the material types you need, making it straightforward to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Alternative: Purchasing Weapons from Traders

If you have accumulated significant currency and prefer not to craft, you can take a different approach. Look for the Trade option at the top of your interface and locate a Gun Shop. In the Gun Shop, you can browse and purchase better weapons directly without needing to gather crafting materials. This is an excellent option if you’d rather spend money than time scavenging for parts.

Summary

Crafting weapons in ARC Raiders is a straightforward process once you understand the basics. Set up your gunsmith workshop, identify the materials needed for your desired weapon, use the hover feature to determine material sources, locate those sources on your map, and gather the necessary parts. Alternatively, if you prefer a quicker route and have the funds available, simply visit a Gun Shop trader to purchase pre-made weapons. Both methods are viable depending on your playstyle and resources.
