How to Get Power Rods in ARC Raiders

Power Rods are essential components in ARC Raiders that you’ll need for various crafting and upgrades. This guide will walk you through both methods of obtaining Power Rods—whether you prefer crafting them at your workshop or hunting them down while scavenging in Exodus areas.

Crafting Power Rods at Your Workshop

The most reliable way to obtain Power Rods is by crafting them at your home workshop. To do this, you’ll need to first unlock the Power Rod blueprint through scavenging.

Once you have the blueprint, crafting requires the following materials:

Level 3 Refiner

Arc Circuitry

Advanced Electrical Components

The good news is that both Arc Circuitry and Advanced Electrical Components can be crafted in your workshop as well, making the entire process self-sufficient once you have the necessary blueprints and facilities.

Finding Power Rods Through Scavenging

If you don’t yet have the Power Rod blueprint or prefer to search for them in the field, you can find Power Rods by scavenging in Exodus areas. However, this method comes with a significant caveat—Power Rods are very rare drops.

The best locations to scavenge for Power Rods include:

The Assembly in Stelomontus

The Business Centre in Stelomontus

Other similar Exodus locations

While you may occasionally find Power Rods while scavenging these areas, the drop rate is low enough that crafting them at your workshop is generally your best strategy once you’ve obtained the blueprint.

Summary

Power Rods in ARC Raiders are best obtained through crafting at your workshop once you’ve unlocked the blueprint. You’ll need a Level 3 Refiner along with Arc Circuitry and Advanced Electrical Components. While you can find Power Rods by scavenging in Exodus areas like the Assembly and Business Centre in Stelomontus, they’re quite rare, so crafting is your most reliable path to consistently obtaining them.
