ARC Raiders puts a strong emphasis on loot and crafting, usually leading to players making their own tools that are miles better than what can be found out in the wild.
However, certain items aren't so easy to obtain, nor is their purpose stated to a newcomer. This includes the Gun Parts, ranging from Small to Heavy, which can be quite useful if they weren't so rare and obscure.
So, to save you from a headache, here's how you can obtain Gun Parts and make your own tools of war.
ARC Raiders Gun Parts guide - How to find and craft them
Gun Parts in ARC Raiders come in four distinct categories: Light, Medium, Heavy, and Complex. They are used to make Light, Medium, and Heavy ammo guns, respectively, ranging in rarity based on that power dynamic. The Complex ammo parts are used for advanced weapons, used for special-issue guns like the Equalizer or Jupiter
There are also Simple Gun Parts, a crucial component necessary to craft each of the ammo-specific gun parts above, which in turn are used to produce weapons. Some guns also require Simple Gun Parts alongside the other ones to be made, which significantly increases their value.
As opposed to Light, Medium, Heavy, and Complex Gun Parts, Simple Gun Parts cannot be crafted, and are only obtainable via looting, recycling, or purchasing in Celeste's shop through Assorted Seeds (also found in the world or gained by recycling Great Mullein). These parts can often be looted from various ARCs, and are usually dropped by smaller ones like Hornets and Wasps, which are plentiful on all the game's maps.
To get Light, Medium, Heavy, or Complex Gun Parts, you'll need to do the following:
- Find the necessary blueprint for each of the parts. These are rare drops that you can loot in the world, usually in military-specific areas with high loot quality. Weapon caches and storages tend to contain various gun-related items, parts included, either as crafted or as blueprints. Taking the blueprint to a Refiner 2 will let you craft them by using Simple Gun Parts.
- Search Raider bodies, caches, or high-value loot areas with gun-specific containers. The Control Tower on Dam Battlegrounds is a great starting point, though make sure you bring the necessary keys with you to unlock its best areas.
Of course, you can engage in more PvP combat and try to pry weapon parts off the cold dead hands of other players, should they have had the luck to find them instead of you. This is naturally the riskiest way of obtaining any kind of loot, so tread carefully.
With enough playtime, you will eventually find all the necessary blueprints and be able to craft each Gun Part by using Simple Gun Parts, which, as I've said, can be farmed off smaller ARCs like Hornets and Wasps that spawn just about everywhere.
