Augments are the centrepiece of your ARC Raiders loadouts, and getting better ones is crucial once you're past the beginner stage.
Whether you're trying to enhance your fighting potential or get more loot, having better augments is pretty much necessary. There is more than one way to obtain an augment, and things get tougher if you're trying to secure the very best ones. This quick guide will highlight the best-known methods when it comes to grabbing the top-tier augments.
Best ways to get top-tier augments in ARC Raiders
Like almost everything in ARC Raiders, you can get top-tier augments from looting. However, these augments aren't going to spawn just about anywhere. So far, my best returns have come from areas that can only be opened with keys.
These locked areas can be found on all four maps. Typically, the keys are rare spawns themselves, so you might be unable to find them on every run. They're one-time use only, and you have to be careful when looting the areas. So far, some of the best augments I have found have been from the locked areas on Spaceport and Blue Gate.
If you don't want to rely on luck, however, there are a couple of different ways.
- You can always spend in-game resources to get better augments from Lance. While better augments will cost more resources, you get plenty of credits from your raids. Hence, you should be able to get a few quite easily once you're into the mid-game phase.
- Another helpful option is to create your own augments from the Gear Bench. To unlock the best tiers, you'll first need to upgrade your Gear Bench, which requires quite a hefty amount of resources. If you're playing solo and going purely for loot, you'll want to get the Mk. 3 crafted for your runs.
Additionally, if you don't mind engaging in PvP, looting other raiders could also help you get better augments for your runs. You won't be guaranteed a high-tier every time you loot a raider, but there's always a chance to find a special augment, along with other valuable loot.
