Arc Raiders Crafting 2.0: Master the New "Acquire Resources" System

Why the "Acquire Resources" System Changes Everything

Efficiency separates pros from grinders. Before April 8, 2026, you memorized which ARC machines dropped what parts—or spent half your raid toggling wikis. Now? The crafting menu scouts for you.

Hover over a missing ingredient at the Speranza Workbench and hit F (PC) / Square (Console). The pop-up gives you:

• Direct Source: The exact machine or crate type dropping the material.
• Geographic Hotspot: The map region with the densest spawn rate.
• Speranza Availability: Whether local merchants stock it for Merits.

Say goodbye to wasted runs and hello to pinpoint farming.

Specific Farming: Where to Go

The Acquire Resources system isn’t static—it adapts to current Map Conditions. Here’s how to play it smart:

1. Buried City – Electronics & Energy Parts

Looking for high-end electronics like Shredder Gyros? The Central Plaza is your hotspot.

Pro Tip: Activate the "Track Progress" option to highlight specific blue-lidded crates on your HUD—turns scavenging into a guided mission.

2. Stella Montis – Mechanical & Armor Plating

Need heavy-duty parts like Tungsten Plates or Actuators? Stella Montis’ vertical zones—Observation Deck and Tram Station—are your goldmine.

Pro Tip: Check the "Merchant" tab first. Sometimes buying for Merits in Speranza is faster than risking an extraction.

Advanced Feature: The Recycling Loop

The hidden gem in 1.23.0? Recycling Intel. Short on a rare part? The tool now shows if you can break down common items to create it.

Example: Need a Magnetic Accelerator for your Dolabra? The tool highlights that two Damaged Coils recycle into one Accelerator at the Workbench.

Farming Tip: Junk runs in low-risk zones like Exodus Outskirts are now viable for high-tier crafting.

Troubleshooting: "Location Unknown"

Sometimes the tool says “Unknown”—don’t panic. Usually it’s one of two reasons:

1. Locked Map Conditions: Drops only during events like Hurricane or Close Scrutiny.
2. Future Content: Material tied to upcoming Riven Tides coastal map (late April 2026).

Final Verdict: Is Your HUD Ready?

1.23.0 makes Arc Raiders crafting smarter and faster. Pin targets to your HUD, farm geo-efficiently, recycle when needed, and finally stop guessing.

Pro Tip: Check your Gunsmith Rank before starting a farm. Nothing kills the vibe like a full bag of Vaporizer Regulators and realizing you’re still Rank II.

Don’t waste another raid—use the Acquire Resources system today and craft like a veteran Raider. Maximize your DPS and extraction efficiency with every blueprint in hand.
