This week, the items in Arc Raiders' Ermal event are very attractive, allowing you to exchange certain low-tier ARC parts for limited-edition skins and high-value Blueprints.
So, how can you quickly find and acquire those ARC parts? Some players have tested various maps and selected some of the best maps for farming parts, sharing their findings on the game forums.
Next, I will provide a detailed explanation, including what you need to farm, where is the best place to farm, and some important considerations.
Parts List
First, you need to know which Arc Raiders parts you should be farming. Here are the parts you need to farm this week, and Arc enemies that drop them:
- Wasp Driver - Drops from Wasp
- Fireball Burner - Drops from Fireball
- Shredder Gyro - Drops from Shredder
- Spotter Relay - Drops from Spotter
- Snitch Scanner - Drops from Snitch
- Tick Pod - Drops from Tick
- Comet Igniter - Drops from Comet
- Pop Trigger - Drops from Pop
- Firefly Burner - Drops from Firefly
- Surveyor Vault - Drops from Surveyor
The most unique item is Shredder Gyro. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that you can stack up to 6,000 Shredder Gyro in each inventory slot.
Therefore, if you're short on inventory space, you can prioritize collecting Shredder Gyro.
Suitable Maps for Farming
After figuring out which parts you want to farm, the next question is: where is the fastest place to farm them? Here, I highly recommend two maps: Stella Montis and Buried City.
Currently, Stella Montis is widely considered the most convenient and efficient map for farming low-tier ARC parts in Arc Raiders - its compact area and high enemy spawn rate.
However, because there are generally many players on Stella Montis, farming parts here carries the risk of being ambushed by other players. Therefore, Buried City is also a good option.
Stella Montis
Currently, Stella Montis is widely considered the most convenient and efficient map for farming low-tier ARC parts in Arc Raiders.
This map's advantage stems from its compact map design, making it very convenient for players to move between areas, unlike other maps that require long-distance travel, thus saving players time.
Furthermore, the spawn rate of ARC enemies on this map is also very high. Culture Archives is a popular area for farming Shredder Gyro. The corridors near Atrium, Business Center, Medica, and Assembly are also good for farming Shredder Gyro.
Buried City
If you find Stella Montis too complex, you can also try Buried City. This map has a smoother pace and fewer players, but the main drawback is a slightly lower drop rate.
Hospital spawns a large number of Ticks, Fireballs, and Pops. They are not only plentiful but also respawn very quickly, making them ideal for farming parts.
Morirano Park is the respawn point for Comets, where you can repeatedly kill them.
In terms of stability and solo play difficulty, Buried City is a step below Stella Montis, making it more suitable for Arc Raiders players who want to collect parts safely and slowly.
Riven Tides
If you want to avoid the complex terrain of Stella Montis but still want efficient farming, then go for Riven Tides.
The composition of ARC enemies on this new map is extremely unique: there are far more aerial ARC enemies than on typical maps, with Wasps and Fireflies flying everywhere, often appearing in groups of five, making your farming efficiency quite high.
However, the biggest problem is that there are too many large Arc enemies and too many players. You have to be careful not only of encountering large Ark enemies, but also of surprise attacks by other players.
If you're willing to risk farming parts, make sure you bring sufficiently powerful Arc Raiders Items and familiarize yourself with the extraction points beforehand, being prepared to evacuate at any time during farming.
Important Notes
During your farming, you also need to avoid the following two things, as they will slow down your farming speed.
Avoid Electromagnetic Storms
If you see recommendations in the community to farm parts during Electromagnetic Storms, ignore that advice.
While Electromagnetic Storms do seem to increase the number of special parts, farming parts on these maps is significantly more time-consuming.
For example, Electromagnetic Storms drastically increase the number of ARC debris on the ground, but this debris is extremely scattered. The part yield per run is less than half that of normal maps.
Therefore, don't waste time on maps under Electromagnetic Storm conditions. Any regular farming method on normal maps is much faster.
Abandon Weapon Case
In the past Arc Raiders, players could directly search for Weapon Cases and exchange the weapons there for parts.
Unfortunately, Weapon Case drop mechanism has changed. The equipment dropped there is generally too powerful to exchange for the parts you need - since you mostly need low-tier parts.
Therefore, instead of focusing on weapon crates, it's better to diligently farm for specific parts.
This concludes my tutorial on farming low-tier parts in Arc Raiders, primarily targeting the parts needed for Ermal's items. In short, I hope this tutorial helps you quickly redeem all the items you want.
