Arc Raiders Materials

What Types of ARC Raiders Materials Can You Buy?

You can buy both common crafting materials and harder-to-obtain components in ARC Raiders. More basic resources include Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, Rubber Parts, Fabric, Chemicals, ARC Alloy, Batteries, and Wires, while refined materials include Electrical Components, Mechanical Components, Crude Explosives, and Durable Cloth.

Players looking for rarer resources can also find materials such as Advanced Electrical Components, Advanced Mechanical Components, ARC Powercells, ARC Circuitry, ARC Motion Cores, and different gun parts, depending on what sellers currently have available. Some of these materials become particularly important for higher-level crafting and workshop upgrades.

Rarity does not always mean you'll need more of a material. Common resources such as Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, and Rubber Parts are often required in much larger quantities, while advanced components may be needed in smaller amounts for specific crafts or upgrades. For that reason, the material worth buying depends on what you're currently trying to craft, upgrade, or stockpile.

Why Buy ARC Raiders Materials?

Gathering resources is a major part of ARC Raiders, but obtaining a specific material can require multiple raids without guaranteeing you'll extract with what you need. Buying materials gives you a more direct option when you're missing a particular resource for crafting or progression.

This can be particularly useful when you already have most of the resources required for a recipe or upgrade and don't want to spend additional raids searching for the remaining components. Marketplace offers also allow you to compare quantities, prices, and sellers and choose an option based on exactly what you're currently missing.
