How to Get Gadgets in Arc Raiders
Now that you know which utilities to choose, there are a few ways to obtain them in Arc Raiders. Here are all the possible ways you can obtain Arc Raiders gadgets:
1. Cache, Boxes, and Locked Rooms
Just like any other materials, players can find random gadgets in boxes, caches, or other lootable areas in Arc Raiders. Mostly, the normal caches contain common-uncommon rarity utility items. To get higher-rarity gadgets, players must unlock the secret rooms or visit high-risk zones.
2. Crafting Bench and Blueprints
Just like how you craft shields in Arc Raiders, the utility bench lets players craft new gadgets. To craft items, players need the required materials. So, make sure you gather the materials on your next raid and utilize your Arc Raiders skills to extract safely.
Moreover, gadget blueprints are found across chests, lockers, and lootable areas in Arc Raiders. Some of these are Arc Raiders blueprints of epic or better rarity. Grab them and check what level of crafting bench they require. When you have that level of crafting bench, the blueprint will permanently unlock that gadget in the utility crafting station.
3. Purchase from Traders
In case you are not getting the gadgets or good materials in the Arc Raiders caches, don’t worry, money will find you a way. Yes, you can spend Raider Coins or Creds at the trader to get different gadgets. However, you will not find all utilities at the Arc Raiders trader shops.
How to Use Gadgets in Arc Raiders
To use gadgets or utilities, players must drag them into the loadout before going on a raid to the topside. After crafting the gadgets, collecting them from a looting cache or ARCs, or purchasing them from traders, you can keep them in your loadout. To use the gadgets, open your bag by pressing the inventory button and equip them. Now hold the required button to use it in Arc Raiders.
For example, if it is a Zipline, you will see the traveling distance when you hold it in your hand. Click the fire button to install the Zipline at the desired spot, and then use it by pressing the interact button.
You can also skip opening the bag every time. To do that, drag the gadgets to your quick-use slot. During a raid, hold the ‘Q’ button and select the utility item, similar to using grenades in Arc Raiders. After that, follow the required method to use the gadget.
That ends the list of all Arc Raiders gadgets and utility items. So, which utilities are you bringing in your Arc Raiders weapons loadout? Let us know in the comments.
