How to Get Stiletto in Arc Raiders

Arc Raiders’ battle rifle collection is getting expanded in the Frozen Trail update with the addition of Stiletto. Like Bantam, which is dubbed the replacement for Anvil, the new Stiletto is claimed to be an alternative to the popular Renegade. If you are waiting to get your hands on the new battle rifle, here is how to get Stiletto in Arc Raiders.

How to Find Stiletto in Arc Raiders

Just like the new Bantam revolver, the Stiletto battle rifle is also an uncommon weapon in Arc Raiders. The Stiletto was introduced as a budget alternative to the fan-favorite Renegade rifle. As an uncommon weapon, the Stiletto is easy to find in containers, lockers, weapon cases, raider caches, etc.

However, if you have no luck finding the Stiletto, there is an easy way to get the new battle rifle in the game. All you have to do is visit the Nomadic Envoy trader, Ermal, in Arc Raiders, and exchange 8x Candleberries, 2x Cable Stripper, and 2x Mini Pump for the fully upgraded Stiletto IV. In this way, you can unlock two Stiletto IVs and add them to your weapon collection.

Another easy way to get the Stiletto is to reach tier 8 of the new Arc Raiders Frozen Trail Reward Pass and unlock the base Stiletto I for free. However, if you are still hellbent on getting the Stiletto’s blueprint, here are the best regions we recommend looting in each map:

Dam Battlegrounds

• Hydroponic Dome Complex
• Control Tower

Buried City

• Hospital
• Space Travel
• Town Hall

Spaceport

• Arrival Building
• Departure Building

Blue Gate

• Gate Approach
• Pilgrim’s Peak

Stella Montis

• Medical Research
• Cultural Archives

Riven Tides

• Hotel Panorama Azzurro
• Port Authority Building
• Azzurro Beach

Pendola Pass

• Almatera Station
• Cielo Sereno Observatory
• Commissionary Supermarket

Unlike the other maps, Pendola Pass doesn’t have a fixed/permanent loot zone. Starting with the Frozen Trail update, the new Pendola Pass map in Arc Raiders has dynamic loot zones, so the best loot spots change every match. So, constantly change your raid route, or check out the areas we recommended above to try your luck.

Lastly, you can also double the chances of getting a Stiletto by looting weapon cases, containers, raider caches, and more during map conditions like Night Raid, Hurricane, Redirection, and more, which are currently available in the game

Is the New Stiletto Meta in Arc Raiders?

In case you didn’t know, Stiletto is a semi-automatic rifle in Arc Raiders. The new battle rifle boasts high accuracy and low initial recoil. However, the bullets spread wide when you rapidly fire the whole mag at once. Therefore, keep in mind not to spam when you have a Stiletto in hand; otherwise, you will miss all your shots.

Unlike the Bantam in Arc Raiders, the Stiletto is only good against hostile raiders. Since this weapon uses light ammo, it has weaker ARC armor penetration, and makes it a tough fight against all ARC enemies in ARC raiders. But you can still use a Stiletto against ARC threats if you have no other option left.

Here is a quick overview of the Stiletto weapon’s stats in Arc Raiders:

One major advantage the Stiletto has over the Renegade is the reload time and style. Instead of slowly loading the bullets, the Stiletto can reload quickly by switching mags. At the end of the day, the Stiletto lacks what’s needed to beat the Renegade in its own game.

Nevertheless, the Stiletto can be considered a successor to the Renegade. It’s a budget alternative to the Renegade and a great pick for a majority of raiders. The completely upgraded version of Stiletto has a 31.6% reduced reload time and a 25.7% increased fire rate, which makes it one of the best weapons in Arc Raiders.
