Ever dumped valuable low-tier ARC junk randomly and lost thousands of in-game credits? Most new raiders mix up sell value and crafting usage for basic drone components and overlook properly managing valuable ARC Raiders Materials. This full guide sorts all core low-tier ARC parts with fixed market prices, spawn spots and two key uses: direct vendor sell or workshop crafting. It helps every player pick optimal looting targets to maximize raid profit without wasting precious backpack space.

1. 640-Credit Common Low-Tier Parts: Beginner's Stable Quick Income Source

Want easy low-risk loot for your first Speranza upgrade funds? Wasp Driver, Tick Pod and Fireball Burner all lock at a fixed 640 sell value per piece, max stack limit of 3 inside inventory. These parts drop from low-level ARC drones: Wasps, Ticks and Fireball units scattered across Blue Gate residential and Dam outskirts, plus random ARC Courier loot crates across all starter maps. These basic components also serve as core crafting materials for entry-level weapon mods at Gunsmith workbench Level 1.

Best For: Total new players, casual solo raiders doing short low-danger extraction runs

Core Value: Fast, consistent early-game credit gain; affordable crafting material to build starter attachments without expensive rare drops

2. 1000-Credit Uncommon Low-Tier Parts: Mid-Run High-Value Loot Picks

Confused which mid-low parts deserve top backpack priority? Hornet Driver, Snitch Scanner and Spotter Relay carry 1000 credits each, the highest price among all low-tier ARC parts with identical 3-stack cap. They exclusively drop from Hornet drones, Snitch scouts and Spotter sentinel machines; industrial warehouses and Spaceport entry zones spawn these ARC units most frequently. Ermal's in-game shop also accepts these parts to exchange for backpack skins and starter consumable bundles.

Best For: Mid-game raiders, squad players clearing medium-threat zones, traders saving parts for NPC shop redemption

Core Value: Boost single-run extraction profit drastically; double as trade currency for exclusive limited cosmetic rewards unavailable via regular credits

3. Basic Raw Base Materials: Underlooked Cheap Parts With Hidden Crafting Worth

Do you ignore tiny scrap materials just because their single sell price is low? Standard foundational low-tier scraps include Metal Parts (75 credits), Plastic Parts (60), Rubber Parts (50), Fabric (50) and Chemicals (50) per unit. Individually cheap, but bulk stacks convert into ARC Alloy (200 credits apiece) after refining at Speranza Refiner station, a mandatory material for nearly all early workbench upgrades and gear crafting.

Best For: Resource-focused grinders, players planning full workshop progression, long-term build crafters

Core Value: Cut massive material farming time; avoid overspending credits buying refined alloy from third-party in-game traders

Final Quick Pro Tips for All Raider Types

New Casual Raiders: Prioritize looting 640-value drone parts first, sell all after extraction for immediate credits; skip hoarding raw basic scraps early on so you don’t need to buy ARC Raiders Coins to fund your initial gear upgrades.

Mid-Game Farming Raiders: Collect full stacks of 1000-credit ARC components to trade at Ermal's shop instead of selling for raw cash for rare skins.

Hardcore Craft-Focused Players: Save all bulk basic raw materials for Refiner processing, only sell surplus refined ARC Alloy for steady passive income.
