ARC Raiders has a variety of enemies, each one leaving behind a unique component that can either be used as crafting materials or as a throwable. Fireballs are one of the enemies players will find in the depths of research stations and abandoned buildings that attack players with a flamethrower. Players will need to destroy them to get Fireball Burners, which can be used to either damage other ARC machines (for What Goes Around Quest) or be used for crafting upgrades.
ARC Raiders: Where to Find Toasters
Toasters are recyclable items in ARC Raiders that are required to upgrade your Refiner in the Workshop, here are all the locations you can find them.
How to Get Fireball Burners in ARC Raiders (Best Locations)
To get Fireball Burners, players will need to destroy the Fireball ARC Machines that roll around in abandoned research facilities. While they can be found on all the maps in ARC Raiders, some of the best locations are found within Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City (exact locations marked on images).
Before venturing out to one of these locations, make sure you have a weapon that's compatible with heavy ammo like a Ferro or Anvil, since they offer high ARC armor penetration. After traveling to one of the marked locations, keep exploring the area until you see a small ARC machine with blue circular LEDs on its side. You can start shooting the ball while keeping your distance to eventually destroy it.
If you're caught on fire, keep rolling away from the Fireball to gain distance and extinguish the fire more quickly.
However, the best way to defeat Fireballs is to let it approach you and open its hatch to arm the flamethrowers. Keep your weapon aimed at it, and as soon as it opens the hatch, shoot inside the hatch to take it out instantly. Once a Fireball is destroyed, you can loot its body to get a Fireball Burner in ARC Raiders.
How to Complete What Goes Around Quest in ARC Raiders
To complete the What Goes Around quest in ARC Raiders, you'll need to have multiple Fireball Burners with you as a precaution. Make sure to equip the Fireball burner in one of the quick-use slots so you can chuck it easily.
Now, you'll need to find an ARC Machine to throw the Fireball Burner at. The way to complete the "What Goes Around" quest is to find the Ticks (little spider-like ARC machines), Pops, or another Fireball. Once you've found them, throw the Fireball Burner to engulf them in flames. Once they've been destroyed, the quest will be marked as completed.
