There are a ton of resources in ARC Raiders that you'll get while exploring the desolate cities and abandoned buildings at Topside. However, to get some higher-tier loot like the Advanced ARC Powercells, you'll need to take down bigger ARC machines and salvage their parts.
While this does sound like a lot of work with tons of risk involved, the payoff is huge, as you'll be able to craft Energy Clips, which are the most profitable resource in ARC Raiders that you can sell to make loads of money. So, here's a quick guide on how you can farm the Advanced ARC Powercells in ARC raiders.
How to Increase Stash & Backpack Space in ARC Raiders
Here's how players can eventually increase their stash and inventory space in ARC Raiders if they want to store all the extracted items from matches.
How to Get Advanced ARC Powercell in ARC Raiders (Farm Method)
To get the Advanced ARC Powercells in ARC Raiders, you'll need to take down bigger ARC machines like Bastions, Bombardiers, Rocketeers, and Leapers. Special ARC bosses like the Queen and Matriarch also drop a ton of Advanced ARC Powercells, but facing them is a lot riskier than trying to acquire them from the machines mentioned previously.
The Blue Gate map is one of the best places to farm the Advanced ARC Powercell in ARC Raiders. It has a ton of places where larger ARC machines spawn. You can check out the snippet of our interactive map above to figure out the locations of all the ARC machines that will drop Advanced ARC Powercells.
Make sure to enter the Blue Gate map when the Matriarch or the Harvester (Queen) is active, as it'll increase the spawns of various larger ARC machines. However, it'll also increase the risk factor of the Matriarch or other hostile raiders attacking you.
Once you approach one of the larger ARC machines, i.e., Leapers, Bastions, Bombardiers, or Rocketeers, make sure to position yourself behind proper cover before engaging it. The next step is to identify their weak points, which are mentioned in the all ARC machine weakpoints guide.
While you're fighting larger ARC machines, you're bound to make some noise, which can attract other hostile raiders in the area. So, be aware of your surroundings during the fight.
Once you've defeated one of the larger ARC machines, try throwing a smoke bomb at its destroyed body to conceal yourself while looting. Make sure to loot every appendage of the machine to get the maximum amount of Advanced ARC Powercells and other valuable loot.
Try putting the Advanced ARC Powercells inside your safe pocket to ensure you extract back to Speranza with them, in case another raider ends your run. So, this is how you can farm Advanced ARC Powercells in ARC Raiders and craft a ton of Energy Clips, which you can either sell for 5000 coins per 5x stack or use with the Equalizer, Jupiter, or Aphelion.
