ARC Raiders added Frequency Modulation Boxes with patch 1.2.0 back in November. Like many other resources, they were initially overlooked by many players until they began showing up in mission and project requirements. That was when players started breaching every locked room and searching every container to find them.
But what's the best farming location for ARC Raiders' Frequency Modulation Boxes? If you're asking the same thing, you're on the right page. This guide walks you through the best farming route for this item and also points out a few alternative spots in case the RNG gods are not on your side.

Frequency Modulation Box Spawn and Drop Info
If you check the item's description, you'll see that it's a frequent drop in Exodus areas. There aren't many Exodus spots on the current ARC Raiders maps, which means the drop rate for Frequency Modulation Boxes is fairly low.
Best Farming Route for Frequency Modulation Box
For the most lucrative raid, start your match on ARC Raiders' Stella Montis map. Begin looting for Frequency Modulation Boxes in the Assembly Workshops area, then work your way toward the Medical Research section. These two locations have proven to offer the highest drop rate for this rare item.
Can You Craft or Purchase Frequency Modulation Boxes?
As of this writing, none of ARC Raiders' Workshop stations have a recipe for crafting Frequency Modulation Boxes. On top of that, none of the traders offer the item, which makes it one of the more challenging resources to stockpile.
Players who have no luck finding Frequency Modulation Boxes topside can try trading instead. Several Reddit threads let fans post what they need and offer something valuable in return, such as ARC Raiders' Assorted Seeds.
Other Good Locations for Frequency Modulation Box Farming
The Business Center in Stella Montis is also worth checking for Frequency Modulation Boxes. Outside this map, another solid farming location is the Rocket Assembly area in the Spaceport area. While it does not offer the same drop rate as Stella Montis' Assembly area, it is still a reliable Exodus spot.
What to Do with Frequency Modulation Boxes
You can sell a Frequency Modulation Box for 3,000 ARC Raiders Coins or recycle it for valuable resources like Advanced Electrical Components. However, neither option is recommended. The best move is to keep your Modulation Boxes in your inventory in case you need them for future projects.
Players currently report that the ARC Raiders' Cold Snap update has changed the requirements for the Expedition Project, adding Frequency Modulation Boxes to the list. If that is true, it likely means more projects or missions will require this rare item, which is why smart raiders should avoid selling, salvaging, or recycling it.
