Crafting Recipes Guide for Arc Raiders

An Arc Raiders recipe names where it is crafted and its materials, a station recipe the level it needs, and some recipes a blueprint learned first.

How a Recipe Reads

Each recipe on file names where it is crafted and the materials it takes, a station recipe also names the station level it needs, and many give a craft time. A recipe above a station's current level waits until you upgrade that station, and some also need a blueprint learned first: the Anvil needs the Anvil Blueprint, while the Rattler needs none. A craftable item's page lists its materials, and the crafting page lists every station's recipes.

Stations and What They Craft

The free Workbench crafts every ammo type, the Energy Clip among them, and the wiki's Workshop page says it also crafts the starter weapons and the Light Shield. The Gunsmith crafts weapons and their mods. The Gear Bench crafts the Heavy Shield at level 2 and the augments, from the Mk. 1 augments at level 1 to the Mk. 3 augments at level 3. The Medical Lab crafts the Sterilized Bandage, the Surge Shield Recharger and the Defibrillator at level 2, and the Vita Shot and the Vita Spray at level 3. The Explosives Station crafts grenades and mines, the Utility Station gear such as the Zipline, and the Refiner turns materials into components such as Light Gun Parts. The Research Station crafts blueprints, each for Research Points and items.

Recipes From the Inventory

The Bandage, the Herbal Bandage, the Shield Recharger and the grenade traps can be crafted from the inventory, with no station.

Weapon Recipes and Their Tiers

A weapon's tiers II to IV are each crafted from the tier below plus materials: the Rattler II takes a Rattler I, and the Anvil II an Anvil I. The Canto and the Dolabra are crafted at the Gunsmith level 3, each once its blueprint is learned.

How High the Stations Go

No recipe on file needs a station above level 3. The Gunsmith and the Research Station go on to level 4, and with both at level 4 you can amplify weapons.

Before You Craft to Recycle

Before you craft something only to break it down, compare the recipe's materials with what the item recycles into on the recycling page.
