Arc Circuitry is a progression choke point in ARC Raiders. You need it for Refiner Level 3, Medium Shields, repairs, and key crafting paths. The fastest route is simple: farm active ARC Probes, abuse the Prospecting Probes event, stash the circuitry, then extract before the raid gets messy.

↖ Best Way to Get Arc Circuitry in ARC Raiders
The best Arc Circuitry farm is active ARC Probes.
These white, rocket-like probes crash into the map during raids. They make a loud descent sound, then emit a sharp beeping noise after landing. Follow the sound, check the smoke, open every panel.
↖ Arc Circuitry Farming Methods Ranked
| Rank | Method | Reliability | Risk | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Active ARC Probes | Very High | Medium | Main farming method |
| 2 | Prospecting Probes event | Very High | Medium-High | Fast bulk farming |
| 3 | Recycle Medium Shields | Medium | Low | Extra circuitry from spare gear |
| 4 | Craft at Refiner Level 3 | High | Low | Late-game backup |
| 5 | ARC enemy drops | Low-Medium | High | Opportunistic loot |
| 6 | Broken ARC Probes | Low-Medium | Low-Medium | Check only if nearby |
Field rule: If you are still upgrading your Refiner, do not waste time hunting random enemies. Probes are the farm.

↖ How to Farm ARC Probes for Arc Circuitry
ARC Probes are easy to miss if you play on autopilot. They are not just loot containers. They are raid objectives.
↖ What to Look and Listen For
- Rocket descent sound when the probe enters the map.
- High-pitched beeping after it lands.
- Smoke plume from the crash site.
- White, capsule-like body.
- Multiple side panels or hatches.
Many probe drops happen around the 25-minute raid timer, often roughly 5 minutes after raid start. If you join late, listen instead of staring at the sky. A probe may already be down.
↖ How to Loot ARC Probes Properly
Do this every time:
1. Approach from cover.
2. Listen for Raiders and ARC machines.
3. Open every hatch.
4. Check all compartments.
5. Put Arc Circuitry in your safe pocket if possible.
6. Leave fast.
Do not open one panel and run. A single probe can have multiple compartments, and missing one is free loot left on the ground.
↖ Active ARC Probes vs Broken ARC Probes
Not all probes are worth chasing.
| Probe Type | Clue | Arc Circuitry Chance | What to Do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active ARC Probe | Clean body, clear beeping, fresh crash | Very High | Prioritize |
| Broken ARC Probe | Damaged body, glitchy sound, black smoke | Lower | Loot only if safe |
| Looted Probe | Open panels, empty compartments | None/Low | Leave |
Active probes are the money. Broken probes can drop Arc Circuitry, but they are inconsistent. If you are exposed, skip them.
↖ Prospecting Probes Event: Fastest Arc Circuitry Farm
If Prospecting Probes is active, switch your whole raid plan.
This event increases probe landings. More probes means more Arc Circuitry chances, faster rotations, and less dead time.
↖ Best Event Strategy
| Step | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check for Prospecting Probes | Confirms high-value raid |
| 2 | Move to open terrain | Easier to spot landings |
| 3 | Watch the sky and smoke | Faster probe tracking |
| 4 | Follow beeping | Leads to the crash site |
| 5 | Loot all hatches | Maximizes yield |
| 6 | Extract after a good haul | Protects progression |
If you pull 2–3 Arc Circuitry, start thinking extraction. Greed kills more farming runs than bad aim.
↖ Best Locations to Find ARC Probes
ARC Probes can appear on multiple maps, but open areas are best. You need sightlines and clean audio.
↖ Recommended Probe Farming Areas
| Area Type | Why It Works | How to Play It |
|---|---|---|
| Open desert zones | Easy smoke visibility | Scan horizon often |
| High ground | Better sound and sightlines | Pause, listen, rotate |
| Spaceport | Wide map layout | Strong probe farming map |
| Rocket Assembly area | Clear landmark, open angles | Use as a search anchor |
| Dense interiors | Poor visibility | Avoid unless extracting |
Spaceport is one of the better maps for Arc Circuitry farming because probes are easier to see and hear. Around Rocket Assembly, you can often scan wide angles without running blind through clutter.
↖ Crafting Arc Circuitry at Refiner Level 3
You can craft Arc Circuitry at the Refiner, but only after reaching Refiner Level 3.
That matters because the Level 3 upgrade itself usually needs around 10 Arc Circuitry. So crafting is not your early solution. It is your post-upgrade safety net.
| Crafting Option | Requirement | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Craft Arc Circuitry | Refiner Level 3 | Reliable late-game source |
| Material cost | About 6 ARC Alloy each | Good if alloy is stocked |
| Early game | Locked behind upgrade | Farm probes instead |
| After Level 3 | Always useful | Fills shortages fast |
Best progression path:
1. Farm active ARC Probes.
2. Save 10 Arc Circuitry for Refiner Level 3.
3. Upgrade the Refiner.
4. Use ARC Alloy crafting to cover future shortages.
↖ Recycling Medium Shields for Arc Circuitry
Recycling Medium Shields can return Arc Circuitry. This is useful when you have damaged or low-quality shields you will not repair.
| Item | Use Case | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Medium Shield | Repair cost is too high | Recycle for parts |
| Low-quality Medium Shield | You have better shields | Convert to materials |
| Spare Medium Shield | Stash is crowded | Recover Arc Circuitry chance |
Do not recycle your only usable shield. Surviving raids is still the best farming method.
↖ ARC Enemy Drops: Only Treat Them as Bonus Loot
ARC enemies can drop parts that break down into useful materials, but this is not an efficient Arc Circuitry farm.
Heavy ARC units cost ammo, time, armor plates, and sometimes your entire kit. If they are already dead, loot them. If you are carrying Arc Circuitry, avoid unnecessary fights.
↖ When Fighting ARC Enemies Makes Sense
- The enemy is isolated.
- You need to clear the path anyway.
- You have spare ammo and meds.
- You are not carrying valuable loot yet.
- Extraction is still nearby.
If you already have Arc Circuitry in your bag, your job is extraction, not hero work.
↖ Best Arc Circuitry Farming Route
Use this loop when farming specifically for Arc Circuitry:
| Phase | Action |
|---|---|
| Spawn | Check for Prospecting Probes |
| First rotation | Move to open terrain or high ground |
| Tracking | Listen for descent sounds and beeping |
| Looting | Open every probe compartment |
| Securing | Safe pocket Arc Circuitry first |
| Exit call | Extract after 2–3 pieces or when contested |
This route works because it cuts out bad habits: random looting, pointless fights, and over-staying after a good pull.
↖ Common Arc Circuitry Farming Mistakes
Avoid these if you want consistent results.
| Mistake | Why It Hurts | Correct Play |
|---|---|---|
| Opening one hatch only | Misses extra loot | Check every panel |
| Ignoring audio | Walks past probes | Track beeping |
| Farming broken probes first | Lower drop chance | Prioritize active probes |
| Fighting while loaded | High death risk | Extract instead |
| Waiting to craft early | Refiner Level 3 gate | Farm probes first |
| Staying after a good haul | Turns profit into loss | Leave with the material |
The cleanest runs are boring: find probe, loot probe, extract. That is how upgrades get finished.
↖ FAQ
↖ What is the best way to get Arc Circuitry in ARC Raiders?
The best method is looting active ARC Probes. They have the most reliable Arc Circuitry drops and can contain multiple loot compartments.
↖ Where can I find ARC Probes?
ARC Probes can land on multiple maps. Open areas are best. Spaceport and wide zones near Rocket Assembly are strong because you can spot smoke and hear beeping clearly.
↖ When do ARC Probes appear?
Many probes appear around the 25-minute raid timer, often about 5 minutes after the raid starts. If you load in late, track them by sound instead.
↖ Can I craft Arc Circuitry?
Yes. You can craft Arc Circuitry at Refiner Level 3, usually for about 6 ARC Alloy each. Before that, farm probes because the upgrade itself needs Arc Circuitry.
↖ Are broken ARC Probes worth looting?
Only if they are nearby and safe. Broken probes can drop Arc Circuitry, but active probes are far more reliable.
↖ Summary
The best way to farm Arc Circuitry in ARC Raiders is to prioritize active ARC Probes. Listen for the descent sound, follow the beeping, open every hatch, and extract once you have value.
Use Prospecting Probes events for fast bulk farming. Save around 10 Arc Circuitry for Refiner Level 3, then use crafting as a backup once unlocked. Recycle spare Medium Shields when useful, and treat ARC enemy drops as bonus loot only.
Simple rule: probe first, safe pocket second, extraction third.
