Transfer Depot on Riven Tides is the best Glitched ARC Parts farm right now. Low traffic, steady Wasp spawns, easy extraction. This is the route.

One clean run here: 660+ Merits, multiple Epic and Legendary parts, zero PvP drama.

Why Glitched Wasps Are Your Target

Every Glitched Wasp drops one Glitched ARC Part. Guaranteed. That's the whole strategy.

Leapers might drop parts. Wasps always do. Farm the sure thing.

Do not sell Glitched ARC Parts. They count double: Phantom Targets progress AND Merit currency toward the 21-reward track (3,000 Merits total, including the Anamalia skin, Raider Tokens, and cosmetics).

The Route: Transfer Depot

Load in, head back-right on Riven Tides, straight to Transfer Depot.

Why this spot works:

• Low player traffic — most raiders bypass it for flashier zones
• Frequent Wasp spawns on the skyline
• Two nearby Snitches (one near the corner, one toward Weighing Checkpoint)
• Open sightlines for baiting instead of chasing

Hold the depot as your anchor. Don't push deep into Stacking Yard — that's where you meet other Raiders and lose loot to fights that don't pay out.

Loadout: Keep It Lean

You're not gearing for a boss fight. You're gearing for inventory space.

• One reliable medium-range weapon (Renegade 4 handles flying targets well)
• 140-180 rounds — enough, not excess
• Small healing stack for chip damage
• Optional Hash Key if you already run one

If you're dumping ammo to fit more parts, the farm is working. Bring less filler next run.

Bait, Don't Chase

Wasps patrol edges and back off if you overcommit. Hold your position. Let them come to you.

Chasing costs you three things: time, position, and loot density. Baiting from Transfer Depot keeps all your kills — and drops — in one tight, trackable zone.

If you keep leaving the depot, you're over-chasing. Slow down.

Snitches: Use Them, Don't Fear Them

Snitches pull more ARC activity into your zone. That's more Wasps.

Snitch activity can chain into Fireflies or worse. Use them from cover, not from the open.

Loot Priority: Fight Your Inner Loot Goblin

Random sellables are tempting. Ignore them. Event parts are the objective.

Merit Math: How Many Runs to 3,000?

Consistent 20-minute runs at Transfer Depot land you around 660 Merits average. Five solid runs clears the full reward track.

Mistakes That Kill Your Run

• Selling parts early — you'll need them later, don't gamble on it
• Chasing every Wasp across the map — let stubborn ones go
• Overpacking — no room left for the actual loot
• Skipping quiet zones — busy areas aren't automatically better
• Staying too long after bag is full — extract, don't get greedy

A clean 15-minute extraction beats a 25-minute run that ends in a death you saw coming.
