Phantom Targets Part Two looks like a grind until you find the loop. Kill Glitched Wasps. Hold one spot. Extract full. That's the whole method.
You don't need to clear the map. You don't need to fight heavy ARC units. You need Transfer Depot on Riven Tides and a weapon that doesn't miss flying targets.

This run stacks two goals at once: merits for the event track, Glitched ARC Parts for the project. One farm, two payouts.

↖ What You're Actually Farming
Glitched ARC Parts come in five rarities. They convert to merits on extraction. 3,000 merits clears the full reward track.
| Reward | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Raider Tokens | ~100, spend in cosmetic store |
| Anamalia Skin | Free event skin |
| Backpack Style | Trash collector aesthetic |
| Trinkets | Backpack cosmetics |
| Emote | Event exclusive |
| Face Style | Glitch tattoo |
Rarity tiers, low to high: Common → Uncommon → Rare → Epic → Legendary. Legendary and Epic are the ones you build your bag around.
↖ Target Priority: Wasps Win, Everything Else Is Optional
Wasps are the farm. High drop consistency, low kill difficulty, medium ammo handles them fine.
| Enemy | Drop Rate | Risk | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glitched Wasp | Very high | Low-medium | Main target |
| Snitch | Indirect (calls Wasps) | Low if managed | Bait, don't rush the kill |
| Leaper | Possible | Medium-high | Only if convenient |
| Heavy ARC | Possible | High | Skip |
If you hear a Snitch, let it call before killing it. It pulls in extra Wasps. Kill it early and you lose free spawns.
Leapers can drop parts, but they're not worth chasing. Because Wasps drop parts consistently, they stay your priority target no matter what else is on screen.
↖ Best Spot: Transfer Depot, Riven Tides
Back-right area specifically. In our runs, this pocket stayed quiet for most of the raid — low PvP traffic, decent Wasp density, good sightlines for spotting flyers early.
| Advantage | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Low player traffic | Fewer fights over the same loot |
| Wasp spawns nearby | Steady part supply |
| Snitch spawns nearby | More bait, more Wasps |
| Open sightlines | Spot flying ARC early |
| Close to transit | Fast extract without crossing the map |
Benchmark: one clean run = 600+ merits, depending on rarity RNG and how tight your bag management is.
↖ Loadout: Nothing Fancy, Just Enough
| Slot | Bring | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Medium-range rifle | Wasps hover and juke |
| Ammo | 140–180 medium | Enough for extended farming, no mid-raid trips |
| Heals | A few basics | Covers chip damage |
| Utility | Binoculars | Spot distant ARC movement |
A Renegade-style rifle handles the hover-and-dodge pattern well. If your aim's inconsistent, carry more ammo, not less.
↖ The Route: Step by Step
1. Land near Transfer Depot. Spawn close, go straight in. Spawn far, don't waste time on side fights.
2. Clear the first Wasps you see. Loot immediately, stay in zone. If drops keep coming, don't leave — leaving early tanks your total payout.
3. Use Snitches as bait. Let it call → hold position → kill incoming Wasps → loot → clear the Snitch once it's more risk than reward.
4. Stop roaming. Rotating between Depot interior, nearby Snitch spawns, and sightlines toward Stacking Yard is enough. Chasing every distant sound just burns time and risks a random PvP death.
5. Manage your bag actively. Drop order when full:
| Priority | Keep |
|---|---|
| 1 | Legendary |
| 2 | Epic |
| 3 | Rare |
| 4 | Uncommon |
| 5 | Common |
| 6 | Random sellables |
Found a legendary with a full bag? Drop anything else for it. This event rewards targeted extraction, not hoarding.
6. Extract once full. Don't get greedy. A full bag is already a win — staying longer just adds risk for marginal gain.
↖ Squeeze More Merits Per Run
| Move | Payoff |
|---|---|
| Wasps first | Most consistent merit source |
| Snitches as bait | More Wasp spawns per raid |
| Upgrade bag contents | Higher average part value |
| Skip unnecessary PvP | Protects the whole run |
| Extract at full bag | Locks in progress |
This means bag discipline matters more than kill count. Ten Common parts is worse than five Epics.
↖ Day, Night, and Contested Lobbies
| Condition | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Day | Safer navigation | Slightly less ARC activity |
| Night | More ARC activity, faster pace | Harder visibility |
| Quiet lobby | Uninterrupted farming | Needs patience |
| Busy lobby | Chaos can trigger more ARC movement | More PvP risk |
New to the farm, run day. Confident and geared, night raids push faster payouts.
If someone's already working Transfer Depot, rotate to an edge or find another Wasp pocket. Fighting over scraps wastes more time than it saves.
↖ Mistakes That Kill Your Payout
- Selling parts too early — they're project materials first, loot second.
- Chasing every ARC sound — leaving the zone repeatedly kills your farm efficiency.
- Ignoring Snitches — they're free Wasp generators this event, not just noise.
- Bag full of junk — random loot isn't the goal here, parts are.
- Staying too long — the best run is the one you survive to extraction.
↖ FAQ
↖ What's the fastest way to farm Glitched ARC Parts?
Farm Glitched Wasps at Transfer Depot, Riven Tides. Reliable spawns, low risk, consistent drops — nothing else comes close for efficiency.
↖ Do Wasps always drop parts?
Not guaranteed every kill, but close. Most Wasps in this event drop one Glitched ARC Part of some rarity.
↖ How many merits do I need total?
3,000 merits for the full reward track. One solid run nets 600+, so five to six clean raids can finish it.
↖ Should I sell Glitched ARC Parts?
No — not until you've hit your Phantom Targets project requirements. Sell early and you slow your own progress.
↖ Are night raids worth it for this farm?
Yes if you're confident in combat. More ARC activity, faster part accumulation — but visibility drops and risk goes up.
↖ Bottom Line
Wasps. Transfer Depot. Bag discipline. Extract full. That's the entire method compressed into four words worth remembering.
Skip the map-wide roaming, skip the heavy ARC fights, skip hoarding Common-tier junk. Run the loop, upgrade your bag as you go, and the 3,000-merit track stops looking like a grind and starts looking like a weekend project.
