How to get mechanical components in ARC Raiders

The easiest way to obtain mechanical components is to craft them from Refinery. You can use the Refinery in your workshop to create mechanical components, and here are the items you will need:

• 7 metal parts
• 3 rubber parts

Both metal parts and rubber parts are common items that can be found throughout the map. They are some of the most popular loot items, so finding them won’t be a problem. If you upgrade Scrappyit will also help you find the two items we are talking about.

Metal parts and rubber parts can also be obtained by salvaging scrap metal. The quantity you receive in the process will be random, but you should have enough.

By the way, mechanical components can also be obtained directly from recycled weapons. However, you will need to recycle non-common weapons and non-common modifications. You can also recycle upgraded versions of certain weapons to obtain mechanical components.

Generally speaking, recycling weapons to obtain mechanical components is an inefficient way. Considering how common metal and rubber parts are, it’s better to use a refinery.
