The Anvil Splitter is a powerful late-game modification that changes the Anvil’s firing pattern. Instead of single, high-damage bullets, it fires multiple weaker shots that excel at clearing groups, staggering enemies, and hitting targets at close to mid-range. While rare, it can spawn in several tech-oriented locations.

ARC Raiders Anvil Splitter location

The Anvil Splitter has no fixed spawn, but it commonly appears inside high-value indoor POIs with tech or weapon loot like the Town Hall. You can find it through scavenging rare containers, weapon crates, lockers, and shelf spawns.

You can also obtain the Splitter by finding its blueprint first (drops from random loot), then crafting it at your Weapon Bench. Since the Cold Snap update, blueprint drop rates — including rare mod blueprints — have been reduced compared to the earlier generous rates.

How to identify an Anvil Splitter before engaging

The Anvil Splitter stands out immediately once you know what to look for. It has a bulky, reinforced frame, moves slower than lighter ARC units, and produces distinctive heavy mechanical audio cues. If you hear loud, rhythmic metal movement echoing through a factory interior, you’re likely close.

Visually, it’s larger than most standard ARC enemies and often positioned in choke points such as loading bays, interior halls, or narrow approaches to loot-rich rooms. Spotting it early gives you the option to disengage or reposition rather than being forced into a close-quarters fight.

Tips for faster Anvil Splitter farming

• Prioritize high-tier indoor zones for better rare-loot chances.
• Open rare containers first, tech crates, weapon chests, and hidden caches.
• Run tight, efficient routes through clustered buildings to maximize container checks.
• Sweep every room and surface (tables, shelves, crates) since rare mods can spawn openly or in containers.

Anvil Splitter location strategy for repeat runs

If your goal is consistency, focus on one industrial POI per raid, approach it early, and extract after the encounter. This minimizes risk while maximizing efficiency. Over time, you’ll develop a mental map of which landmarks are worth checking and which can be skipped if time or resources are low.
