Arc Synthetic Cell Location

The Arc Synthetic Cell belongs to the Tech loot pool, typically spawning in zones with advanced machinery, terminals, and electrical systems. You’ll mostly find it inside research lockers, server rooms, and control hubs across select maps.

Map Primary Zones Tips
Spaceport Reactor Core, Maintenance Wing, Cargo Bay Search inside power generator rooms and drone wrecks.
The Blue Gate Data Center, Central Hangar, Control Tower Focus on secured labs with active terminals and servers.
Buried City Synth Bay, Sub-Level Labs, Energy Tunnels Check around dismantled robots and flickering control units.

How to use Arc Synthetic Cell in ARC Raiders

Arc Synthetic Cells are required to craft or upgrade advanced weapons and drone modules. They’re especially vital for Energy Weapon Tuning and Tech Tier-3 crafting.

You’ll need:

  • Arc Synthetic Cell × 2
  • Advanced Tech Components × 4
  • Micro Conductors × 3

If recycled, you’ll receive:

  • 6× Tech Fragments
  • 1× Power Core

These materials are essential for maintaining end-game energy systems and optimizing weapon charge efficiency.

Tips for faster Arc Synthetic Cell farming

  • Prioritize tech-heavy locations (Data Centers, Power Plants).
  • Avoid open fields — these cells don’t spawn in natural areas.
  • Loot defeated drones and synthetic enemies; they often drop cells.
  • Use high perception gear to spot glowing tech crates faster.
  • Extract quickly using Safe Pockets once you’ve secured rare loot.
  • Farm during off-peak hours to avoid heavy competition from other Raiders.
