In ARC Raiders, weapon mods like the Compensator are crucial for optimizing gun performance. The Compensator reduces vertical recoil and muzzle climb, making it particularly beneficial for automatic and burst-fire weapons. Acquiring the blueprint allows players to craft this mod at their Gunsmith workshop, improving combat effectiveness against groups of enemies and in PvP encounters.

How to obtain the Compensator blueprint

• The Compensator blueprint is a rare drop found primarily in high-tier loot caches such as Raider Caches and Security Lockers.
• These caches spawn in contested high-loot areas on maps such as Dam Battlegrounds, Blue Gate, and Buried City.
• Farming these locations repeatedly increases chances to obtain the blueprint.
• Occasionally, the blueprint can be acquired as a reward from missions or events, but looting remains the main method.

How to craft and upgrade the Compensator

• The Compensator is crafted at the Gunsmith workbench.
• Crafting consumes the blueprint once learned, but allows unlimited crafting thereafter.
• Requires Gunsmith Workshop level 3
• Materials needed:
  • 2x Mod Components
  • 8x Wires

You must first obtain and learn the Compensator blueprint to craft it at the Gunsmith workbench. The blueprint allows you to build this weapon mod, which reduces recoil and stabilizes your firearm for better accuracy.

How to use the Compensator

• Once crafted, the Compensator is attached to firearms to reduce recoil and improve shot grouping.
• It is especially effective on automatic rifles, submachine guns, and assault rifles where controlling muzzle rise is key.
• Improves stability and allows longer accurate bursts, enhancing both PvP and PvE firefights.

The Compensator blueprint is a strategic upgrade in ARC Raiders, particularly for players who rely on automatic or sustained-fire weapons and struggle with recoil or spread. Unlocking it means you can craft a high-quality attachment that improves weapon performance significantly. Focus on blueprint extraction, bench upgrades, and material investment. Once you have it, your control and accuracy will see a noticeable boost.
