What to know

Torrente is a rare light machine gun (LMG) requiring medium ammo and offers a very large magazine size.
You can find Torrente blueprints and weapons by scavenging weapon caches or crafting with rare materials.
The gun's accuracy improves significantly when crouched, making it suitable for holding positions and suppressive fire.

While exploring Arc Raiders, the Torrente LMG stands out as a high-capacity, rare weapon ideal for mowing down swarms of ARC enemies. Locating and mastering this powerhouse brings a unique tactical edge to raids.

How to craft and upgrade the Torrente Gun

To craft the Torrente at a workshop:

Step 1

Collect two advanced mechanical components, three medium gun parts, and six steel springs from exploring or recycling loot.

Step 2

Take the blueprint to Gunsmith Level 2 in your base. Select "Torrente I" in the craft menu and use the gathered materials.

Step 3

To upgrade, use additional components plus your existing Torrente. Each upgrade increases your magazine size, reduces reload time, and improves durability. Upgrades up to Torrente IV require more components each time.

How to use the Torrente Gun in combat

Step 1

Always deploy the Torrente while crouched or holding position. Its recoil and spread become manageable, enabling accurate bursts.

Step 2

Keep plenty of medium ammo in your inventory; the gun burns through stacks rapidly. Coordinate with your squad to cover reloads and repositioning.

Step 3

Utilize Torrente’s suppressive fire in close- to mid-range fights. It’s less effective at long range due to wild recoil.

Step 4

Slot mods for barrel, magazine, and stock to enhance performance. Even a suppressor won’t fully quiet the gun, so use it when stealth is less critical.
