Arc Raiders, an extraction shooter, offers a variety of loot, items to craft, and multiple ways to craft them. The process is a bit simpler than some other games in the genre, but it still involves a lot to keep track of.
Most of the items you’ll regularly use are made at stations. Each station has a specific purpose and, except for the first one, all of them can be upgraded through three levels to unlock new crafting options.
There are seven different stations in Arc Raiders, each serving a unique function:
| Station | Upgrade Materials | Usage |
| — | — | — |
| Workbench | N/A | Crafts anything you have a blueprint for—default or found. |
| Gunsmith | Level One: 20 Metal Parts, 30 Rubber Parts | Crafts and upgrades weapons and weapon attachments. |
| | Level Two: 3 Rusted Tools, 5 Mechanical Components, 8 Wasp Drivers | |
| | Level Three: 3 Rusted Gears, 5 Advanced Mechanical Components, 4 Sentinel Firing Cores | |
| Gear Bench | Level One: 25 Plastic Parts, 30 Fabric | Crafts Augments and Shields. |
| | Level Two: 3 Power Cables, 5 Electrical Components, 5 Hornet Drivers | |

| | Level Two: 2 Damaged Heat Sinks, 5 Electrical Components, 6 Snitch Scanners | |

Upgrading stations requires specific materials. For example, upgrading the Medical Lab to the next level might involve various components like Bastion Parts or Antiseptics.
A helpful tip is to gather scrap early in the game, as it provides the materials needed for initial station upgrades. Prioritize crafting ammunition at the Workbench and healing items at the Medical Station as soon as possible. These are vital for survival in early gameplay.
The Gunsmith is also highly recommended to upgrade early because it significantly improves weapon performance during combat, giving you a substantial advantage.
