In Arc Raiders, having a reliable weapon is essential for survival in the harsh wastelands. You can find weapons scattered throughout the game world, but a better way to consistently get new firearms is by using the Gunsmith feature in the Workbench tab.
Similar to other workbenches, the Gunsmith can be upgraded multiple times. Upgrading it unlocks new craftable items and allows you to access rare, higher-level blueprints. An important early upgrade is acquiring Rusted Tools, which are hard to find since, despite a world falling apart, they’re not as common as you’d expect.
To find Rusted Tools in Arc Raiders, the two main locations you want to visit are:
– The Water Treatment area in Dam Battlegrounds
– Vehicle Maintenance in Spaceport
These spots are designated for Mechanical and Industrial loot, and they have more containers that can be broken open. These containers often have a better chance of holding Rusted Tools, but you might also find them lying around or inside loot boxes and bins elsewhere.
Keep in mind, these aren’t the only places where you can find Rusted Tools. Points of interest like Power Generation Complex, Container Storage, and Warehouse Complex also tend to have a higher chance of containing this key item.

Also, steer clear of The Blue Gate map. It’s full of stronger enemies and heavily populated with PVP-focused players. Similarly, the Buried City map doesn’t have many Mechanical or Industrial locations, so you shouldn’t expect to find Rusted Tools there very often.
