In Arc Raiders, you’ll gather many materials to survive against aggressive robots and hostile Raiders. These include quest items, weapons, light bulbs, and almost everything else you come across, as each has a purpose and will be used at some point.
One of the most important materials is Simple Gun Parts. These are key for crafting, upgrading, and fixing many of your weapons. Because of this, you’ll use them often. It’s crucial to keep a good supply of Simple Gun Parts and know where to find more when your stock runs low.
Where to Find Simple Gun Parts
You can get Simple Gun Parts in several ways and locations. The most common method is simply looting—they’re fairly common and can be found on all five maps. Although they are marked as a Security item, Simple Gun Parts can appear at any point of interest, but your chances are higher in areas designated for this loot type.
Some prime spots to farm for Simple Gun Parts include:
- Launch Tower at Spaceport
- Control Tower at Dam Battlegrounds
- Security Wing at The Blue Gate
Among these, the Security Wing at The Blue Gate is the best if you’re specifically hunting for Simple Gun Parts in the wild. This underground section spans multiple rooms over two floors. Focus your search in the breachable room on the first floor, which has lockers and containers to check, and in the second-floor rooms, where loot is usually scattered around. The Security Wing also features the Red Room, which often contains plenty of materials and gear.
The Launch Tower is a decent location too. When searching here, pay attention to the blue cabinets and red lockers, as they frequently contain useful items. There’s also a lot of electrical equipment near computers and stations, which can include loot as well.
The Control Tower may also drop Simple Gun Parts, but this depends on whether you have a key to the locked room at the top. Keep in mind, Control Tower is a PvP zone where hostiles Raiders are common, especially if you’re playing in teams of two or three.
The most reliable way to find Simple Gun Parts is by defeating enemies like Wasps, Hornets, and Turrets. These enemies often drop one or two Simple Gun Parts, so targeting them and looting their corpses is a good strategy. You can also sometimes find Simple Gun Parts in Security Breaches, but this method isn’t as consistent unless you’re familiar with all the spawn points across each map.
Alternative Methods for Obtaining Simple Gun Parts
Another way to get Simple Gun Parts is by buying them from Celeste. You can purchase up to five each day for seven seeds each, which is a smart way to quickly build your stockpile.
You can also recycle specific weapons and materials you’ve collected to get Simple Gun Parts. The items suitable for recycling include:
- Anvil I-IV
- Arpeggio I-IV
- Burletta I-IV
- Ferro III-IV
- Hairpin III-IV
- Il Toro I-IV
- Kettle III
- Rattler III-IV
- Stitcher III-IV
- Complex Gun Parts
- Heavy Gun Parts
- Light Gun Parts
- Medium Gun Parts
- Unusable Weapons
Recycling any of these typically yields between one and five Simple Gun Parts, depending on the item’s level and condition. It’s best to recycle weapons when their durability is low and you no longer plan to repair them. Keep in mind, recycling outside of raids yields more materials than doing so during a session.
Unfortunately, you can’t craft Simple Gun Parts directly, so your options are to find, recycle, or purchase them. By searching enemy corpses, especially those of ARC enemies, and buying from Celeste daily, you’ll steadily build a strong supply to upgrade your weapons.
