If you want to stay safe from the dangers on the surface in Arc Raiders, you need to gather everything you can find. There are many materials in the game, and you’ll use many of them often for crafting, completing quests, or donating to your Expedition Project.
With the new Trophy Display feature, some materials you previously ignored now have a purpose. One of these is the ARC Synthetic Resin, which you need to finish the final stage of this project. You’ll need ten pieces of this resin for that step. To help you gather as many as possible, here are the best ways to find ARC Synthetic Resin.
Where to Find ARC Synthetic Resin
Similar to other materials related to ARC enemies, ARC Synthetic Resin is dropped by various enemy types in the game. However, unlike some other items, it isn’t limited to a specific type of foe. The enemies that can drop ARC Synthetic Resin include:
- Matriarch
- Queen
- Sentinels
- Shredders
- Snitches
- Spotters
- Turrets
- Wasps
The easiest enemies to defeat for this resin are Wasps because they are numerous across four of the five maps. Still, the chance of them dropping ARC Synthetic Resin is quite low. The same goes for Turrets, Snitches, and Spotters—these typically don’t drop much, if any, resin when looted. So, while it’s worth checking their corpses, don’t focus solely on killing them to get the resin.
Matriarchs, Queens, and Sentinels are more reliable sources of ARC Synthetic Resin. Since they are larger bosses, they often drop more loot, including their cores and broken-off pieces during battles. However, unless you’re already fighting these ARC or hunting for their cores, it’s not worth the extra effort just to get the resin.
Shredders are another good option. They’re cheaper to kill and are commonly found on Stella Montis. For this, bring weapons like Snap Blast or Light Impact Grenades. You can kill a Shredder quickly—only three Snap Blasts are needed, or you can throw Light Impact grenades at their thrusters to cause damage.
If you’re searching for Shredders, good spots include Medical Research, Cultural Archives, and the Lobby, as these areas almost always have them. They are a solid enemy choice for farming ARC Synthetic Resin because they are plentiful and easy to find.
Looting Baron Husks
If you prefer not to fight ARC enemies, you can also loot Baron Husks scattered across most maps. These are large, dead ARC creatures you can breach and loot for various ARC items. The best place to find them is in Dam Battlegrounds, which hosts the most of these husks.
There are always three Baron Husks on this map, regardless of map events or the time of day. They spawn in specific spots: south of the Power Generation Complex, southwest of Water Treatment Control, and in the western woods. These locations have a high chance of dropping ARC Synthetic Resin, making them good targets when you’re not fighting ARC.
After breaching a Baron Husk, it will spew flames for a few seconds. It’s best to jump off immediately after cracking it open. Once the flames stop, climb back onto the husk and loot the container to collect the ARC Synthetic Resin inside.
