The game Arc Raiders has introduced an enhanced crafting system for Mechanical Components, pivotal for advancing in mid-game stages.
Refiner and Crafting Process
Players can now use a Refiner within their workshops to craft Mechanical Components. This process requires seven Metal Parts and three Rubber Parts. For players struggling with acquiring these base materials, trading options with the character Celeste are available to obtain seeds. By upgrading the Refiner, players can also craft Advanced Mechanical Components, crucial for upgrading mid-game weapons like the Renegade.
Strategic Benefits
Crafting components at the base mitigates the risk of losing progress during failed Topside expeditions. This system supports consistent player development through reduced risk and enhanced preparation opportunities for more challenging encounters.
Resource Management and Combat
While Mechanical Components can be found in Mechanical loot areas, such as Water Treatment Control in Dam Battlegrounds, they are often scarce early in the game. Thus, crafting provides a more reliable and efficient path for obtaining these essential resources.
