Buy ARC Raiders Materials for Crafting and Upgrades
Buy ARC Raiders materials for crafting, refining, Workshop upgrades, weapon recipes, modifications, Projects, Quests, and other progression objectives. Select the exact resource and quantity you need instead of repeatedly searching Topside containers, recycling unrelated items, or waiting for specific material drops.
The purchased result covers the material and quantity configured in the product options. It does not automatically include a finished weapon, Blueprint, Workshop upgrade, completed Project stage, Quest completion, crafting action, or additional random loot.

How Materials Work in ARC Raiders
Materials are used across several progression systems rather than one universal crafting process. A resource required by the Gunsmith may have no use in the same recipe as a medical plant, ARC component, explosive material, or electronic part. Always check the complete recipe or upgrade requirement before selecting a material.
Some resources are used directly, while others must be refined into more advanced components. Basic materials such as Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, Rubber Parts, Fabric, and Chemicals appear in many early recipes. Refined and advanced materials become more important for higher Workshop levels, advanced weapons, rare modifications, and specialized tools.
- Crafting: create weapons, Augments, ammunition, mods, medical supplies, grenades, and tools.
- Refining: convert basic resources into mechanical, electrical, explosive, or other advanced components.
- Workshop upgrades: improve crafting stations and unlock access to more advanced recipes.
- Projects: contribute required resources to Expedition and other player Projects.
- Quests and trades: provide requested items to Traders or use them in exchanges.
Basic, Refined, and Advanced Materials
Basic materials are used in a broad range of recipes and are regularly consumed when crafting ammunition, equipment, consumables, and early upgrades. Even common resources can become a bottleneck when several recipes require the same components.
Refined materials are produced from other resources or obtained through more specialized activities. Mechanical Components, Electrical Components, Crude Explosives, Antiseptic, and similar items often connect basic looting with higher-level crafting.
Advanced materials support more demanding recipes. Advanced Mechanical Components, Advanced Electrical Components, Mod Components, Complex Gun Parts, Magnetic Accelerators, Exodus Modules, and Power Rods can be required for advanced weapons, tools, repairs, and specialized gear.
Gun Parts and Weapon Crafting
Gun Parts are divided into separate material types. Simple, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Complex Gun Parts are not interchangeable. The required component depends on the weapon Blueprint and its current crafting recipe.
Buying a weapon material does not provide the weapon itself. To craft the intended weapon, the Raider still needs the associated Blueprint, the correct Gunsmith progression, and every additional component shown in the recipe.
| Material | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Simple Gun Parts | Confirm that the selected weapon recipe specifically requires Simple Gun Parts. |
| Light Gun Parts | Check the weapon Blueprint and total quantity needed for the planned crafts. |
| Medium Gun Parts | Do not substitute them with Light or Heavy Gun Parts. |
| Heavy Gun Parts | Verify all additional advanced components required by the weapon. |
| Complex Gun Parts | Check the Workshop level and complete high-tier recipe before ordering. |
ARC Powercell, Power Rod, and Exodus Modules
Some materials have more than one practical use. An ARC Powercell can support Shield-related functions and is also used in crafting and Workshop progression. It should not be treated as a generic electronic component.
A Power Rod is an advanced refined material used in selected equipment and tool recipes. It can also serve specific Quest or access functions, so recycling or consuming it without checking the current objective may waste a valuable item.
Exodus Modules are advanced Topside materials used in selected weapon, tool, repair, and Project requirements. They are separate from the Expedition system itself: buying an Exodus Module does not complete an Expedition stage unless the required amount is contributed through the relevant Project.
How to Calculate the Correct Material Quantity
- Open the intended recipe or upgrade: use the current in-game requirement rather than an outdated external list.
- Subtract existing materials: check your Stash before ordering additional resources.
- Multiply by the number of crafts: crafting several copies consumes the recipe cost each time.
- Include refining steps: an advanced component may require several lower-tier materials.
- Check stack and inventory limits: large orders may require additional space or more than one delivery stage.
Live updates can adjust recipes, quantities, and Workshop requirements. The product is defined by the ordered material and quantity rather than by a fixed promise that the same amount will always complete a particular future recipe.
How ARC Raiders Material Delivery Works
The selected materials are delivered using the method stated in the product configuration and order instructions. Delivery may require a coordinated in-game meeting or Topside run. Prepare enough inventory space for the selected stacks and remain available at the agreed delivery time.
Large material orders may need to be divided according to current stack sizes, carrying capacity, inventory space, and extraction conditions. After delivery, the resources become part of the customer’s normal inventory and follow ARC Raiders’ standard knockout, Stash, Expedition, and extraction rules.
Materials carried in unprotected inventory can be lost under normal Topside conditions. Follow the delivery instructions and use available protected storage where appropriate.
Materials, Recycling, and Projects
Do not recycle every item simply because it can produce basic components. Materials may also be required by a Blueprint recipe, Workshop upgrade, Quest, Trader exchange, Scrappy progression, or active Project. Check current requirements before converting a rare or advanced resource into lower-tier materials.
Materials contributed to a Project are consumed by that Project. Buying a material package does not automatically allocate the resources or complete the relevant stage. The customer retains control over how the delivered items are used.
Need a Material That Is Not Listed?
If the resource or quantity you need is unavailable in the standard options, do not select a similar component. Open a ticket in the ExpCarry Discord and provide the complete material name, requested quantity, intended recipe or upgrade, platform, region, and preferred delivery time.
Select the exact ARC Raiders materials required by your current recipe, Workshop upgrade, Project, or Quest and prepare sufficient inventory space for delivery.
- The selected ARC Raiders material.
- The quantity configured in your order.
- Coordinated in-game delivery and order updates.
- Own ARC Raiders and have multiplayer access.
- Have enough inventory space for the selected stacks.
- Follow the provided delivery instructions.
