Light Gun Parts are one of the most commonly used crafting materials in ARC Raiders. You need them to craft, repair, and upgrade light-ammo weapons, which are the guns you will rely on the most during early and mid-game runs. Because these weapons are fast, flexible, and easy to control, Light Gun Parts are always in demand.
This guide explains exactly how you get Light Gun Parts, where they come from, and the safest ways to farm them without unnecessary risk.
Light Gun Parts Are Used For
Light Gun Parts are essential for light ammunition weapons. Among them are fast-firing guns that can be used in hit-and-run and prolonged battles. Besides, Light Gun Parts will be needed for repairing light arms after raids and for certain base crafting paths.
Since light weapons have low maintenance costs, Light Gun Parts will be your constant companion.
How to Get Light Gun Parts In Arc Raiders
Light Gun Parts can be obtained in two primary ways. You can find them as loot during raids, or after the blueprint is acquired, you can produce them. Direct looting is frequent in the beginning, while crafting becomes more reliable as you progress.
Light Gun Parts are Scavenged During Raids
The most straightforward method to obtain Light Gun Parts is through looting during the normal runs.
Light Gun Parts may come out of ordinary loot containers, weapon crates, lockers, and toolboxes. Besides, they also drop from common ARC enemies who carry or use light weapons. As these enemies are prevalent in low and medium risk zones, you won’t have to go into extreme danger to farm them.
If you are in the early game phase, it is better to clear standard areas than to move into high-threat places. Light Gun Parts are designed to be easy to obtain, hence they are dropped more frequently than heavy parts.
Dismantle Unused Light Weapons
Another reliable method is breaking down weapons you do not plan to use.
If you extract with extra light weapons, you can dismantle them at your base. This often returns Light Gun Parts and helps you recycle gear instead of selling or discarding it. This method is especially useful if your inventory fills up with duplicate guns.
Always dismantle damaged or low-quality weapons before crafting new ones.
Unlock the Light Gun Parts Blueprint
To craft Light Gun Parts consistently, you must unlock the blueprint.
The blueprint is found as loot and does not have a fixed location. It can appear in weapon crates, secured containers, and high-value loot areas. Once you extract with the blueprint and learn it at your base, Light Gun Parts become craftable.
Unlike Heavy Gun Parts, this blueprint is easier to find and usually appears earlier in progression.
Making Light Gun Parts
Once you have the blueprint, your next step will be to make Light Gun Parts in your workshop.
Crafting takes basic materials that are not to hard to collect from common enemies and loot containers. Since the cost is quite low, the best way to keep up with the demand is by crafting when your base is upgraded enough to support it.
In case you often use light weapons, then crafting should be your main source instead of drops only.
The Best Farming Strategy for Light Gun Parts
If you want to be very efficient then combine methods. Get Light Gun Parts during raids, extract extra light weapons, and dismantle them at your base. After you have unlocked crafting, use it to top off your supply instead of taking the risk of making extra runs.
Try to avoid taking too many Light Gun Parts with you in one raid. Since they are pretty common, losing them to a bad extraction hurts more than taking smaller and safer gains.
