Where every shot counts amid the chaos of corporate espionage and relentless raids, fine-tuning your gear can mean the difference between extraction and elimination. Whether you're scavenging in the shadows of Speranza or holding the line topside, weapon modifications offer that crucial edge.
If this breakdown sparks some ideas for your next loadout, consider bookmarking it for easy access—it's always handy to have reliable intel at your fingertips. And if you're looking to gear up faster, take a moment to browse our ARC Raiders Shop for Coins, Map Keys, Weapons, Materials, Blueprints, and Boosting Services to keep your momentum going.
These handy add-ons let you customize firearms right in the heat of action, whether perched topside or delving into Speranza's depths. They slot into specific weapon types, enhancing everything from accuracy to ammo capacity. You can craft them at the Gunsmith station in your workshop, stumble upon them during raids, or snag basic versions from vendor Tian Wen for a quick boost. Compatibility varies by gun—always double-check your weapon's details to avoid wasting resources. Start simple with entry-level tweaks and scale up as you gather rarer components. It's all about balancing trade-offs, like taming recoil at the cost of a slight handling penalty, to suit your playstyle.
For new raiders dipping their toes into customization, Tier 1 options focus on core improvements using everyday scraps. These are straightforward to assemble and perfect for stabilizing shaky early-game shooting.

High-end pieces like the Anvil Splitter add flair for crowd control, but watch those damage dips. Durability tweaks extend session life, keeping you in the fight longer.
Layer these thoughtfully— a vertical grip might pair best with a muzzle brake for all-around control, while extended mags free you from constant reloads. Raid drops often yield prototypes, so scout mechanical zones for those Mechanical Components. Remember, higher tiers scale with your Gunsmith level; prioritize upgrades there for access to Mod Components.
Each firearm in ARC Raiders has predefined slots—rifles might favor compensators and grips, while shotguns lean toward chokes and silencers. Consult your loadout screen or experiment in the workshop; incompatible ones simply won't slot in, saving you from guesswork.
Target high-risk zones like industrial ruins for Wires and Mod Components. Combine raiding with daily vendor rotations at Tian Wen for basics, and use Blueprints from our shop to shortcut crafting queues. Efficiency comes from mapping routes that overlap resource nodes.
Yes, select Tier 3 variants like Compensator III extend burn time by 20%, letting you fire longer before overheat kicks in. Others, such as Silencer III, accelerate burn for sustained stealth, but always monitor your heat gauge to avoid mid-fight failures.
Absolutely, but effects scale with the base gun's quality— a legendary rifle amplifies a 25% recoil cut more than a common one. Test combos in low-stakes practice to optimize for PvE hordes or PvP duels.
The Kinetic Converter ramps up fire rate by 15% at recoil's expense, ideal for suppressive fire. For shotguns, the Anvil Splitter fires three projectiles but slashes damage per hit—great for area denial, less so for precision takedowns.
There you have it—a full rundown to mod your way to raid mastery. Keep following MMOJUGG for more insider tips and builds that keep you one step ahead.
