ARC Raiders How to Upgrade Gunsmith
Upgrading the Gunsmith in ARC Raiders is the key to unlocking stronger weapon mods and better crafting options. During the Server Slam though, that system isn’t live yet. Here’s what you need to know and what to expect once it launches.
How to Upgrade the Gunsmith
In the full release, the Gunsmith will be upgraded from your base once you’ve gathered enough crafting materials from extractions. The upgrade option will appear directly inside the bench interface at the top of the screen. Selecting it will consume specific resources to unlock higher weapon tiers and new crafting recipes.
During the Server Slam, this option is disabled. You can still access the bench, view blueprints, and craft early gear, but you can’t raise its level or modify its upgrade path yet.
What You’ll Need for Upgrades
The exact materials and currencies haven’t been listed in-game yet, but players have confirmed that standard extraction loot like Metal Parts and ARC components will tie into future Gunsmith upgrades. These are the same materials currently used in crafting weapons and mods.
Why Gunsmith Upgrades Matter
Higher Gunsmith levels will likely improve blueprint access, mod capacity, and efficiency in weapon crafting. Upgrading early will save you from wasting extra materials on low-tier builds once the game goes live.
Final Blurb
You can’t upgrade the Gunsmith during the ARC Raiders Server Slam, but once the full version releases, the option will appear at the top of the bench menu. Stock up on materials now so you’re ready when it unlocks.
