ARC Raiders How to Upgrade Workbench
Upgrading your workbench in ARC Raiders unlocks better gear, higher-tier blueprints, and more crafting options. But if you’re playing the tech test, you’ve probably noticed the upgrade feature isn’t working yet. Here’s what’s really going on and what to expect later.
How to Upgrade the Workbench in ARC Raiders
In the full version of ARC Raiders, the workbench is where you’ll craft weapons, armor, and modules. It’s expected to upgrade through multiple tiers using specific resources and blueprints. Each tier will likely expand your crafting list and improve material efficiency.
For now, during the tech test, you can’t upgrade the workbench. Players can still find higher-tier blueprints like the Jupiter set, but these can’t be built or slotted yet because bench upgrades are locked.
Why the Workbench Upgrade Is Disabled
The tech test is limited to early progression systems, mainly to test performance, loot drops, and extraction flow. Features like map keys, bench upgrades, and advanced crafting are present in the files but disabled. This means blueprints or materials meant for Workbench 2 or 3 are placeholders for the launch version.
What to Expect at Full Release
When upgrades go live, you’ll likely unlock new tiers by collecting rare materials and completing missions tied to the workshop. Upgrading should improve:
Access to higher-tier weapon and armor blueprints
Crafting efficiency for ammo and consumables
Storage and material conversion rates
Expect the workbench to become the hub for late-game crafting once the full build drops.
Final Blurb
You can’t upgrade the workbench in the ARC Raiders tech test right now, even if you’ve found blueprints that need higher tiers. Once the full release hits, the bench should expand just like your arsenal. Until then, stash those materials and wait for the update.
