In ARC Raiders, few crafting materials cause as much of a bottleneck as Complex Gun Parts. As an Epic tier material weighing 1 kg per unit with a base value of 3,000, these components are absolutely required to build high-tier meta weapons like the Jupiter sniper rifle, the Aphelion energy rifle, and the experimental Equalizer beam rifle.
Because they don’t drop from basic enemy grunts like standard scrap, building a steady supply requires moving past simple exploration. Relying entirely on blind luck will keep you stuck in the lower-tier gear brackets indefinitely. If you want to consistently extract with multiple parts per match, you need to target high-value drop zones, exploit specific skill nodes, and leverage the refinement economy.
Target High-Value Loot Zones
Complex Gun Parts have specific regional spawn weights across the game's maps. Your best chance of finding them as raw floor loot or within containers is to head directly into designated high-value zones marked in red on your tactical map.
According to data tracking drop probabilities, The Spaceport holds the highest natural density, accounting for roughly 29% of recorded Complex Gun Part drops. Focus your runs tightly around the main Spaceport checkpoints and the interior tech labs. When looting these spaces, prioritize desk cabinets, office drawers, and large red tool lockers—avoid wasting time on loose mechanical rubble.
If you are running Dam Battlegrounds, which holds about a 24% drop share, bypass the standard trenches and go straight for the Control Tower area. Using the exterior ziplines lets you quickly ascend to the higher levels and access the high-tier breach rooms. While these rooms often require a key to open, the dense concentration of advanced technical containers inside makes them well worth the investment. Secondary options include the Seed Vaults inside Stella Montis (12%) and the deeper subway tunnels of the Buried City (18%), though their lower overall spawn weights mean you will have to search significantly more containers to get the same yield.
The Security Breach Method
If you want to pull 2 to 3 Complex Gun Parts out of a single match consistently, relying on standard drawers isn't enough. You need to invest heavily into your character's progression. Unlocking the Security Breach node in the Security skill tree completely changes your farming efficiency.
This specific skill allows you to bypass and open locked Security Lockers and weapon caches built into the walls of major military structures, primarily along the perimeter walls of the Spaceport and hidden inside the concrete bunkers of Blue Gate. Not only do these lockers drop advanced weapon components at an exponentially higher rate than basic map containers, but they are also the premier source for high-tier weapon schematics. If you are struggling with RNG or want to bypass the grind entirely, you can often find dedicated third-party services offering ARC Raiders blueprints for sale Steam platforms or community trade hubs, allowing you to secure the exact weapon recipes you need without relying on locker drops. However, for a self-sufficient loop, hitting 3 to 4 Security Lockers per raid remains the most reliable organic method.
The Refinement Math: Turning Simple Into Complex
When the server's loot tables refuse to cooperate, you can bypass the drop rates completely by using the Refiner workbench back at your hideout. Once you upgrade to Refiner Level III and obtain the Complex Gun Parts Blueprint, you can manufacture your own high-tier components using lower-grade salvage.
The exact recipe requires:
2x Light Gun Parts
2x Medium Gun Parts
2x Heavy Gun Parts
To build these intermediate pieces, you will need a massive reserve of Simple Gun Parts, which act as the basic building blocks of the entire weapon management system. Each tier requires 3 Simple Gun Parts to craft, meaning a single Complex Gun Part has a raw manufacturing cost of 18 Simple Gun Parts.
To farm Simple parts efficiently, drop into Stella Montis via the Sandbox mode and completely clear out the Research & Admin buildings. Desk cabinets here are heavily weighted for low-tier gun parts. Alternatively, hunt the skies for small airborne ARC units like Wasps and Hornets—they carry a near-guaranteed drop rate for Simple components upon destruction.
Don't Skip Your Daily Vendor Allowance
Never underestimate the power of passive accumulation. The easiest, zero-risk method to supplement your stash is visiting the hub merchants between your raids.
Head over to the vendor plaza and locate Celeste, the seed merchant. She offers exactly 1 Complex Gun Part per day in exchange for 60 Assorted Seeds. Seeds are common, lightweight items that you can easily stuff into your secure pouch during low-risk runs. Make checking Celeste's inventory a mandatory part of your daily log-in routine. Buying her single daily stock over a week gives you 7 effortless components—enough to craft two high-end weapons without ever having to risk your gear in a high-intensity Spaceport firefight.
For players looking to maximize their efficiency, utilizing external tools can significantly streamline the process. Websites like U4N provide comprehensive strategy networks, updated market values, and community tools that help players optimize their extraction routes and manage their hideout economies more effectively. By combining daily vendor purchases with targeted Spaceport locker runs, you will quickly turn a scarce resource into a steady, reliable surplus.
