If you want to make better gear and weapons in ARC Raiders, you will need to upgrade your Workshop to Level 3. Each part of the Workshop, like the Explosive Station, Gear Bench, Gunsmith, Medical Lab, Refiner, and Utility Station, can be upgraded on its own. Doing this unlocks new crafting options and stronger equipment. In this guide, we will show you what materials you need and how to upgrade each station step by step.
How to Get a Level 3 Workshop
To upgrade your Workbench in ARC Raiders, go over to the crafting station and open the Level Up tab at the top of the screen. You will see a list of materials needed for the upgrade there. You can even track these items so that when you’re out on a raid, an eye icon will show up on them, making it easier to spot what you need. Once you’ve gathered everything, return to the Workbench and open the level-up menu to upgrade it. Doing this will unlock new crafting options and better gear for you to make.
Explosive Station
To upgrade the Explosive Station in ARC Raiders, you will need different materials for each level. For the first upgrade, you will need 50 Chemicals and 6 ARC Alloys. Once that’s done, the second level will require 3 Synthesised Fuel, 5 Crude Explosives, and 5 Pop Triggers. Finally, to reach level three, you will need 3 Laboratory Reagents, 5 Explosive Compounds, and 3 Rocketeer Drivers. Each upgrade makes the station more advanced, letting you craft stronger explosive gear and weapons.
