How to Unlock Explosive Bench 3 – ARC Raiders
In order to upgrade your Explosive Bench up to level 3, you would have to get 3 Laboratory Reagents, 5 Explosive Compounds, and 3 Rocketeer Drivers. After you have got all the required materials and the upgrade has been completed, it will be possible for you to manufacture explosives such as the Heavy Fuze Grenade and the Wolfpack.
Laboratory Reagents

Laboratory Reagents are an rare item that is used in crafting and upgrading Workshops and they can also be recycled to obtain materials. Recycling one Laboratory Reagent gives you sixteen Chemicals and three Crude Explosives. These are most commonly found through scavenging, with the laboratory area and Hospital area on the Dam Battlegrounds map being the most reliable place to search.
Explosive Compound

These are important for crafting explosives like the Heavy Fuze Grenade. 1×Explosive Compound plus 2×Canister can give you 1×Fuze Grenade. Upon recycling, it gives you 2×Crude Explosives. These compounds can be found in the Industrial section on the Dam map easily.
Rocketeer Driver

The Rocketeer Driver is a legendary item that you can get by either killing Rocketeers or taking their bodies, and it is very important for making things and upgrading workshops as well. When you recycle one Rocketeer Driver, you will receive two Advanced Electrical Components and three Arc Alloys.
Rocketeers are mostly found in a few specific places. In the northwest part of Dam Battlegrounds, there are so many husks that you can easily check several places in one run. South Swamp Outpost always has one or two husks nearby.
