getting it to upgrade your high-end stuff. So you have to gradually upgrade your weapons and gears, and when you hit the ceiling of any workbench, you\u2019ll need to upgrade it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So these are the workbenches in the game and what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ARC Raiders Workbenches Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Workbench<\/th><th>Their Purpose<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gunsmith<\/td><td>Self-explanatory, you use this workbench to upgrade your weapons or to craft new ones.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Medical Lab<\/td><td>This one is used for crafting health Consumeable And the revival Tools.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gear Bench<\/td><td>This one is there for Armor and protective equipment.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Utility Bench<\/td><td>This workbench\u2019s purpose is to let you craft tools and gadgets like grappling hooks and ziplines.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Explosives station<\/td><td>Self-explanatory, this bench lets you craft explosives and grenades.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Refiner<\/td><td>This one is for the sole purpose of recycling material or recycling for other Items.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Priority Breakdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Workbench<\/th><th>Focus Area<\/th><th>Early Game Importance<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Gunsmith<\/td><td>Damage<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Medical Lab<\/td><td>Sustain<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gear Bench<\/td><td>Defense<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Utility Bench<\/td><td>Mobility<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Explosives Station<\/td><td>AoE<\/td><td>Situational<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Refiner<\/td><td>Efficiency<\/td><td>Long-term value<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Blueprint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So you can\u2019t just craft a high-end item right away. In Arc Raiders, it does not work that way in this game. Instead, you have to acquire blueprints of items you want to craft, so essentially, what blueprints are is the recipe for crafting any essential and rare item. You could find the blueprints while looting in the game, by completing the in-game quests, or by completing in-game events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rarer the blueprint is, the harder you would have to look for it, or you could just buy them from the vendors as well, but for that, you will have to increase your reputation in one faction enough to earn the trust of their vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blueprint Acquisition Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Method<\/th><th>Reliability<\/th><th>Difficulty<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Looting<\/td><td>RNG-Based<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quests<\/td><td>Consistent<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Events<\/td><td>Limited-Time<\/td><td>Medium\u2013High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vendors<\/td><td>Reputation Locked<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Which Workbenches Should Be Your Priority?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the ARC raider is designed to make players prioritize surviving over everything, and since the game is designed, we are going to follow it by the letter. So we\u2019re prioritizing surviving over anything in this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So firstly, you need to arm yourself to the teeth, because the base level weapons are not lethal enough to support you for a long period of time. So upgrade your gunsmith to atleast a level 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After gunsmith focus on your Medical Lab because you\u2019ll need to have something instantaneous on yourself to boost your health and restore your sheild which is why you need medical lab upgraded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third one is the utility badge, because it helps you move in the game faster and allows you to be more agile, then the gear bench, and then go on and upgrade the workbenches you want to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Upgrade Roadmap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Step<\/th><th>Upgrade<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Gunsmith Level 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Medical Lab<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Utility Station<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Gear Bench<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>Situational Workbenches<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Workbench Materials Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will list down the materials you need to upgrade each and every workbench in the game.

High-tier items require blueprint unlocks before crafting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is crafting mandatory for progression?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Crafting directly impacts survivability and long-term progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the fastest way to unlock Tier 3 workbenches?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Focused material farming and blueprint acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafting in ARC Raiders is not about unlocking everything at once. It is about upgrading the right stations at the right time. Understanding how workbenches, blueprints, and materials work together allows players to progress smoothly and avoid unnecessary grind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Different games focus on different things.
