In ARC Raiders the Workshop is basically the most important part of your progression. u cant just rely on finding loot in the raids, u have to craft better gear if u want to survive against heavy machines and other players. The workshop is located in the colony and its divided into different stations. each station is responsible for specific type of equipment.
at the start everything is level 1 and u can only make basic stuff. to get the high tier loot u need to upgrade these stations using materials u find in the world. its a grind but its worth it. here on this page we put together the full list of all workshop stations so u can see what they do and what u need to level them up.
Gunsmith This is probably the first place u will go. The Gunsmith is where u craft all your weapons. from assault rifles and smgs to sniper rifles. but its not just about the guns, u also craft attachments here like scopes and magazines. if u want to win fights u need to upgrade this station to access better weapon blueprints.
Gear Station if u are dying too fast u need to check this station. Here u craft your defensive gear. The most important thing here is the Armor Plates and Helmets. but u also use the Gear Station to upgrade your Backpack. a bigger backpack means u can extract with more loot which makes the game way easier.
Medical Station You will take damage in this game so u need meds. The Medical station allows u to craft healing items. Level 1 gives u basic bandages but they are slow. upgrading this lets u craft Stims and Medkits that heal u much faster during combat. dont ignore this one.
Gadgets and Tools This includes a few different stations depending on what u need. generally this is where u make utility items. stuff like grenades, mines, scanners and decoys. these items are super useful for tactical plays or for destroying big ARC drones.
Material Refining As u play u will pick up a lot of random junk. The refining stations let u break down scrap or combine materials to make the rare parts u need for upgrades. always check if u can refine stuff before u sell it.
Check the links below for detailed info on every workshop station. we list all the recipes and upgrade costs so u know exactly what loot to look for in your next raid.
