ARC Performance Steel is one of the hardest items to find in ARC Raiders, as you’ll have to take down specific enemies.

Unlike most items in ARC Raiders, ARC Performance Steel can’t be obtained from looting containers or other areas. Instead, you can only obtain the item after taking down certain ARC enemies that you can come across on any map.

This guide will help you pinpoint which ARCs you should take down to gain ARC Performance Steel.

Best way to get ARC Performance Steel in ARC Raiders

To find ARC Performance Steel, you’ll need to take down any of the following ARCs.

  • Leaper
  • Bastion
  • Bombardier
  • The Queen
  • Matriarch
  • ARC Probes

Barring the last one, all five ARCs mentioned on the list are dangerous enemies that you should be extremely careful about. Here’s where you can find these heavy ARCs.

Leaper

Bombardier

  • Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Primary Facility
  • Buried City: Marano Park, Main Street
  • Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance, Arrival Building, South Trench Tower, Container Storage
  • Blue Gate: Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade, Raider’s Refuge

The Queen

  • Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes
  • Spaceport: Staff Parking
  • Blue Gate: Middle of Checkpoint and Trapper’s Glade

Matriarch

  • Spaceport: Launch Towers
  • Blue Gate: Headhouse

The Queen and Matriarch will only spawn under specific map conditions. While the Matriarch has its own special map condition, The Queen only spawns during a Harvester map condition.

The rest of the ARCs can spawn in areas that aren’t mentioned here. However, I have listed the spots where I have almost always encountered them on raids. Taking them down will almost guarantee an ARC Performance Steel.

If you don’t want to take the risks, you can always try your luck with ARC Probes. You’ll occasionally come across them during raids. However, opening an ARC Probe doesn’t guarantee you a Performance Steel, so you might need to find several of them.
