Unlocking Arc Flex Rubber in Arc Raiders: A Quick Guide

Arc Flex Rubber is one of the first materials you’ll need to gather for the High-Gain Antenna project in Arc Raiders’ Flashpoint update, but don’t expect it to be a walk in the park. It has limited sources, though the new Close Scrutiny map condition can give you an edge, provided you’re equipped and ready for the challenge.

Here’s a rundown of where to find Arc Flex Rubber so you can complete the first stage of your project and move on. Unfortunately, it only gets tougher from here, as you’ll also need Vaporizer Regulators and Assessor Matrixes.

You can snag Arc Flex Rubber as a rare drop from looting the following Arc machines:

These are typically high-tier enemies that will put up a good fight, but they’re not too hard to locate. For instance, Leapers often spawn near Water Treatment Control and Research & Administration on Dam Battlegrounds, while Bastions can be found at Raider’s Refuge, Ancient Fort, and Traffic Tunnels on Blue Gate, or the Loading Bay in Stella Montis.

The new Close Scrutiny map condition is also a solid option. It boosts the quality and quantity of Arc loot, and there’s plenty to be found inside the Assessors that spawn periodically during matches. If you’re geared up for this challenging map modifier, you can quickly gather all the Arc Flex Rubber you need, just like I did.

You’ll also collect a good amount of Arc Alloy, Arc Performance Steel, and Advanced Arc Powercells, which are essential for the first stage of the project. This method is also the best way to progress through the later stages of the High Gain Antenna project, where you’ll need Arc Coolant, Arc Thermo Lining, Arc Synthetic Resin, Surveyor Vaults, Vaporizer Regulators, and Assessor Matrixes. In short, it can be your go-to for this project, as long as you’re well-equipped.
