Are you looking for Microscopes for farming Advanced Mechanical Components in ARC Raiders? Here's a guide on where you can find them in ARC Raiders.

ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter from Embark Studios. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.

As an extraction shooter, looting and crafting with materials is a major part of the game's progression. After learning and consuming blueprints, you need to craft it with materials like gun parts and advanced mechanical components. You can farm Advanced Mechanical Components from Microscopes.

In ARC Raiders, you need normal gun parts to craft most weapons. However, for crafting and upgrading higher rarity weapons, you need mechanical components. If you're struggling to find Microscopes, then here's a quick guide on where you should look.

How to Find Microscopes in ARC Raiders

Microscopes are a great source of constantly getting Advanced Mechanical Components. Advanced Mechanical Components are at the core of upgrading and crafting material for high-rarity weapons. While the drop pattern of loot is random in ARC Raiders, there are certain places that can drop certain items, like Microscopes.

If you're looking for Microscopes, then try venturing or looking into Exodus POIs of all maps in ARC Raiders. The only map with Exodus POI is Stella Montis. Here are the best locations to look for Microscopes on Stella Montis:

  • Assembly
  • Business Center
  • Medical Research
Metaforge
All Exodus POIs in Stella Montis

While Stella Montis is a very PvP-heavy map, you can get Microscopes easily with a very odd trick if you don't want to invest much or have gear fear from the recent expedition. The odd trick is going in naked without any shield, augments, or guns.

With a naked loadout, you'll get a safe pocket, so you can look for Microscopes and put them in your safe pocket and surrender. However, as Stella Montis is littered with Pops, Fireballs, and Ticks, navigating these areas might become a major grind for you. Unfortunately, Microscopes are only available on Stella Montis.
