Simple Gun Parts in ARC Raiders are mainly obtained by breaking down weapons and looting specific enemies/containers, then used for crafting, upgrading, and repairing guns. They can also be refined into higher‑tier gun parts once your Refiner is upgraded.

What Simple Gun Parts Are

  • Simple Gun Parts are an uncommon topside material used for weapon crafting, upgrades, and repairs.
  • You can refine them into Light, Medium, and Heavy Gun Parts at Refiner level 2, spending 4 Simple Gun Parts per refined part.

Main Ways To Get Simple Gun Parts

  • Recycle spare weapons : Most guns you don’t need can be recycled into Simple Gun Parts, often giving one or more parts per item.
  • Dismantle “green” weapons : Players report that taking apart green‑rarity weapons is a reliable way to get basic gun components.
  • Loot enemies and drones : Killing ARC drones and other enemies encountered during runs can drop basic gun components and Simple Gun Parts.

Vendor, Blueprint, And Buying Options

  • You can buy bundles of Simple Gun Parts (for example, 5 at a time) from certain vendors in exchange for seeds or similar currency.
  • Community discussions mention Celest as a vendor that sometimes sells them, so checking her stock whenever you are in the hub is worthwhile.
  • Blueprints and workshop upgrades mainly use Simple Gun Parts as an input, rather than letting you freely duplicate them without materials.

Using Simple Gun Parts Efficiently

  • Use them first on your core weapons (those you run every raid) because higher‑tier upgrades and repairs quickly increase the required Simple Gun Parts per level.
  • Consider recycling unwanted upgraded weapons later: many crafted or leveled guns recycle into multiple Simple Gun Parts or Metal Parts, partially refunding your investment.

Quick Farming Tips

  • Run low‑ to mid‑risk routes with high weapon and container density to maximize drops and recycle fodder while avoiding heavy losses.
  • Combine a “loot and recycle” loop: grab every low‑value weapon, finish the run, then recycle the haul at base for a steady stream of Simple Gun Parts.
