arc raiders trading is already a difficult game to play, without everyone and their mother looking for rusted gears to upgrade their Gunsmith Bench. It's a strangely rare item, especially when you consider how many abandoned machines, factories and vehicles are on topside.
There's good news and there's bad news. There's good and bad news. The good is that you can get two, three or even more rusted parts per run by taking a route through Buried city. It's not very quick because you have to breach so many times.
Here, I will go over where and how to find rusted components. Once you have what you need, the metro is right there for you to use arc raiders coins.
Arc Raiders: Where to find rusted Gears
You can find rusted parts in cars and generators. They're pretty common on all maps. To get rusted parts, you should loot the Warehouse, Marano Station and Parking Garage to the north of Buried city. You'll find either cars or generators in these areas, so you can go through them one at a time.
You're looking to find two generators on the east side of the building, next to one another. Both of these generators are likely to have gears that are rusted.
You'll need to check all the car hoods at the Marano Station car park, located on the north side of the station. It will take some time to go through all the cars. You should also look at the loot area on the platform.
Parking Garage is a game where your objective is to steal all the cars from each floor. Be careful with the Bombardier, which can sometimes spawn at the top of the building or on the street.
The Blue Gate's Checkpoint and Warehouse Zones are the best places to find gears due to the density of cars and busses. Due to the high player traffic and ARC, it's best to use items that can help you get out quickly. These include Adrenaline and Smoke Grenades.
Rusted Gears can also be found in the following areas:
Dam Battlegrounds: Scrap Yards, Hydroponic Dome/Power Generation Complexes and Water Treatment Control Zones
Rocket Assembly and Vehicle Maintenance on Spaceport
Parking Garage and Warehouse in Buried City
Rusted Gears can appear in many places on every map, so it is important to thoroughly check all areas with containers.
It is a good idea, if you want to protect your gear from knockouts in case of knockouts, to bring an augment that's not free or no augment at all.
