Mods and Ammo

ARC Raiders mods fill muzzle, grip, magazine, stock and barrel roles in up to three tiers, and six ammo types feed its guns. Most mod figures are launch-era, dated Oct 29, 2025; Extended Barrel changed in update 1.29.0, and the Anvil Splitter stopped being a mod in update 2.0.

ARC Raiders' mods (attachments) trim recoil, spread and noise or add magazine size, usually in tiers I to III, and its guns run on six ammo types: Light, Medium, Heavy, Shotgun, Energy Clips and Launcher Ammo. The fullest mod table is Beebom's of Oct 29, 2025, the day before launch, so its figures are launch figures. Embark's later changes are noted here, and no reliable source publishes a current table of every mod as of Oct 31, 2026.

Muzzle mods

All figures and recipes in this page's mod tables are launch figures from Beebom, Oct 29, 2025. The fit lists are Beebom's too and may have changed.

Mod	Effect	Recipe	Bench
Compensator I	-25% per-shot dispersion	6 Metal Parts, 1 Wires	I
Compensator II	-35%	8 Metal Parts, 1 Wires	II
Compensator III	-50%, +20% durability burn	1 Mod Components, 6 Wires	III
Muzzle Brake I	-15% horizontal and vertical recoil	6 Metal Parts, 1 Wires	I
Muzzle Brake II	-20%	1 Mechanical Components, 1 Duct Tape	II
Muzzle Brake III	-25%, +20% durability burn	1 Mod Components, 6 Wires	III
Shotgun Choke I	-20% base dispersion	6 Metal Parts, 1 Wires	I
Shotgun Choke II	-30%	1 Mechanical Components, 1 Duct Tape	II
Shotgun Choke III	-40%, +20% durability burn	1 Mod Components, 9 Wires	III

Silencer III	-60%, +20% durability burn	3 Mod Components, 15 Wires	III
Shotgun Silencer	-50% noise	1 Mod Components, 9 Wires	III

Chokes and the Shotgun Silencer fit the Il Toro and Vulcano. Embark's 1.20.0 notes (Mar 17, 2026) singled out the Il Toro with a choke as too effective at range.

Grips

Mod	Effect	Recipe	Bench
Angled Grip I	-20% horizontal recoil	6 Plastic Parts, 1 Duct Tape	I
Angled Grip II	-30%	6 Plastic Parts, 1 Duct Tape	II
Angled Grip III	-40%, -30% ADS speed	1 Mod Components, 6 Duct Tape	III
Vertical Grip I	-20% vertical recoil	6 Plastic Parts, 1 Duct Tape	I

Extended magazines

Mod	Light	Medium	Shotgun	Recipe (Medium in brackets where it differs)	Bench
Tier I	+5	+4	+2	6 Plastic Parts, 1 Steel Spring	I
Tier II	+10	+8	+4	1 Mechanical Components, 1 Steel Spring (6 Plastic Parts, 1 Steel Spring)	II
Tier III	+15	+12	+6	1 Mod Components, 6 Steel Spring	III

Source: Beebom, launch figures, Oct 29, 2025. Beebom fits the Light mags to the Bobcat and Burletta and the Medium mags to the Arpeggio, Venator, Torrente, Renegade, Osprey and Tempest.

Stocks

Mod	Effect	Recipe	Bench
Stable Stock I	-40% recoil and dispersion recovery time	7 Rubber Parts, 1 Duct Tape	I
Stable Stock II	-60%	1 Mechanical Components, 1 Duct Tape	II
Stable Stock III	-50%, +20% equip and unequip time	1 Mod Components, 6 Duct Tape	III
Lightweight Stock	+200% ADS speed, -30% equip and unequip time, +50% recoil recovery duration, +50% vertical recoil control	1 Mod Components, 6 Duct Tape	III
Padded Stock	-30% horizontal and vertical recoil, -30% per-shot dispersion, -30% ADS speed, +20% equip and unequip time	1 Mod Components, 6 Duct Tape	III

Source: Beebom, launch figures, Oct 29, 2025. Beebom lists Stable Stock III below II, which looks odd, so check in game. Lightweight fits the Renegade and Vulcano. PCGamesN puts the Lightweight Stock blueprint at Gunsmith II (May 7, 2026), which differs from Beebom's Bench III.

Barrel and tech mods

Extended Barrel: at launch it gave +25% bullet velocity and +15% vertical recoil. Update 1.29.0 (May 19, 2026) raised the velocity bonus to 30%, increased the damage falloff distance by 15%, renamed it Extended Barrel III and added Extended Barrel I and II below it.

Kinetic Converter: +15% fire rate, +20% horizontal and vertical recoil (launch figures). Beebom gave no materials for it.

8:37 Anvil Splitter: no longer a mod. Update 2.0 (Oct 8, 2026) made it an upgrade option for the Amplified Anvil and removed the Anvil's Tech Mod slot. The item no longer drops but can be sold or recycled into Amplified Fragments. See Weapon Amplification. The clip, from Apr 21, 2026, shows it while it was still a mod.

Other changes: mods can affect ADS transition speed on scoped weapons since 1.29.0, and guns on the ground show their installed mods since 1.36.0 (Jul 7, 2026). The Bantam takes no attachments (Oct 9, 2026). Tier II mods need Gunsmith II and tier III mods Gunsmith III per PCGamesN (May 7, 2026). Blueprints are on Blueprints, and materials on Materials.

How ammo has changed

Heavy Ammo: stack raised from 40 to 60 (update 1.26.0, Apr 28, 2026).
Energy Clips: craftable by default at the Workbench since Feb 24, 2026; sell price cut from 1,000 to 200 Coins on Mar 17, 2026 because crafting them had become too profitable; daily purchase limit since Oct 8, 2026.
Launcher Ammo: update 1.3.0 (Nov 20, 2025) set buying at 6 for 4,500 Coins (was 10 for 6,000), selling at 250, and the craft above at the Workbench with no blueprint; a daily purchase limit came on Oct 8, 2026, and the Rocketeer has dropped it since 1.33.0 (Jun 16, 2026) instead of Heavy Ammo.

Selling crafted ammo is covered on Money Making Guide. No Embark post read here changes the Light, Medium or Shotgun figures above after Mar 25, 2026.
