ARC Raiders: How to Get Surge Coil Blueprint and Craft It

Surge Coil is the new deployable device in ARC Raiders, added with the recent Flashpoint update. It is similar to the Jolt Mine, but more effective due to its big radius and capability to stun ARCs and Raiders. With the recent changes of Shredders being put in all the maps, the Surge Coil is the perfect way to counter the Shredder and evade. The Surge Coil sends out an electric pulse that periodically stuns anything in the radius. It is a great utility item, and to get it, you will first have to get its blueprint and craft it at the Explosives Station. In this guide, we will tell you how to get the Surge Coil Blueprint and craft it in ARC Raiders.

How to Get the Surge Coil Blueprint in ARC Raiders

The Surge Coil is one of the three new Blueprints added in the Flashpoint update. To get the Surge Coil Blueprint, you must loot all the containers during the Electromagnetic Storm map condition. There is no specific location or spawn rate for the Surge Coil, but if you loot every container during the Electromagnetic Storm event, there is a high chance you will find it. Loot every breachable, locker, drawer, explosive container, and so on to have a high chance of finding the Surge Coil Blueprint.

The Electromagnetic Storm is available on three maps, including Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate. Check the Topside map to see if the EM Storm event is active, and then deploy into it to start looking for the Surge Coil Blueprints. I recommend going with a low kit with at least 1 safe pocket. Alternatively, you can go with nothing in the kit. This way, you will still have 1 safe pocket slot where you can store the blueprint.

The Free Kit strategy is not recommended, as you will be joining late in the raid, which lowers the chances of finding the blueprint.

How to Craft the Surge Coil in ARC Raiders

Crafting the Surge Coil requires the Explosives Station Level 3 (Workbench), and the following materials.

• 1x Electrical Components
• 1x Sensors
• 1x Hornet Driver

All of these materials are easy to find, and you can craft the Electrical Components and Sensors at the Refiner (workbench). Moreover, you can also purchase them from Celeste in exchange for Seeds. Lastly, Hornet is a common ARC that you can find on any map.

The Surge Coil has a radius of 10m, and you can have up to 3 in a stash. It is the perfect utility item for both PvE and PvP enjoyers to counter the enemies. Last but not least, 1 Surge Coil sells for 2,100 Coins.
