Most ARC Raiders players are making one critical mistake with the new trader system: spending valuable ARC resources on items that don't actually require them. In this guide, I break down the most efficient way to farm trader value, unlock blueprints, expand your stash, and progress your expedition vaults without doubling your grind. After a week of testing different routes, farming methods, and crafting options, I've found a clear winner when it comes to both resource farming and weapon trading. In this video you'll learn: ✅ How to separate ARC-only trader purchases from weapon trade purchases ✅ Why you should never spend ARC resources on blueprints if you can avoid it ✅ The most efficient farming route for Wires, Steel Springs, and Gun Parts ✅ Why the Bastion is currently the best farming target in the game ✅ The best weapon to craft for trader value ✅ Why the Osprey outperforms other weapon trade options ✅ How many raids you need for 100k, 150k, 200k, and 500k trader purchases Whether you're trying to unlock blueprints, stash expansions, vault upgrades, outfits, or other high-value trader rewards, this guide will help you maximize every resource and dramatically reduce the amount of farming required. Let me know in the comments what trader items you're currently saving for and whether you've found any routes that compete with Bastion farming. #arcraiders #arcraidersguide #arcraiderstips
