What is the Industrial Battery?

The Industrial Battery is a rare item in Arc Raiders that is used primarily for upgrading your Gear Bench. While it’s useful for crafting and upgrades, it can also be recycled into materials like Chemicals and Batteries. This makes it a versatile resource in the game, even if you don’t need it immediately for upgrades.

How Do You Use Industrial Batteries?

You’ll primarily use Industrial Batteries in the Gear Bench upgrades. For example, to upgrade from Gear Bench 2 to Gear Bench 3, you'll need 3 Industrial Batteries, along with other materials like Advanced Electrical Components and Bastion Cells. If you're focusing on progressing through the workshop upgrades, gathering a good supply of these can be crucial.

Additionally, you can recycle or salvage Industrial Batteries for various crafting materials. Recycling them gives you Chemicals and Batteries, which are useful in crafting other items. Salvaging them directly nets you Batteries, which is another handy resource for crafting.

Where Can You Find Industrial Batteries?

Finding Industrial Batteries can take a little patience and exploration, as they aren’t something you can just pick up anywhere. Here’s a rundown of the best places to search for them:

  1. Dam Battlegrounds – Hydroponic Dome Complex This is one of the prime locations for finding Industrial Batteries. It’s a complex area, but with persistence and a little scavenging, you should be able to gather a few.

  2. Dam Battlegrounds – Power Generation Complex Another location within the Dam Battlegrounds, this area has shelves and carts where you can find Industrial Batteries. These locations are typically more industrial in nature, making them ideal spots for this type of item.

  3. Car Hood Yes, you can find some in the hoods of cars scattered around the world. This might not seem like the most obvious place to find an industrial item, but scavenging car hoods can yield an unexpected amount of valuable resources.

Can You Buy Industrial Batteries?

While the game doesn’t typically allow players to buy specific crafting items like the Industrial Battery directly from vendors, you can buy Equalizer blueprints and other important crafting components that may aid you in finding or upgrading the gear that requires Industrial Batteries. If you're struggling to find enough Industrial Batteries, upgrading your gear might unlock new areas where you can find more.

How to Maximize Industrial Battery Usage

  • Upgrade Your Gear Bench: The most straightforward use of Industrial Batteries is for upgrading your Gear Bench. Once you’ve gathered the required number of Industrial Batteries, use them to unlock new crafting options and improve your gear.

  • Recycle for Materials: If you find yourself with more Industrial Batteries than you can use, don’t throw them away. Recycle them into Chemicals and Batteries, which are both valuable materials for crafting other items.

  • Salvage for Batteries: If you're running low on Batteries, salvaging Industrial Batteries can be a great way to replenish your stock.

The Industrial Battery is a resource you’ll need throughout your journey in Arc Raiders. Whether you’re upgrading your workshop or crafting new gear, having a solid supply of Industrial Batteries will be essential. To make the most out of them, focus on scavenging in the right areas and keep an eye on those car hoods and industrial locations. And, if you're looking to progress faster, remember to buy Equalizer blueprints to help with upgrading your gear.
