Where to Find Fireball ARCs in Arc Raiders
These are small, spherical metal robots which deal significant fire damage to players that get too close. The ARC enemies are distinct from their electric counterparts, Pops, which is slightly smaller in size. Also, it features a blue scanner at the front which is usually found inside buildings rather than in open areas.
When searching for Fireball Burner, here are the best areas where you can find them:

| Control Tower | Frequently spawn Fireballs in their tight hallways and rooms. |
| Research & Administration | |
| Water Treatment | Serves as a reliable location where these enemies appear regularly. |
| Hydroponic Dome Complex | Provides high-quality loot in the area meaning you’re likely to run into other players. |
| Spaceport | Features Fireballs near Fight Control and Control Tower B6. |
| Buried City | Also spawn enemies particularly in the northern section around Galleria and Hospital location. |
How to Defeat Fireball ARCs
You have to be wary of the timing during engagement against Fireball ARCs. These enemies have a protective shell which makes it difficult to damage under normal circumstances. So, here are some tips to defeat Fireball ARCs:
- What for the Fireball to approach first and prepare for its attack sequence.
- It will expose its core and reveal a vulnerable weak point when it begins to detonate.
- High-powered weapons such as Ferro or Anvil are ideal to instantly destroy Fireballs after exposing the core.
- Once defeated, quickly loot the debris so you can collect the Fireball Burner before other players arrive.
- Also, each Fireball typically drops one burner so you may need to hunt multiple enemies.
How to Use the Fireball Burner
After collecting the Fireball Burner, you can start using it to your own advantage. It is completely easy to use this item after obtaining it by following these steps:
- Drag the Fireball Burner from your inventory to a quick item slot for easy access during combat.
- It functions similarly to a throwable grenade but creates a Molotov-style fire effect upon contact.
- Get the final killing blow on an ARC enemy using the burner to complete quests like “What Goes Around.”
- Target low-health ARC enemies like Pops or Ticks.
- Weaken them first with your primary weapon then reduce their health to critical levels.
- Once they’re nearly defeated, you can throw the Fireball Burner using your fire button.
- The burning effect will finish off the ARC and complete your quest objective.
- However, keep in mind that a single burner won’t kill a full-health enemy.
Quest Rewards and Additional Uses
To complete the quest “What Goes Around,” you have to destroy an ARC with a Fireball Burner to earn rewards. Afterward, you’ll receive the exclusive Junior outfit which is among the few cosmetic sets you’ll get in early-game. Additionally, you’ll earn throwable items like Blaze Grenade, Blue Light Stick, and Noisemaker by completing the quest.
Make sure to return to Apollo once you’ve eliminated your target to claim these rewards. Beyond the quest completion, these burners are used to upgrade your Refiner to level two. However, the burners aren’t classified as traditional grenades but rather as uncommon recyclable materials.
