 Furthermore, these guns can be upgraded to be more efficient to use in the game, and we've compiled an entire guide to upgrading workbenches and weapons in Arc Raiders. For more details, refer to our Arc Raiders quest list and starter suggestions.

 Ferro

 The Ferro is among the most effective weapons for beginners in Arc Raiders. Single-shot battlers are a common weapon which can be found easily or designed when just starting out in the game. Ferro makes up for its slow firing speed and reloading speed with its precision, its long-range damage and its ability penetrate ARC armor. This gun is an excellent pick for fights against robot and human adversaries alike and as long as you are able to hit your targets.

 Rattler

 This is another excellent starter weapon for Arc Raiders. This common rarity weapon pairs well with the Ferro battle rifle previously mentioned because it is an auto-only gun that provides you a good balance in combat. The Rattler is pretty well-rounded in regards to damage, range, and handling. Its modest armor penetration as well as high fire rate make it a decent option for Arc enemies, but is a better option to use it in PvP.

 Even though the capacity for magazines of a fully-automatic firearm is tiny, it's still a good size. The gun allows you to improve your accuracy as well as save bullets by allowing you tap the trigger in short bursts rather than spraying an whole magazine of ammunition. The ammo capacity will increase as you advance the Rattler.

 Anvil

 The Anvil pistol is rare (blue) rare rarity. It is a mighty hand cannon and is perfect for almost all engagements. This is a powerful single-shot weapon which can be used against ARC or raiders. It doesn't have the capability to travel long distances as the Ferro. It's easy to build or buy the Anvil because it's rare.

 Anvil Splitter is a unique modification to the Anvil. This attachment is a world-renowned uncommon feature and lets you shoot up to three projectiles at once in one shot, is incredibly rare. This mod could make the Anvil appear more like a sawed off shotgun with an even spread of pellets however, it may decrease your accuracy when firing at long distances.

 Bettina

 The Bettina has a unique rarity. The Bettina is a formidable assault rifle with an incredible amount of armor penetration. It is best used to take on Arc enemies. It is not without its fair share of recoil, but using burst firing this gun can allow you to fight robots with a reasonable range.
