Deadly ARCs are a staple in ARC Raiders, and to obtain Bombardier Cells, you need to tussle with one of the most dangerous ones: the Bombardiers. While these ARCs can spawn anywhere, there are a few locations that have a higher spawn rate, offering a chance to collect more Bombardier Cells. So, here’s how you can easily find this Epic-rarity item in ARC Raiders.
Best Spot to Find Bombardier Cells in ARC Raiders

Bombardier Cells are obtained from Bombardiers in ARC Raiders, who have the highest chance to spawn on the Buried City map, between the Town Hall and the Library, around Marano Park. Here, you’ll find plenty of Bombardiers to farm this Epic-tier item.
Alternatively, you can also find Bombardiers around Plaza Rosa, at Raider’s Refuge on Blue Gate, and in the area between Fuel Processing and Fuel Lines on Spaceport, during the Hidden Bunker map modifier. Frankly, this terrifying ARC can spawn anywhere around the map, but you have a near-guaranteed chance to find them in the above-mentioned areas.
With the locations within your grasp, it’s time to take a look at how to defeat the Bombardiers to obtain the precious Bombardier Cells. Weapons like Hullcracker or Anvil can easily crack their shields and target their weak points: the rear cylinder and the yellow joints.
If you’re someone who prefers a more strategic approach, one that involves throwables, use four Trailblazers to take them out instantly. When the Bombardier becomes aware of your presence, you can use Lure Grenades to distract it and shoot at its weak points.
Watch out for the Spotter drones that spawn with the Bombardier, which expose your location and accurately fire the mortar shells, one-shotting you within seconds. So, take out the Spotter drones first, then target the Bombardier. This ARC becomes vulnerable after firing its mortar shells, so use that window to destroy it once and for all.
With the Bombardier down, you can loot its body to obtain Bombardier Cells or other valuable items like the following:
ARC Alloy
ARC Powercell
ARC Performance Steel
Advanced ARC Powercell
Mechanical Components
Heavy Gun Parts
Launcher Ammo
Night Raids are also a great time to check for Bombardiers and, with them, Bombardier Cells, since this map modifier increases loot along with the ARC presence, thereby increasing both risk and reward.
You might not obtain a Bombardier Cell every time, but you’ll eventually find yourself having it in abundance. As soon as you get them, ensure that you put them in your Safe Pockets to secure them, even if you face death before a successful extraction.
Where to Use Bombardier Cells in ARC Raiders?

Bombardier Cells have two primary uses: to upgrade the Refiner to Level 3, and to recycle it to obtain more crafting components. To upgrade the Refiner Workshop Station to Level 3, here are all the materials you need:
6x Bombardier Cell
10x ARC Circuitry
3x Motor
With the Refiner upgraded to its max level, you can craft Epic-tier items like Magnetic Accelerators, Power Rods, Advanced Electrical and Mechanical Components, and more. Moving on to the Bombardier Cell’s second use, you can recycle it to obtain 2x Advanced Mechanical Components and 2x ARC Alloy.
If you find your storage flooding with these Cells, you can sell them for 5,000 Coins each or keep them and wait for any future upgrades. There’s always a use for every material in ARC Raiders, so holding onto them might pay off in the long run. However, if you need some Coins, sell them to earn some.
