The Rattler assault rifle in Arc Raiders is a staple gun for veterans and newcomers alike. Its consistency and straightforward upgrade tree make it the ideal gun for early to mid-game combat. This guide outlines everything you need to know about itfrom where to find it to how to unlock and upgrade it effectively. Rattler Assault Rifle Details The Rattler uses medium ammo and fires in full-auto mode. It offers: Damage per hit: 9 Firing rate: 33.3 rounds/sec Range: 56.2 meters This rifle is known for its excellent mid-range effectiveness and is capable of crowd control, despite having to reload two bullets at a time. Compared to other mid-tier rifles, the Rattlers fire rate and ease of finding upgrades make it a very handy weapon for general raid activities and PvP encounters. Although limited by its magazine capacity of just two rounds, its accessibility makes it a solid choice for beginners looking to enhance their gameplay experience. Looting the Rattler: Best Locations The Rattler can drop from general weapon crates and high-value loot rooms. Locations that are particularly rich in potential drops include buildings with multiple entry points and "secret loot rooms" (often with ladders and rooftop holes) that frequently spawn Raider caches. A player venturing through the Dam Battlegrounds map should focus on eastern sectors and red tower buildings, as well as the Hydroponic Dome Complex, to uncover these hidden stashes. The unique sounds that signal cache proximity can provide advantageous clues while exploring. Although the Rattler can be found in other maps, the chances of successfully acquiring one are notably higher on the Dam Battlegrounds. How to Unlock and Use Rattler Blueprints Blueprints for the Rattler can be found in loot rooms, as trial rewards, or occasionally as items from quests. Once you've secured a Rattler blueprint, it can be utilized by following these steps: Head to your bases Gunsmith bench. Select the blueprint and choose Learn and Consume. This action will render the Rattler craftable for your account. Blueprints can also be sold if multiple copies are acquired, although retaining them is advisable as they unlock important crafting recipes for the weapon's improvements. How to Craft, Upgrade, and Mod the Rattler Crafting the Rattler requires gathering various materials, including Mechanical Components and Medium Gun Parts, by looting or breaking down gear obtained during raids. At the Gunsmith Workshop (Level 1 required), you can select the Rattler from the assault rifle category and provide the necessary materials based on the recipe. Upon confirming the craft, a new Rattler will be added to your inventory. To enhance the Rattler, players must reach higher levels of the Gunsmith Workshop for more advanced upgrades, using components such as Metal Parts, Rubber Parts, and Gun Parts, transitioning from Rattler I to IV. Each upgrade significantly boosts durability, reload speed, and overall effectiveness. Prioritizing these improvements is crucial for players reliant on the weapon for longer, more perilous missions. In addition, modifying the Rattler with standard rifle attachments such as grips, sights, or magazine extensions can enhance accuracy and ammunition capacity as you reach higher Gunsmith levels. Materials used for crafting mods can be found in raids or purchased from your home base vendor.
