Buried City Stands Out for Farming Arc Raiders Fireballs and Rare Burner Drops

New guides flag map-specific spawn variance that helps players secure Fireball Burners for quest objectives or ARC Alloy recycling.

Overview

  • Fireballs are fast, rolling ARC units that attack with flame or rush to explode, and they are most often encountered indoors.
  • Multiple guides report frequent Fireball spawns on Buried City, with additional reliable indoor spots on Dam Battlegrounds such as Control Tower, Research & Administration, Hydroponic Dome Complex, Water Treatment, and the Testing Annex, plus select Spaceport buildings.
  • Fireball Burners drop only from Fireballs and are not guaranteed, making them an RNG-dependent resource despite their quest importance.
  • Players use Burners to finish enemies for quests like What Goes Around, or recycle them into ARC Alloy for crafting when no objective requires them.
  • For safe, efficient kills, lure a Fireball into open space, wait for its shell to open to expose the core, then hit it with a high-damage weapon such as a Ferro; use Burners to finish low-health ARC units like Pops or Ticks for reliable quest credit.
