Best ways to get Fried Motherboards in ARC Raiders
Fried Motherboard (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Embark Studios)Fried Motherboard in ARC Raiders falls under the Technological tag. Hence, the best choice will be to go to the areas that have the aforementioned tag. Fortunately, every map in this extraction shooter title features at least one zone that features the Technological tag. Moreover, keep in mind that heading to these locations won’t guarantee you this blue resource.
Because of that, we recommend going to maps that feature multiple areas with the Technological tag. When you are in those zones, look for breachable server blocks. After prying open one, there is a good chance of you getting a motherboard. While you can also get this resource from other containers, these server blocks have the highest drop rates.
Here are some areas you can go to find some Fried Motherboards in ARC Raiders:

- Medical Research

Among all, you’ll have a good shot at finding some motherboards in areas such as Assembly, Assembly Workshops, Medical Research, Security Wing, and Communications. Since fighting ARCs is optional in maps like Stella Montis, you can keep using free loadouts to farm the amount you want.
If you already have some in your inventory, save 3x as you’ll need them to upgrade the Utility Station to Level 3. Besides that, you can recycle this blue resource in Raider Den for materials such as 5x Plastic Parts and 2x Electrical Components. If you are on topside, salvaging one will grant you 5x Wires.
