All the top players in ARC Raiders are focused on the Aphelion, a new battle rifle that’s incredibly effective against ARC enemies. This powerful burst rifle delivers high damage with exceptional accuracy, and boasts a classic look. It’s currently the most popular and desired weapon in the game.
Getting the APHELION rifle in ARC Raiders takes a bit of work. First, you’ll need to find the Aphelion Blueprint, and it won’t be simple!
How to Find Aphelion Blueprint in ARC Raiders
The recent 1.3 update to ARC Raiders made it much easier to find the blueprint for the powerful Aphelion weapon, and players quickly started crafting it.
The blueprint was added with the North Line update last week, but it was very rare. Now, the chances of getting it have been significantly improved.
To get the Aphelion Blueprint, your best bet is to defeat MATRIARCH enemies. This powerful new boss is currently the only reliable source for the blueprint in ARC Raiders. It’s a rare drop – most players think only two or three will appear in each destroyed Matriarch structure, so act quickly!
Okay, so I finally got the Aphelion Blueprint! Now the tricky part – I need to get it back to my Raider Den without messing it up, so I can actually study it and put what I learn to use.
How to Craft Aphelion Rifle
To build the APHELION rifle, you’ll need to fully upgrade your Gunsmith bench to Level 3. Reaching this maximum level is significantly more challenging than upgrading most other workbenches.
To build it, you’ll need three Magnetic Accelerators, three Complex Gun Parts, and one Matriarch Reactor. It’s a tough build, requiring a lot of resources, but the effort pays off in ARC Raiders.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Aphelion:
- Ammo Type: Energy Clip
- Base Magazine Size: 10
- Firing Mode: 2-Round Burst
- ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
- Special Trait: Experimental
This option offers excellent stability and can hit targets from a long distance. It’s reasonably nimble and deals a good amount of damage, but it shoots slowly and is very easy to detect.
