Synthesized Fuel is one of the most useful resources available in ARC Raiders, serving not only for crafting but also as an improvised explosive whenever thrown and shot at. Its main usage is in crafting explosives, Workshop upgrades, and various equipment blueprints, making this resource quite vital for any Raider to stay well-stocked and ready for combat.
Here is every reliable method to find synthesized fuel, purchase it from traders, or even recycle it from other items.
Where to Find Synthesized Fuel in ARC Raiders

Synthesized Fuel is an Exodus resource, which means that it’s most likely to appear in areas marked with Exodus loot categories. Yes, it may technically drop anywhere, but certain locations provide way better chances.
Best Farming Location — Rocket Assembly (Spaceport)

The most consistent way of finding Synthesized Fuel in ARC Raiders is by exploring the Rocket Assembly area on the Spaceport map.
This location is situated in the eastern part of the map, so depending on where you drop into the game, you may have a bit of travel ahead of you. Once you’ve reached the area, look for long transport vehicles scattered across the assembly yard.
- The transports usually have breachable hatches on one or both sides.
- Inside, you can loot containers and barrels that have a high chance to contain Synthesized Fuel.
Although similar transport vehicles can be found on other maps – for instance, Dam Battlegrounds – the drop rate for Synthesized Fuel is so low that you’re better off trying your luck at Spaceport.
Buying synthesized fuel from Celeste

You can skip the grind for loot and buy Synthesized Fuel directly from Celeste, the main Trader in ARC Raiders, if you prefer.
- Cost: 14 Assorted Seeds per Synthesized Fuel
- Limit: 3 units per restock cycle
While her stock is a bit limited, it is a good way of topping up your crafting material supply for when time and/or luck are against you. Her inventory refreshes periodically, so check back after each cycle.
Items for Recycled Synthesized Fuel

You can also dismantle some items to recover the Synthesized Fuel. The most effective things to break down include:
- Wolfpack Grenades
- Rocket Thrusters
Recycling these guarantees Synthesized Fuel returns, but it’s not always worth it. Wolfpack grenades, in particular, are too valuable to destroy unless you have extras lying around. If your inventory is overflowing, though, recycling is a good fallback option.
| Procedure | Location / Source | Notes |
| Farming | Rocket Assembly | Best drop rate from transport vehicles |
| Buying | Celeste (Trader) | Buy 14 Assorted Seeds each, 3 per refresh |
| Recycling | Wolfpack Grenades / Rocket Thrusters | Guaranteed drop, but it is not resource-efficient |
