Arc Raiders players going for the Trophy Display project often find themselves slowed down at stage four, where ten units of Arc Synthetic Resin are required to move forward and unlock the Bobcat IV vehicle upgrade. It's a rare, blue-quality recyclable material that doesn't show up in normal loot containers or civilian areas. Instead, it's tied entirely to ARC machines, which means you have to put yourself in danger to get it. Added in the Headwinds update, the resin is light and valuable enough that many players are tempted to recycle it for plastic parts, but doing that too early can stall your progression in a big way ARC Raiders Items.

The only reliable way to get Arc Synthetic Resin is by killing ARC enemies and looting their remains. Smaller machines like Wasps, Hornets, Snitches, and Turrets are the easiest targets and can be farmed fairly safely, especially when they spawn in groups. Each individual enemy has a low chance to drop resin, but over time the drops add up if you focus on volume. Larger ARC units are where the real gains come from. Enemies like Shredders, Leapers, Sentinels, Matriarchs, and Queens are much tougher to fight, but they drop resin far more often and sometimes in multiples. Barons and their Husks are especially consistent sources and tend to patrol predictable routes in areas like Spaceport, Blue Gate, and the Dam, making them popular farming targets.

Some locations make the grind much easier. The Seed Vault in Stella Montis is a favorite because it contains several fixed turret spawns that can be cleared quickly. Once they're down, you can redeploy to reset the area and repeat the process, often pulling in several resin units in a short amount of time. The nearby Sandbox can add extra ARC encounters if you want to stretch the run. Electromagnetic Storms are another big opportunity. After a storm, the surface is often littered with disabled ARC probes, couriers, and even Baron wrecks. These husks can be looted without fighting, letting you collect resin with much less risk than usual if you're careful.

Playing in a squad helps a lot, but only if everyone's on the same page. Let your teammates know you're farming resin so ARC enemies become the priority instead of rushing for human loot. Coordinated fights against elite machines speed things up dramatically. Solo players should be more selective, using lighter weapons to deal with turrets and Snitches and saving heavier firepower for larger threats. Inventory management matters too, since resin stacks are small. Bringing recycler tools can help if you're forced to process items mid-run, though it's best to avoid recycling resin unless you absolutely have to.

Once you've gathered all ten units, bringing them back to the Trophy Display terminal unlocks the Dominant Dangers step and rewards you with the Bobcat IV upgrade. That upgrade makes hauling future trophies much easier thanks to improved speed and storage. This stage sits right in the middle of the Trophy Display progression, tougher than early material checks but not as brutal as later requirements involving high-end ARC components. While Arc Synthetic Resin can be recycled into plastic parts, it's usually a bad trade at this point unless you're completely blocked elsewhere.

Veteran players often combine resin farming with storms, Trials, and Expeditions that boost ARC spawns, turning dangerous runs into efficient loops. Routes through Stella Montis or Baron-heavy patrol zones at Blue Gate are especially popular, and during storms it's possible to gather all ten units in just a couple of redeploys. Trading for resin is possible, but prices are usually inflated because of its rarity, so self-farming is almost always the better long-term option rsvsr ARC Raiders Coins.

Arc Synthetic Resin is meant to test how comfortable you are dealing with ARC threats. Once you learn where they spawn and when to push during storms or events, the grind feels much more manageable. With smart routing and a bit of patience, you'll clear the Trophy Display hurdle, unlock the Bobcat IV, and be better prepared for the even tougher challenges waiting later in Arc Raiders.
