Where to find Fried Motherboard in Arc Raiders

Where to find Fried Motherboard in Arc Raiders 1

The fried motherboard sells for 2,000 coins and can be recycled into five plastic parts and two electrical components. Its description says it can be available in technical locations. There are many such locations on all maps, so load up a match and get to them. What you are looking for is either breakable metal boxes or switchboards. Inside you will find the Fried Motherboards you need for the station upgrade.

Despite the information indicating technical locations, you can still find them anywhere if there is an electrical circuit board, e.g. Power generation complex in Women's Battlegrounds. The best farming map for these items is the Spaceport map. The entire map is a tech hub, so you should have no problem extracting with several of these.

You can also find Power Rods in these electrical panels that you can use in the room inside the Power Generation Complex. There are many lockers inside with good rarity loot, especially i Night tree, Electromagnetic stormsor Cold Snap map conditions, so check them out.

You can try loading into a map with a free load, and if you spawn near one of the tech buildings at the start of the round, then you can visit them and search through the breakable boards. If you play late or far away from the locations, they will probably already be lootedso you should just give up. Try another run hoping you spawn in a better location and with a better weapon to deal with the ARC.
