Energy cuts explained
IN ARC RaidersEnergy Clips are a type of rare ammunition used to charge legendary weapons such as Jupiter and Equalizer. Each stack of Energy Clips holds up to five rounds, but you only need to consume one to fully charge the magazine, regardless of capacity.
As a rare resource type, Energy Clips are not something you come across often in Topside. That said, there are still some reliable methods of crafting or acquiring them, as explained below.
How to create energy clamps
To create energy clips on your workbench, you must consume and learn the Equalizer blueprint. After unlocking this legendary weapon, the Energy Clip formula will be added ARC Raiders' Workbench automatically.
Creating a stack of five energy clips requires two batteries and an advanced ARC Powercell. Both of these materials are fairly easy to grow in ARC Raiders' Dam Battlegrounds map.
How to get the Energy Clip Blueprint
There is no specific plan for energy cuts. Currently, the only method to unlock them is to use the Equalizer blueprint. Some may think that learning the Jupiter drawing unlocks the formula as well, but that is not the case. It's only unlocked with Equalizer, not Jupiter.

How to get energy clips without tinkering
You don't need the Equalizer blueprint to get Energy Clips. A solid way to farm this ammo type is through completions ARC Raiders' Harvest event. These limited time activities allow players to enter a location where there is usually an abundance of energy clips.
Since more players are now considering farming energy clips, you may find it harder to find them in the harvester, especially if other raiders have already cleared the area.
Best way to use energy clips
There is currently a money loophole ARC Raiders which allows players to make impressive amounts of coins by creating and selling energy clips. If you need some cash, the best way to use this ammo type is to sell it for 5000 coins per full stack or 1000 per round.
If money is not an issue, you should just use Energy Clips. Weapons like Equalizer are great for breaking ARC's shield and turning them into some of the best PvE options. By crafting or collecting lots of energy clips, you can start taking down bigger enemies faster and farm a good amount of epic and legendary items.
