What Is the Speaker Component?

The Speaker Component is a rare item in ARC Raiders, primarily used in crafting various tools and items. It's a key ingredient in creating the Lure Grenade, Noisemaker, and Photoelectric Cloak, all of which are useful for different gameplay situations. Whether you’re trying to distract enemies or add to your stealth capabilities, this component plays an important role in your crafting recipes.

Where Can I Find Speaker Components?

Finding Speaker Components isn’t as straightforward as grabbing random loot. You’ll need to search in specific areas, and your best chances are in certain regions of the game. Here's where you can typically get them:

1. Commercial Areas

The Speaker Component is commonly found in commercial zones. These areas are known for their scavenging opportunities, where you can find items by looting containers, crates, and other resources. If you spend time exploring the commercial zones, especially ones with tech and electrical-related items, you should start coming across the Speaker Component with more regularity.

2. Scavenging

You can also scavenge for Speaker Components by going through scrap piles or taking apart electronic devices. Many of these components can be found while scavenging in the game, so make sure you have a good look at every pile or object that you can interact with.

3. Recycling

Another method to acquire the Speaker Component is through recycling. If you already have a few electronics or items like headphones, radios, or even other crafted grenades, you can break them down and sometimes get Speaker Components as part of the recycling process. Keep an eye out for items that are easily recyclable for a chance to obtain this rare material.

4. Buy from Celeste

If you're short on time or just don’t want to grind for it, you can purchase the Speaker Component from Celeste, the NPC vendor. However, this route is often more expensive, so if you have the time to find it yourself, you might want to stick to scavenging or recycling.

Can I Sell Speaker Components?

If you find yourself with an excess of Speaker Components, you may want to sell them to other players or vendors. The in-game economy allows for selling items like this to NPCs for coins, and it can be useful if you're low on other materials or just want to make a quick profit.

If you want a more direct way to cash in on these components, you can always choose to sell ARC Raiders items for cash on U4N. This is a great way to make some real-world money if you’ve accumulated extra resources and materials over time.

How Do I Use the Speaker Component in Crafting?

The Speaker Component is involved in several crafting recipes in ARC Raiders. Here are some of the main items you can craft with it:

1. Lure Grenade

• Ingredients: 1 Speaker Component + 1 Electrical Components

• Station: Utility Station 2

• The Lure Grenade is a distraction tool that can be useful in combat or evasion situations. It draws enemy attention away from your location, giving you a chance to slip by undetected or escape from a tight situation.

2. Noisemaker

• Ingredients: 1 Speaker Component + 2 Plastic Parts

• Station: Inventory (with Traveling Tinkerer skill)

• The Noisemaker is another distraction tool, but it’s designed to create noise that can attract enemies. You might use this to lure enemies into traps or away from objectives you need to complete.

3. Photoelectric Cloak

• Ingredients: 4 Speaker Components + 2 Advanced Electrical Components

• Station: Utility Station 3

• The Photoelectric Cloak is a high-level crafting item that gives you the ability to cloak yourself, making it harder for enemies to detect you. This item is crucial for stealth missions or evading large groups of enemies.

Can I Recycle or Salvage Speaker Components?

If you have too many Speaker Components or want to get rid of them in exchange for other materials, recycling is an option. When you recycle Speaker Components, you'll get:

• Recycling Results:

  • 2 Plastic Parts

  • 3 Rubber Parts

This is useful if you need basic crafting materials and don’t want to waste the components. Alternatively, you can salvage them to get:

• Salvaging Results:

  • 2 Plastic Parts

While the salvage option is less rewarding than recycling, it still gives you some useful parts for basic crafting and repairs.

What Items Can Be Recycled Into Speaker Components?

If you're looking to recycle other items into Speaker Components, here’s a list of common items you can break down:

• Frequency Modulation Box – 1 Speaker Component

• Headphones – 1 Speaker Component

• Lure Grenade – 1 Speaker Component

• Noisemaker – 1 Speaker Component

• Photoelectric Cloak – 1 Speaker Component

• Radio – 1 Speaker Component

• Radio Relay – 2 Speaker Components

By recycling items that are no longer useful to you, you can convert them into valuable resources like Speaker Components.

Should I Keep or Sell Speaker Components?

Whether you choose to keep or sell your Speaker Components depends on your playstyle and current needs. If you’re deep into crafting and need to upgrade or make new tools, keeping them for crafting is your best bet. However, if you're looking for a quick influx of cash or resources, selling them can be a good move.

Keep in mind that you can always sell ARC Raiders items for cash on U4N if you're looking to get more out of your excess materials.

The Speaker Component is a useful, rare item in ARC Raiders that’s essential for several crafting recipes. You can find it in commercial areas, scavenge for it, or even recycle older items to get your hands on it.
