Easiest Way to Get Rocketeer Driver in ARC Raiders

The Rocketeer Driver is an essential upgrade material required to push your Explosives Station from level 2 to level 3 in ARC Raiders. You’ll need a total of three Rocketeer Drivers, and the most reliable way to gather them is during the Husk Graveyard event. This event lets you safely breach Rocketeer Husks without engaging the live enemies, making the entire farming process far easier.

Why You Need Rocketeer Drivers

Rocketeer Drivers play a crucial role in improving your Explosives Station, allowing you to unlock stronger explosives, new crafting recipes, and overall better firepower. To advance your station from level 2 to level 3, three Rocketeer Drivers are required.

Hunting real Rocketeers can be extremely challenging thanks to their high burst damage and rare spawns — especially if you’re running solo. Fortunately, the Husk Graveyard event provides a much more accessible and low-risk way to obtain the Rocketeer Drivers you need without dealing with live ARC units.

Step 1: Wait for the Husk Graveyard Event

The Husk Graveyard event is by far the most efficient method for collecting Rocketeer Drivers. When the event is active, destroyed ARC units called Husks appear throughout the map and can be breached for valuable components.

You can easily keep track of when the event goes live using MetaForge ARC Raiders Event Timers. It most often appears in Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate. For the highest success rates, Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport are the recommended locations.

This approach also helps you gather other driver types like the Wasp Driver and Hornet Driver, making it a convenient option for multipurpose farming.

Step 2: Locate Rocketeer Husks on the Map

Once the event begins, jump into either Dam Battlegrounds or Spaceport and start your route. You’ll encounter Rocketeer Husks — large destroyed ARC machines lying across the terrain — ready to be breached.

Dam Battlegrounds: Head into the Swamp region and move toward the Old Battleground area. You’ll find several ARC Rocketeer Husks here, along with various other Husks you can salvage.

Spaceport (Recommended): The southern section of the map consistently spawns multiple Rocketeer Husks. Running this area three times provided more than enough Rocketeer Drivers for both me and a friend.

Approach a Husk and interact with it to breach the top. During the Husk Graveyard event, breaching can cause a brief electric shock that stuns you for a couple of seconds, but it causes no damage, so it’s completely safe.

Continue following your path until you’ve checked multiple Husk locations. If you’re unsure where to go next, consult our Gamer Choice Interactive ARC Raiders Map for the best Rocketeer Husk spawn locations.

Step 3: Loot and Secure the Rocketeer Drivers

After breaching a Husk, search the internal storage to find its components. This is where Rocketeer Drivers can drop — though the drop rate isn’t guaranteed, so you may need to open several Husks before securing all three.

As soon as you obtain a Rocketeer Driver, place it inside your Safe Pocket. This prevents loss if you die to ARC units or enemy Raiders during the event.

Once you’ve cleared your route or stopped finding additional Husks, extract safely and begin another run. With some persistence, you can fully farm all three Rocketeer Drivers in just two event cycles, along with extra ARC parts and additional XP.

Step 4: Upgrade Your Explosives Station

When you’ve gathered all three Rocketeer Drivers, return to Speranza and use them to upgrade your Explosives Station to level 3. This upgrade opens access to stronger explosives, improved crafting recipes, and better tools for taking on tougher ARC threats as you progress through ARC Raiders.
