ARK Raiders filled to the brim with various items, tools and weapons that can be found in a post-apocalyptic world.

But some of them are just mysterious and have no clear purpose, or are very difficult to obtain, and that's how we might describe them. Fireball Burners. These mysterious pieces of equipment can only be found on a specific enemy, which is itself quite elusive.

So, here's how you can find fireballs and fireball burners in ARK Raidersand how to use them.

How to Find Fireballs and Fireball Burners

Before you can use them, you first need to purchase Fireball Burners, which is much easier said than done. This item only drops from fireballsa special type of ARC that appears on many of the game's maps and is very difficult to deal with.

IN Dam battlefields, Fireballs tend to appear inside large complexes.for example, the Test Application in the far eastern part of the map. They can appear anywhere and will immediately attack you, or rush at you and explode in your face, or burn you to ashes.

Killing Fireball gives you a Fireball Burner.a unique item tied only to this enemy. Fireball Burners are not a guaranteed fallso you'll be relying on RNG to get that rare item from an even rarer enemy.

On Buried CityI noticed fireballs much more often, noticing them in several places on the map. They seem to be more common on this map than Dam Battlegrounds, so if you're looking for fireball burners, this is the level you should queue for.

Fireball Burners has several very specific goals, most of which are not directly related to gameplay. They are required for several quests in the game that require you to obtain them and kill them with ARCs or Fireballs. In this sense, they can be used just like any other throwable item in the game, creating fire when used.

On the other hand, Fireball burners can be processed into ARC alloya vital component for much of game development. If you don't have any Fireball related quests, then I suggest you just smelt it for parts, as you'll find a lot more use in ARC alloys than in Fireball Burners.

The fireballs themselves are also quest dependent, with some skills requiring you to damage them by any means to provide a reward. Cred currency to complete. I'd also keep a supply of Fireball burners in case the need arises, but most of them you can just turn into good old alloys.
