In Arc Raiders, the color yellow means one thing: Legendary. Legendary items include some of the rarest and most powerful tools in the entire game—ranging from weapons to attachments, and even unique traversal utilities that completely reshape how you play. This article breaks down every currently available legendary item in the game, how they work, whether they’re worth using, which builds benefit from them most, and finally, a complete ranking of all legendary Arc Raiders items.

The Rarest Legendaries: Attachments

Legendary attachments are by far the rarest items in the game. Many players haven’t even seen a blueprint drop. If you’re hunting them, Security Locations (preferably red-tier, ideally at night) offer the best odds.

There are currently two legendary attachments:

1. Kinetic Converter Stock

2. Anvil Splitter (Tech Mod)

Let’s break down how each one works.

1. Kinetic Converter Stock

How It Works

  • +15% Fire Rate

  • +20% horizontal & vertical recoil

  • Requires a weapon that accepts a stock.

Compatible Weapons

Pharaoh, Kettle, Rattler, Stitcher, Apelio, Toro, Osprey, Renegade, Torrent, Patina, Bobcat, Tempest, Vulcano, and more.

When is it Good?

The Kinetic Converter is incredible only on weapons that don’t care about recoil and that aggressively benefit from increased fire-rate. Put it on a weapon that already struggles with recoil, and the attachment becomes nearly useless—the shots you miss completely erase the DPS benefit.

Best Weapons for Kinetic Converter

✓ Stitcher (Best Overall)

This is the single best budget synergy in the game.

Why?

  • Stitcher base fire rate: 45

  • +15% Kinetic Converter brings it to ~60, nearly matching the meta Bobcat (66).

  • Stitcher deals 7 damage per shot vs Bobcat’s 6.

  • Upgrading and repairing the Stitcher is far cheaper.

A level 4 Stitcher with the converter becomes a discount Bobcat that performs better in many scenarios.

✓ Vulcano (High-Tier Option)

The Vulcano’s job is simple: stat-check enemies by dumping a full mag instantly.

More fire rate = even faster stat-checks. It’s expensive to maintain and upgrade compared to the Stitcher, but incredibly strong.

Other Decent Options

  • Torrent — amazing TTK, but recoil forces crouching

  • Renegade — already gains fire-rate through upgrades

Verdict

One of the most transformative attachments in the game. If you find it, use it.

2. Anvil Splitter (Tech Mod)

How It Works

  • Only works on the Anvil rifle

  • Converts the single heavy shot into four projectiles

  • Each projectile deals –70% damage, but can crit and pierce weak spots

  • Still costs one heavy ammo

This effectively turns the Anvil into a close/mid-range burst shotgun using heavy ammo.

Is It Good?

Depends entirely on range and what you’re fighting.

Strengths

  • Extremely strong vs Arc weak points

  • Great burst damage up close

  • Heavy ammo gives superior armor penetration over shotguns

Weaknesses

  • Removes the Anvil’s long-range utility

  • Loses to Ventor, shotguns, Vulcano, and even Stitcher in straight PvP trades

  • Requires level 4 Anvil to be competitive

Verdict

Fun and situational—amazing for Arc weak point deletion, weaker in PvP against meta close-range guns.

Legendary Utility: The Snap Hook

How to Obtain

  • Craftable (with blueprint) at Utility Station Level 3

  • Requires:

    • 2× Power Rod

    • 3× Rope

    • 1× Exodus Module

Why It’s Incredible

The Snap Hook is one of the biggest movement upgrades in the entire game. It lets you:

  • Launch yourself across long distances

  • Grapple onto ledges and instantly mantle

  • Swing around objects for momentum

  • Evade ambushes or escape Arc swarms

  • Reach high Arc units (Matriarchs, Queens, Bastions)

  • Carry it safely in your safe pocket so you don’t lose it

It has a stamina-like recharge system, allowing two quick uses before needing a brief cooldown.

Combos

Deadline Mine + Snap Hook

Using the hook to get on top of an Arc and plant Deadline Mines delivers 1,000 damage, instantly killing:

  • Bastions

  • Bombardiers

  • Rocketeers

And deals massive burst to Queens if you stack multiple mines before jumping off.

Bonus Trick

You can hook small Arc (like wasps), pull them into you, and shoot them mid-air.

Verdict

One of the most universally strong items in the game for both PvP and PvE.

Legendary Weapons

Currently available:

  • Jupiter

  • Equalizer

  • (Upcoming) Aelion – not yet obtainable but referenced in game files

Let’s break down the two available ones.

Jupiter — Legendary Sniper

How It Works

A high-velocity, high-penetration sniper that:

  • Deals 55 damage per shot

  • Punches straight through heavy Arc armor

  • Can hit multiple targets

  •

Has a wind-up time

  • Uses Energy Clips

    • (2× Batteries + 1× Advanced Arc Power Cell)

Why It’s Good

Despite having a charge-up, players rarely dodge it due to desync—and you can easily snipe from long range. Jupiter is the most reliable legendary weapon currently in the game.

Crafting

  • Requires Gunsmith Level 3

  • Blueprint from Harvester event

  • 3× Magnetic Accelerators

  • 3× Complex Gun Parts

  • 1× Queen Reactor

Equalizer — Legendary Beam Rifle

Stats Overview

  • 8 damage per tick

  • 50 ticks per mag

  • Very fast TTK if maintained on target

  • Energy ammo ignores all armor

Strengths

  • Shreds Arc weak points

  • Good medium-range tracking

  • Excellent sustained damage in PvE

Weaknesses

  • Extremely slow weapon raise

  • Requires a wind-up before firing

  • Makes you move slower while channeling

  • Loses most PvP trades unless ambushing

  • People with Ventor or shotguns will delete you

Verdict

A high-DPS weapon with terrible ergonomics. Great fun, but worst-in-slot for PvP reliability.

Aelion – The Missing Legendary

Although not yet obtainable, the Aelion is referenced on:

  • Matriarch reactor loot tables

  • Gunsmith crafting requirements

Expected details:

  • Energy burst battle rifle

  • Likely similar to Arpeggio in burst pattern

  • Almost certainly uses energy ammo

  • Probably the most reliable PvP legendary once released

  • Expected crafting:

    • 1× Matriarch Reactor

    • 3× Magnetic Accelerators

    • 3× Complex Gun Parts

    • Blueprint from future Harvester update

Full Ranking: Best Legendary Items in Arc Raiders

From strongest to weakest (based on impact, reliability, and versatility):

1. Kinetic Converter Stock (S-Tier)

Transforms multiple weapons into top-tier killers.

Best budget synergy in the entire game with the Stitcher.

2. Snap Hook (A-Tier)

Game-changing movement tech for both PvP and PvE.

Escape, chase, reposition, and mount Arc like never before.

3. Jupiter (A-Tier)

The best legendary weapon currently in the game.

Reliable, high damage, lethal at all ranges.

4. Anvil Splitter (B-Tier)

Fun and unique, but inconsistent.

Great for Arc weak points; mediocre in PvP.

5. Equalizer (C-Tier)

High damage but unwieldy.

Great PvE tool; unreliable for PvP engagements.

Future Ranking Candidate: Aelion

Potentially the most consistent PvP legendary—but unknown until its release.

Final Thoughts

Legendary items in Arc Raiders vary wildly in power, function, and utility—but each one significantly changes how you approach combat and traversal. The Kinetic Converter and Snap Hook stand out as meta-defining pieces, while Jupiter remains the king of legendary firepower.

As soon as the Aelion becomes available, it may reshape this entire tier list—but for now, these are the definitive rankings of every legendary item in Arc Raiders.
