Finding a Fireball Burner in Arc Raiders for the What Goes Around quest isn't particularly simple. Nor is using it to destroy an ARC enemy. It's one of a few vague quests that leaves you to figure things out on your own, and it's not a device you can just craft on one of your many workbenches either. So, I can point you in the right direction to find these Fireball Burners so you can check off this quest from Apollo.
Where to find Fireball Burners
Fireball Burners are loot that drops from Fireball enemies after you defeat and search them. These ARCs roll around in a ball and will torch you with their flames if they spot you and get too close. You’ll usually find Fireballs inside buildings, with plenty on the Buried City map. They are still around in other maps in Arc Raiders, such as Dam Battlegrounds and Spaceport, but wherever you look you’ll rarely find them outside.
Kill one and search it to find a Fireball Burner. Just be ready as they can roll up to you quick. So try and sneak up on them so you can start shooting them while they're unaware. Just like say, and Arc Raiders Hornet which has a weak spot on their rotors, Fireballs do have a vulnerability - it's just that it's when they get really close and open up to attack. So, soften them up from a distance so you can finish them off quick as they get near.
If you're not sure what the best Arc Raiders weapons are for the job I can help you there. And, while the best Arc Raider skills won't make quite as much impact, having some more mobility and overall survival certainly won't hurt.
How to destroy an ARC enemy with a Fireball Burner
Once you actually have a Fireball Burner, put it in a quick-use inventory slots so you can grab it easily. You can then basically throw it like a grenade. This quest seems to only work when the Fireball Burner is the thing that finishes off the ARC enemy and causes the final, lethal damage to kill it. So it's best to find a smaller, more vulnerable enemy like a Tick or Pop. If it's a beefier enemy then shoot them a few times before nailing the final strike with the Burner. Whatever you go for you want it to light them on fire, burning them to destruction and granting you your quest completion.
You’ll only have to do it one time, so claim your rewards from Apollo when you’re done. This NPC will give you three Blaze Grenades, two Noisemakers, and a unique backpack attachment cosmetic.
