How to destroy an ARC enemy with a Fireball Burner

Finding a Fireball Burner in Arc Raiders is required for the What Goes Around quest. But getting one isn't particularly simple, nor is using it to destroy an ARC enemy. It's a vague quest that leaves you to figure it all out on your own and will meaning getting in a fight deliberately to get what you need. To give you the best chance of success, I can point you in the right direction to find Fireball Burners so you can check off this quest from Apollo.

Where to find Fireball Burners in Arc Raiders

Fireball Burners drops from Fireball enemies when you defeat them. These ball shaped ARCs roll up and torch you with their flames if they spot you. You’ll usually find Fireballs inside buildings, with plenty on the Buried City map. They are a fairly common in other maps in Arc Raiders generally, 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. They can roll up quick, so try and sneak up so you can start shooting them while they're unaware. Just like Arc Raider Hornets Fireballs have a weak spot on their rotors - it's just that you can only see that when they open up to attack. So soften them up from a distance and finish them off before 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.

Once you have a Fireball Burner, put it in a quick-use inventory slots so you can pull it out easily and throw it like a grenade. To complete this quest you need to actually kill an enemy with a Fireball Burner. So it's best to find a weaker enemy like a Tick or Pop. Anything tougher than that will need a few shots to soften it up so the burner is the thing that finishes it off.

You’ll only have to do it one time, so claim your rewards from Apollo when you’re done. You'll get three Blaze Grenades, two Noisemakers, and a unique backpack attachment cosmetic.
