In ARC Raiders, Energy Clips have quietly turned into one of the easiest ways to make money. They were originally meant as ammo for Legendary weapons like the Equalizer and Jupiter, but players quickly realized that selling them to vendors brings in way more coins than the materials cost. Because of that, farming and crafting Energy Clips has become a go-to method for building up credits, especially if you're aiming for big coin goals .
To get started, you need to unlock the recipe first. That only happens when you consume the Equalizer blueprint at your Workbench. Just having the Jupiter blueprint isn't enough, which catches some players off guard. Once you've used the Equalizer blueprint, Energy Clips show up as a craftable item, and you can start making them in bulk.
The recipe itself is pretty simple. Each batch gives you five Energy Clips and costs two Batteries plus one Advanced ARC Powercell. Batteries are easy to find, especially around the Dam Battlegrounds, and you can also buy them fr om vendors if needed. Powercells take a bit more effort since they drop from stronger enemies like Sentinels, but they're still farmable with a consistent route. Once crafted, those five clips sell for 5,000 coins, which is wh ere the profit comes in.
What makes this loop so strong is the margin. The materials only cost a little over a thousand coins, but the finished product sells for several times that. You're looking at a few thousand coins in profit per batch, which adds up fast if you're crafting regularly. Compared to most other recipes in the game, which barely break even or even lose money, Energy Clips stand out as one of the few that reliably generate profit.
To keep things efficient, it helps to run a simple farming loop that covers both Batteries and Powercells. A lot of players stick to areas with steady ARC spawns, clear a few enemies, grab what they need, then head back to craft and sell. The key is to keep your runs smooth and avoid unnecessary risks. Dying and losing gear can quickly eat into your profits, so consistency matters more than speed .
If you don't feel like crafting, there's another option. Harvester events often drop Energy Clips directly, sometimes in decent amounts. You can just farm those events and sell the clips without worrying about materials. It's not always as consistent as crafting, but it still feeds into the same money-making loop.
By now, a lot of players see this method as borderline overpowered compared to the rest of the economy. Even if future updates adjust prices or costs, the idea is still solid: gather Batteries and Powercells, turn them into Energy Clips, and sell them. As long as the numbers stay close to what they are now, it's one of the most reliable ways to make money in ARC Raiders, especially if you stick to a steady routine and sell everything as soon as you're back.
