How to get and use Firefly Burner in ARC Raiders

The Firefly Burner is a rare item that's hard to find in ARC Raiders, largely due to the way we have to obtain it. The Firefly Burner isn't just some loot that you can extract from an old fridge. Instead, you'll have to take down a Firefly (one of the two new ARCs to find in the new update). This task is easier said than done, so let's look at how you can secure a Firefly Burner.Table of contentsHow to get a Firefly Burner in ARC RaidersHow to use the Firefly Burner in ARC RaidersHow to get a Firefly Burner in ARC Raiders The answer is pretty simple: shoot down a Firefly Burner.
