How to produce and use Steel in Arknights Endfield

Steel is one of the more advanced items in Arknights Endfield, and you can use it to create different items at your AIC base. Unlike ores like Originium and Amethyst, Steel requires some time and effort to unlock.

How to produce Steel in Arknights Endfield

The process behind obtaining Steel depends largely on Sandleaf Powder. We already have a detailed guide about this resource and how you can obtain it on Talos-II. You’ll first need to create a Sandleaf Powder production line.

You’ll require a Seed Picking Unit, a Planting Unit, and a Shredding Unit. First, connect the Seed Picking Unit to the Planting Unit. Next, connect the Planting Unit to the Shredding Unit. Connect the Planting Unit back to the Seed Picking Unit to create an infinite source for Sandleaf Powder. This clears our first part of Steel production.

Once we have Sandleaf Powder, we can start working towards our Steel production. We are going to need two Shredding Units and three Depot Unloaders. Two of the three Unloaders will process refined Ferrium, while the last one will have Sandleaf Powder.

Place two Shredding Units in front of the two Depot Unloaders that contain refined Ferrium. Next, place a Grinding Unit right in front of the two Shredding Units. Finally, place a Refining Unit in front of the Grounding Unit.

Next, complete the following steps.

• Connect the two Unloaders with refined Ferrium to the Shredder Units.
• Connect the two Shredder Units to the Grounding Unit.
• Connect the Unloader with Sandleaf Powder directly to the Grounding Unit.
• Connect one belt from the Grounding Unit to the Refining Unit.
• Connect another belt to Protocol Stash.

This setup will help you get Steel and Steel Parts. If you want to just get more Steel Parts, add a Fitting Unit and connect it to the Refining Unit with a belt.

You can use Steel to produce Steel Parts using a Fitting Unit. Connect it to the Refinining Unit, and you’re good to go. You can also produce Steel Bottles with the Steel. Instead of a Fitting Unit, build and connect a Molding Unit to the Refining Unit.

That’s pretty much all you can do with Steel in the current build of Arknights Endfield.

Expired Respirator might not be a new item in ARC Raiders, but the demand for it has gone up after the Headwinds update went live.

The Trophy Display project, added as part of the Headwinds update, requires you to find and submit Expired Respirators. Doing so will earn you different rewards that might be immensely beneficial for your in-game grind.

While there’s an element of randomness associated with how you can find, this guide will help raise the odds of your success.

Best Expired Respirator locations in ARC Raiders

There’s no fixed area where you’re guaranteed to find Expired Respirators. However, it’s a medical equipment that can typically be found in commercial areas. I usually used to find this item in different spots of the Buried City. The Hospital is a POI that seems to have the highest chances of success.

Another great spot is the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. The spot, located in the southern part of the map, can also help you with a few Expired Respirators. That said, it ultimately depends on your luck.

If you’re on the Spaceport or the Blue Gate map, I will concentrate on hitting the Commercial and Residential areas. You’ll want to go carefully through all the containers and other breachable spots that you might find.

As of writing, the most important use of the Expired Respirators is to complete the second stage of the Trophy Display project. You’ll need to submit three of these items once you’ve unlocked Stage 2. Doing so will get you three Photoelectric Cloak, and bring you one step closer to unlocking the final rewards.

Once done, you can recycle Expired Respirators to get four Fabric and eight Rubber Parts. Both items are staples for several crafting recipes, and you should stack them as much as possible.
