Arc Raiders Fight Fire With Fire Quest: Fireball Locations and Burner Tips

You’ve hit the “Fight Fire With Fire” quest, and now the game wants you to track down something called a Fireball. Sounds dramatic, right? It is. These little metal monsters are exactly what they sound like—tiny bots that dish out fire damage and ruin your day if you’re not paying attention. And yes, they’re tied to multiple quests, including “The Right Tool” and “What Goes Around.” Yeah, can’t exactly bypass them on the way to the next mission. So let’s break down where to find them and how to use their loot without getting roasted.

What’s a Fireball?

Fireballs are small ARC units that roll around like angry space heaters. They’re easy to confuse with Pops (the electric variant), but Fireballs are the ones that spit flames and make you regret all the choices you made that led you to this point. You’ll usually find them indoors, lurking in tight hallways and rooms where they can corner you like a horror movie villain.

Pro tip: Wait until their shell opens up before you shoot. That’s when they’re vulnerable—and also when they’re about to attack. So, time it right or bring a Ferro and end the conversation early.

Best Places to Find Fireballs

If you’re on the Dam Battlegrounds map, start here:

• Control Tower
• Research & Administration
• Water Treatment Dome outposts
• Hydroponic Dome Complex
• Testing Annex

These spots are Fireball-friendly and relatively easy to navigate. Just be warned: Hydroponic Dome is a high-tier loot zone, which means other players will be sniffing around too. If you’re solo, stick to the outer buildings. If you’ve got backup, sweep the area and bait the bots out.

On harder maps like Spaceport, check:

• Flight Control
• Control Tower B6

And on Buried City, head north toward:

• Galleria
• Hospital

These areas are tougher, so bring gear that can handle close-quarters chaos.
