| What is a Rubber Pad Used for in Arc Raiders? |

What is a Rubber Pad?
A Rubber Pad is classified as a rare, recyclable item in Arc Raiders. You can typically find it when scavenging in electrical areas or breaking down certain equipment. Its main purpose is to provide a source of crafting material rather than being used directly in combat or building.
In terms of in-game stats, a Rubber Pad:
Is rare, so it’s not something you’ll see in every scavenging run.
Weighs 2.0 units, which is relatively light, so carrying a few extra won’t impact your mobility much.
Can be recycled into more useful materials.
Has a small sell price, around 1,000 coins, if you decide to trade or sell them.
Knowing these properties helps you decide whether to keep it for crafting or sell it to stock up on coins.
How Do You Use Rubber Pads?
The main use of a Rubber Pad in Arc Raiders is recycling. When you recycle a Rubber Pad, you get Rubber Parts, which are essential for crafting certain items and upgrades. Here’s how it works in practice:
Recycling: One Rubber Pad can be recycled into 18 Rubber Parts, making it an efficient way to stock up on crafting materials.
Salvaging: If you salvage a Rubber Pad instead of recycling it fully, you still get 9 Rubber Parts, which can be handy if you’re managing inventory space or need a smaller boost in materials.
In practical gameplay, most experienced Raiders prioritize recycling because it maximizes the return. Rubber Parts are frequently needed for crafting gear, repair kits, or other modules. Keeping a few Rubber Pads in your inventory and recycling them in batches ensures you always have enough Rubber Parts without needing to grind endlessly.
Where Can You Find Rubber Pads?
From my experience, Rubber Pads are mainly found in electrical areas. These are spots where you scavenge electrical equipment, control panels, or broken drones. Players often overlook these areas, focusing instead on high-traffic zones or combat loot, but spending a few extra minutes scavenging here usually pays off.
A common approach is:
Clear the area of enemies first.
Check every crate, container, or broken machine.
Collect any Rubber Pads you find and store them for recycling later.
Since Rubber Pads are rare, even a single pad can be valuable if you’re low on crafting materials. Some players even prioritize Rubber Pads to quickly generate Rubber Parts instead of grinding materials from multiple sources.
Should You Sell or Keep Rubber Pads?
This depends on your playstyle. Here’s the general rule of thumb:
Keep them if you craft frequently: Rubber Pads are essential for creating Rubber Parts, which feed into almost every crafting recipe.
Sell them if you need coins: If you’re trying to buy items, upgrade modules, or even sell other rare blueprints, Rubber Pads can provide a quick 1,000 coins each.
A common trick in the trading and crafting loop is to  sell Arc Raiders blueprints
or other items for coins while keeping Rubber Pads to maintain your crafting stockpile. This balance allows you to fund upgrades without depleting your materials.
How Do Rubber Pads Fit Into Crafting?
Rubber Pads themselves aren’t used directly in crafting—they’re always recycled into Rubber Parts first. Once you have Rubber Parts, you can:
Craft or repair gear modules.
Build components for drones or turrets.
Complete higher-tier recipes that require multiple materials.
In my experience, managing Rubber Pads effectively is part of smart inventory planning. If you grab too many pads without recycling them, your backpack fills up quickly, and you miss out on other valuable loot.
Tips from an Experienced Player
Here are some practical tips I’ve picked up from countless scavenging runs:
Prioritize electrical areas: These are the most reliable sources of Rubber Pads.
Recycle in bulk: Don’t recycle every single pad immediately—collect a stack of 5–10, then recycle at once for efficiency.
Balance selling and crafting: Keep enough Rubber Pads to maintain a healthy supply of Rubber Parts, but don’t hesitate to sell extras if you need coins.
Inventory management: Rubber Pads weigh 2 units each. If your inventory is nearly full, it might be better to recycle or sell rather than carry them all.
Scout before fights: Often, Rubber Pads are tucked away behind obstacles or inside containers in enemy zones. Clearing enemies first makes scavenging safer.
By treating Rubber Pads as a recyclable resource rather than a direct-use item, you maximize your crafting potential and avoid wasting rare loot.
To wrap it up:
Rubber Pads are a rare, recyclable item mainly found in electrical areas.
They are recycled into Rubber Parts, which are essential for crafting and repairing gear.
You can also sell them for coins if you need currency.
Experienced players focus on recycling in bulk and balancing inventory space with crafting needs.
Knowing when to keep and when to sell is key to efficient resource management in Arc Raiders.
If you approach Rubber Pads strategically, they become a small but important part of your resource loop, helping you craft the gear and components you need without unnecessary grinding. Whether you’re scavenging for crafting or looking to fund upgrades, Rubber Pads are one of those items that quietly make a big difference over time.
