Where to find Fried motherboard in Arc Raiders
Fried base plate sells for 2000 coins and it can be recycled into five plastic parts and two electrical parts. Its description states that it can be located in technological locations. There are many such locations on all maps, so load up a match and head to them. What you are looking for is either breakable metal boxes or electrical panels. Inside you'll find the Fried motherboards you need to upgrade the station.
Despite the information indicating the technological locations, you can still find them in any location if there is an electrical plate present, such as Energy complex in Dam Battlefield. The best farming map for these items is the spaceport map. The entire map is a tech hub, so you shouldn't have any trouble extracting a few of them.
You can also find Power Rods in these electric plates that you can use in the room inside the Power Generation Complex. There are a lot of cabinets with good rarity inside, especially in Night raid, Electromagnetic stormsor Cold Snap map conditions, so check them out.
You can try loading into a freeload map, and if you spawn near one of the tech buildings at the start of a round, you can visit them and search for breakable slabs. In case you spawn late or far from locations, they will probably already be lootedso you should just give up. Try another run in hopes of showing up in a better place and with a better weapon to deal with the ARC.
