Similar to the Comet Igniter, you’ll have to defeat a Firefly, one of the two new arc enemies added in the update, in order to collect it. These enemies aren’t too tough to kill, but you’ll want to avoid them getting close and breathing fire on you.The Shrouded Sky update also has some new tricky quests, such as A Rising Tide and Worth Your Salt, but by comparison, grabbing a Firefly Burner is a much easier task to accomplish.How to get a Firefly Burner in Arc Raiders Fireflies have a pointier shape like a jet (Image credit: Embark Studios)You’ll need to destroy one of the new Firefly arc enemies to get a Firefly Burner.

As ever, a Ferro will serve, but an Anvil would be better. If you want a cheap and dirty solution, I recommend Seeker Grenades, since, as I learned in the Shared Watch event, they absolutely decimate flying arc enemies.The key difference is that the Firefly will just melt you if it gets in close and, unlike with a Hornet, you won’t have much chance of dodging the fire it spews, so you’ll want to take it out as fast as possible, or hide in a building to plink at it.
