This &#8220;uncommon&#8221; Recyclable material is one of those items that seems to drop everywhere until you actually need it\u2014specifically for the Weather Monitor System. With its heavy emphasis on high-stakes scavenging in dangerous zones, the game feels like a sci-fi evolution of extraction shooters like <em>Escape from Tarkov<\/em>, but with a much sleeker, retro-futuristic aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-1024x590.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-1024x590.png 1024w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-150x86.png 150w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210-600x346.png 600w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-210.png 1263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Find and Scavenge Camera Lens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Camera Lens in ARC Raiders cannot be purchased from any vendor, nor can it be crafted by combining other materials. The only way to obtain it is through old-fashioned scavenging on the <strong>Topside<\/strong>. According to the item description, these lenses are primarily found in <strong>Security locations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you currently need the lens for a specific project, we highly recommend using the <strong>Track<\/strong> feature in your inventory. This adds a small eye icon to the item in the game world, ensuring you don&#8217;t accidentally overlook it or leave it behind during a frantic firefight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"734\" height=\"632\" data-id=\"18634\" src=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-212.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18634\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-212.png 734w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-212-300x258.png 300w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-212-150x129.png 150w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-212-600x517.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"641\" data-id=\"18632\" src=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211.png 896w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211-150x107.png 150w, https:\/\/magicstark.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-211-600x429.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to value, selling a Camera Lens will net you <strong>640 Coins<\/strong>.

The Camera Lens is the perfect example of an item that forces you to weigh the risk of crossing the open fields of the Hydroponic Domes against the reward of finishing your next upgrade. We love the project tracking mechanic\u2014it completely removes the frustration of accidentally discarding something you&#8217;ve been hunting for days. Just a word of caution: if you&#8217;re running a &#8220;free loadout&#8221; without a Safe Pocket, one lucky shot from a Firefly can send your hard-earned glass right back into the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I buy a Camera Lens from a vendor in the base?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: No, this item cannot be purchased from any vendor. You must scavenge it from Security locations on the maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What do I get if I recycle a Camera Lens?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Recycling one lens grants you 8 Plastic Parts, which are essential for many crafting recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How do I know if an item in the world is the one I need for my project?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: If you use the &#8220;Track&#8221; function on a recipe (like the Weather Monitor), a small eye icon will appear over the Camera Lens when you find it in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Which map is the best for farming lenses?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Dam Battlegrounds is the top choice, specifically the Hydroponic Dome Complex and the Control Tower, due to the high density of Security loot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I craft a Camera Lens from other materials?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: No. It is a base recyclable material that must be found; there is currently no recipe to craft it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18625,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-18644","pruvodce","type-pruvodce","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pruvodce-category-arc-raiders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ARC Raiders Guide: Where to Find and Farm Camera Lens<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for a Camera Lens in ARC Raiders?
