Instead of single, high-damage bullets, it fires multiple weaker shots that excel at clearing groups, staggering enemies, and hitting targets at close to mid-range. While rare, it can spawn in several tech-oriented locations.

ARC Raiders Anvil Splitter location

The Anvil Splitter has no fixed spawn, but it commonly appears inside high-value indoor POIs with tech or weapon loot like the Town Hall. You can find it through scavenging rare containers, weapon crates, lockers, and shelf spawns.

You can also obtain the Splitter by finding its blueprint first (drops from random loot), then crafting it at your Weapon Bench. Since the Cold Snap update, blueprint drop rates — including rare mod blueprints — have been reduced compared to the earlier generous rates.
