The first thing I'd check after this early June shop change isn't the outfit or the charm, it's the healing blueprint sitting in Ermal's Nomadic Envoys stock. The Vita Shot blueprint is the kind of unlock that changes how bold you can be during a messy raid, especially when an ARC patrol pushes you out of cover and your squad's already low. If you're sorting through ARC Raiders BluePrints and wondering what's actually worth the grind this week, this one should be near the top of the list.
Why the Vita Shot matters
Vita Shots aren't flashy, but they do the job when you need health right now. That's why the blueprint matters more than a one-off consumable. Once it's unlocked, you're not waiting for lucky loot drops or burning through saved supplies as fast. The price is steep, though. Ermal wants 250,000 worth of low-tier ARC parts, which means you'll need to clear space in your stash and stop hoarding random machine bits "just in case." Wasp Drivers, Fireball Burners, Shredder Gyros, Surveyor Vaults, Sentinel Firing Cores, Snitch Scanners, Spotter Relays, Tick Pods, Comet Igniters, Hornet Drivers, Pop Triggers, Firefly Burners, Power Rods, Space Wrenches, and even a Tempest III can all help push that trade value up.
What else Ermal is selling
The rest of the rotation has a mix of practical stuff and cosmetics. The Cavalier Outfit costs 200,000 in accepted ARC items, so it's not cheap, but collectors will probably chase it anyway. The Bucket Backpack Charm sits at 100,000 low-tier ARC parts, while the Kinetic Converter asks for the same kind of payment. There's also a Raider Tokens bundle, 25 tokens for 150,000 high-tier ARC parts. That last trade is more of a late-game choice. If you're still building your basic kit, dumping rare components into tokens may sting later.
Materials that slow people down
Some of Ermal's offers aren't just about killing ARC units. You'll need map materials too, and that's where players often lose time. Fossilized Lightning comes from the Electromagnetic Storm condition, with lightning strike zones being the place to search. You need five, so don't expect to finish it in one casual run unless the map is kind. Industrial pieces are more straightforward. Ripped Safety Vests and Rusted Tools tend to show up around Mechanical and Industrial points of interest. Still, bring a bag with room. It's annoying to find the right loot and then have to leave it behind.
Event loot and high-tier parts
The Buried City condition can bring duck-related event items into play, including the Rubber Duck, DoodlyDuck, and Flashy Duck. They sound silly, but rotation items often do, and then everyone suddenly needs them. For higher-tier exchanges, you're looking at tougher ARC drops such as Queen Reactors, Matriarch Reactors, Bombardier Cells, Assessor Matrices, Turbine Compressors, Leaper Pulse Units, Bastion Cells, Vaporizer Regulators, and Rocketeer Drivers. If those names are showing up in your stash, you're probably already fighting the nastier machines. Don't trade them blind. Check what upgrade path you're working toward before handing them over.
Best way to approach this rotation
A smart route this week is simple: farm low-tier ARC parts first, then branch into storm or industrial zones only when the map condition makes it worth the risk. The Vita Shot blueprint should be the main target for most players because healing on demand keeps paying you back every raid. Cosmetics can wait unless you've got spare parts sitting around. If you're comparing unlock priorities or browsing ARC Raiders BluePrints for sale while planning your next few runs, use Ermal's prices as a reminder to spend parts with a plan, not out of habit.
