How to Get Red Ant Parts¶

Red Ant Parts are obtained through killing Red Worker Ants and Red Soldier Ants. They can be found around the Mysterious Machine and around Ant Totem Cave. They aren’t hostile until you hit them, but be careful of when you do engage them - sometimes there’ll be more than one hanging around and that’s when you might run into some trouble.
