Best ARC Raiders Loot Spots Players Keep Secret

by

In ARC Raiders, the maps are packed with loot – you’ll easily find good weapons, upgrade materials, and even powerful attachments. However, the most valuable items are usually in popular areas crowded with other players, so getting them often means fighting for them.

Most players have already found the best loot spots, but there are still some hidden areas with surprisingly good gear. These places aren’t always obvious, but they can help you get equipped quickly and easily, often with minimal fighting.

It’s hard to say exactly how well-known these locations are, so you might recognize a few. However, these loot spots are generally hidden, and we hope this article shows you some places you haven’t discovered yet.

Dam Battlegrounds — Radio Tower

Right On The Outskirts

Details:

  • Right on top of a spawn point
  • Spawn chance for every kind of crate, including weapons

Dam Battlegrounds is the first map new players experience, so it’s been thoroughly searched for valuable loot. While many players head straight for obvious locations like the Control Tower, some of the best items can actually be found in the more remote areas of the map.

As a regular player, I always hit the radio tower west of the Scrap Yard. It’s out in the open and usually has some good stuff – anything from a weapons case to a few ammo crates. It’s a great spot to check if someone’s spawning on the south side, and honestly, because of where it is, the loot is usually just sitting there for the taking. It’s almost too easy!

Buried City — Marano Station

Weapons And Ammo Galore

Details:

  • Rarely checked, especially early into a match
  • Two weapon spawns within 50m

Marano Station looks like just another building in the Buried City, but it’s actually a surprisingly good place to find useful items in ARC Raiders before you venture deeper into the map.

Near the north side of the station, you’ll find a door that can be forced open, leading to a small room with weapon and utility crates. This room also contains containers with better loot. If you head up to the roof, you can find even more weapon crates – one directly above, and another a little further east – making this whole area a really good place to find valuable gear.

Spaceport — Fuel Lines

Hidden In Plain Sight

Details:

  • Upturned pipe with weapons case spawn
  • Simple but very easy to run past

Spaceport’s design is very open, letting players easily view most of the map from higher ground. While the towers and buildings offer plenty of cover, it’s important to always check those hidden corners and less obvious spots during a match.

Just below the Fuel Lines marker on the map, there’s a hidden spot where a weapon crate can appear. Many players miss it, but it’s worth checking because of its location. It’s on the way to popular loot areas and close to where players start, so you can quickly grab the crate without much extra effort, and it could give you a significant advantage.

Blue Gate — Highway Collapse

More Than Just A Quest Location

Details:

  • Multiple spawns are all very close by
  • Fast access to a bag, medical supplies, and a weapon case

Many Blue Gate players know the Highway Collapse, especially those who’ve done the ‘Reduced to Rubble’ quest. While there are three nearby spawn points, a lot of players explore the area quickly and don’t bother to fully check their surroundings.

To the east, you’ll find a bus with weapons and a medical supply drop right underneath the road above it. Heading the other direction, players can find a bag hidden below, a utility crate in the western area, and two ammo crates at the very end, giving them plenty of resources to start with.

Stella Montis — Assembly line

In The Middle Of The Firefights

Details:

  • Four case spawns within 10m
  • Elevated weapon/medical bag that many ignore

Stella Montis is the first new map added to ARC Raiders since the game launched, and it offers a unique experience compared to other areas. It’s mostly an indoor environment designed for player-versus-player combat, where being aware of sounds and quickly securing loot are crucial for survival.

Despite the fast-paced action, there’s a useful spot near the main loot area that most players miss. Hidden just outside, in a hanging metal frame, you can often find a weapon or medical supplies. It’s a great place to quickly grab some extra gear to give you an edge in fights.

Spaceport — Staff Parking/Fuel Lines Tower

Above The Bastions And Bombardiers

Details:

  • Towers around the map with weapons cases and high weapon rates in the drawers
  • Security breaches in both towers, alongside other containers

Spaceport is the most vertical map in the game. Like Dam Battlegrounds, it features a large central tower, but it also has many other tall buildings spread throughout the map.

The taller buildings are great places to search because they often have valuable loot, and many players don’t bother going to the higher floors. You can find two of these buildings near the Fuel Lines and Staff Parking, and each one might contain a security breach – plus plenty of weapons, ammo, health items, and other supplies for any Raider.

Buried City — Piazza Roma

Tucked Behind The Trees

Details:

  • Multiple weapon spawns in the same building
  • Hot zone for so many other weapon cases, all outside high-loot zones

Finding valuable items in Buried City can be tough because of all the close quarters and narrow hallways. While knowing the different areas can help, sounds travel easily, so opening one container might attract unwanted attention from other players.

Exploring the edges of the map is a safe and effective way to find valuable items, and the houses in West Village are particularly good for this. One house, located right below Piazza Roma, often contains two weapon cases. Further east, a larger building typically holds three more weapon cases outside of the main high-risk areas, keeping them safe from players who enjoy attacking others.

Dam Battleground — Electrical Tower

In And Out In A Flash

Details:

  • Very close to the extraction point
  • Several player spawns and bonus loot to the south

Players familiar with Dam Battlegrounds likely know the Testing Annex as a popular extraction point. It’s conveniently located close to good loot, within range of even better loot, and not far from where Harvesters appear, making it a frequently used escape route.

If you join a match late, most of the good items will likely be taken already. But don’t worry! The Electrical Tower, located just off the main island, is a great place to quickly grab some extra gear before heading out. Inside, you’ll find an ammo crate and several containers, and a short walk south will lead you to a guaranteed weapon and more ammo. This lets you quickly gear up, zipline away, and avoid getting caught off guard.

Spaceport — Arrival Building

No One Checks The Roof

Details:

  • A ladder on the rear side that often goes unchecked
  • Four weapon spawns in the area, with several containers on the roof

Areas with lots of valuable loot are usually the most crowded. However, even later in a Raid, places like the Arrival Building at Spaceport can still be worth checking – you might be surprised by what you find, even after most of the good stuff has been taken.

The building itself has three places where weapons appear, plus plenty of ammo and health items, all easily collected in under a minute. However, the best loot is found on the roof. You can reach it by a ladder at the back, and there are several spawn points up there that most players completely miss, even though they run by them all the time.

Blue Gate — Maintenance Bunker

Waiting Below The Action

Details:

  • Next to a lesser-used extraction zone
  • Security locker alongside other bags that are rarely looted

Blue Gate is famous for having great treasure hidden underground. Beneath the mountain, there’s a sprawling network of rooms and hallways packed with puzzles and locked doors. Players are constantly searching this area for valuable items as soon as they enter the game.

If you’re looking for good loot, the Maintenance Bunker is a strong choice, though many players don’t check it until the very end of a match. It’s a great spot because it’s right by an extraction point, allowing you to quickly grab items from the security locker and other areas, then escape before the match ends.
