ARC Raiders: Top 5 Underrated Loot Spots on Stella Montis Map

by

In ARC Raiders, the Stella Montis Map is expansive and crawling with dangerous ARC enemies called Shredders. These enemies will chase players across the entire map once they’ve been spotted. Therefore, finding the best loot isn’t just about heading to the areas marked for high-tier items (shown in red).

Looking for great places to find loot in Stella Montis? This list reveals five hidden spots where Raiders can find impressive gear. These areas are packed with valuable items, but be warned – they’re well-protected by both challenging AI enemies and other players hoping to claim the riches for themselves. We’ll show you exactly where to go to maximize your farming efforts.

The Archives

A Dangerous Place, But The Rewards Are Worth It

The Archives has two main levels. The upper level, accessible from the north and south, is a good spot to surprise other players. The very top level is where you’ll find the most loot – lots of crates and cabinets to search. Many players skip this area near the Business Lounge, which connects the Archives to the Auditorium – another place worth checking for supplies. Keep an eye out for scattered luggage, as it often contains valuable items like trinkets and survival gear.

The main area has Grenade and Weapon Crates that appear on both sides. You can find some behind wooden crates near the Zipline, and more in the south where Shredders often patrol. The biggest draw, though, is the Locked Storage Room, which needs an Epic Tier Keycard to open and contains a lot of valuable loot – if you can handle the Shredder guarding it. If you have a Raiders Hatch Key, you can access an underground area with another hatch on the opposite side of the Storage Room, providing a fast escape and even more loot from nearby crates.

The Seed Vault

Ignored By Most Players, But They Should Think Twice

The Seed Vault is located in a remote corner of the lowest level of Stella Montis, and it’s a common spot for enemy Raiders to appear. To get inside, players need to place a Fuel Cell into a special box on the wall. However, players usually steer clear of this area for a couple of reasons. First, a dangerous enemy called the Shredder frequently patrols around the Seed Vault, sometimes even reaching the Airshaft Extraction point. Second, it’s a popular place for other players, which can lead to conflict.

Opening this metal door reveals much more than just items. You’ll typically find two types of crates: one with weapons and one with useful tools. You can also collect at least 70 Seeds each round. These Seeds aren’t just for trading with Celeste; they’re also essential for finishing Quests and progressing in the Expeditions Project. Plus, each vault…

Logistics Admin

Players Often Ignore What’s Lying There In Plain Sight

This area, found on the Bottom Layer above the Loading Bay, is reached by heading west through the underground tunnels – watch out for the roaming Bastion! It’s packed with crates, containers, and valuable Exodus Modules to collect. Players should prioritize gathering as many Exodus Modules as they can, as these rare materials can be sold for a good price or used to craft powerful weapons like the Jupiter.

Logistics Admin is often skipped by players because it’s a common enemy spawn location and near a Metro exit point. Many prefer to take the long way around and head straight for the Sandbox, which has more loot, though it’s a very competitive area. While the Sandbox offers valuable crafting materials, it’s heavily patrolled by enemies, and players frequently fight over resources. Logistics Admin is actually a safer option, offering plenty of Lockers, breakable containers, Supply Backpacks, and Android Remains. It’s also right next to a Metro entrance, making a quick and safe escape easy.

Auditorium

A Small Looting Zone, But Don’t Discard It Just Yet

The Auditorium is conveniently located next to the Cultural Archives and Lobby, with multiple entrances making it easy to get to. However, this also means opponents can quickly join the fray, potentially leading to chaotic fights. Despite the risk, the valuable rewards found here are well worth the effort.

The area around reception is packed with loot, like Raider’s Backpacks, Grenade Caches, and even Weapon Crates near the benches, making it a great place for players to find gear. If you prefer to avoid crowded hotspots, the Auditorium is another good option for quickly equipping yourself, even if you start with the basic Free Loadout.

Assembly

Tons Of Mats, But Be Careful, It’s Open Season Out There

The Assembly Line in Stella Mortis is a loot-rich area. You’ll find containers with items scattered along two walkways that run above a long, straight zone filled with rocket parts and other futuristic debris. There are many places to search for loot, and at the very end of the line, you can find an Admin Room. You’ll need a Stella Montis Assembly Admin Key to open it.

While not officially marked as a high-value area, The Assembly offers surprisingly good loot for Raiders willing to take the risk. Players can typically find at least 9 Exodus Modules and 3 Power Rods, and sometimes even more. Its location near a Raider Hatch makes it ideal for a quick raid – players can gather loot and escape before others realize anyone was there. Overall, it’s a fantastic and often overlooked loot spot in Stella Montis.
