ARC Raiders: Wires & Batteries Location (Trash Into Treasure)

In ARC Raiders, you can earn experience and rewards by completing quests for traders. One early quest, “Trash into Treasure,” asks you to find wires and a battery on Topside and return them to Speranza. If you’re new to the game, you might not know where to find these items, so this guide will show you exactly where to look to complete the quest.

Where to Find Wires & Batteries in ARC Raiders

You’ll likely find wires and batteries – useful for crafting and powering equipment – in areas labeled with electrical or tech loot in ARC Raiders. But your best bet for finding these items is actually near power stations and electrical facilities.

Okay, so when I’m scavenging for electrical parts in ARC Raiders, I’ve learned I really need to check everything. Seriously, every locker, every little crater, every drawer – I have to search it all. Here’s a guide to the best spots where I can reliably find batteries and wires to keep my gear running.

  • Some drawers or shelves in these locations will contain some electronic devices that can be recycled to get batteries from them.
  • Said lootable areas can also contain computer power cables that you can recycle to get wires.
  • It’s best to search for CRT monitors which can be found near command consoles. These have a high chance of giving players batteries.
  • Searching electric panels and generators (often found on the exterior of these buildings) will let players accumulate wires for the quest.
  • If you happen to find enemy players in these areas, try defeating them and looting their bodies. It’s highly likely they were here collecting wires and batteries, just like you.

After collecting the necessary wires and batteries, be sure to place at least one in your Safe Pocket. This ensures you won’t lose everything if you’re defeated by another player or an ARC Machine. Then, quickly proceed to the nearest extraction point to deliver your components to Speranza.

Okay, so I just found out that if you go to Shani’s Trader tab in ARC Raiders and finish the “Trash into Treasure” quest, you get some awesome rewards! We’re talking XP to help level up, plus a Tactical MK.1 and three Adrenaline Shots. Definitely worth doing!
