Looting and shooting is the name of the game in ARC Raiders, and there are plenty of places to find the best gear. Typically, you’re best off searching the high-tier loot zones, the areas outlined in red, but not a lot of people know that there are tons of hidden stashes littered throughout the maps.
These aren’t marked as POIs, and they can often appear unassuming, but these hidden loot spots can spawn numerous searchable containers—including weapon cases. It’s not always a guarantee, but if you’re passing by some of these places on your next raid, do yourself a favour and check them out.
Here are seven secret loot spots that you need to know about in ARC Raiders.
Dam Battlegrounds—East Broken Bridge Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
To kick things off, load into Dam Battlegrounds and head to the North East part of the map. Here, you’ll see the bridge has collapsed; what you’ll need to do is run to the very end of the bridge—and drop off the edge.
That might sound like a death wish, or at least a twisted ankle, but tucked underneath the bridge inside the concrete is a secret room. If you slowly shimmy off the edge and spam your jump button as you’re falling, you should catch onto the ledge of the hidden room and be greeted with an assortment of searchable containers.
Dam Battlegrounds—Red Lakes Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
You’ll want to stick around in Dam Battlegrounds and go to the Red Lakes. It’s a fairly open area, so be careful of any roaming Rocketeers or Leapers. What you’re looking for are the two ruins you can see pinpointed on the map above.
You can get inside one of them, and tucked away at the back, a weapon case can spawn. Additionally, just across the water are some more breachable containers, which have a chance to spawn some blueprints.
Dam Battlegrounds—Formicai Hills Electrical Tower Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
To wrap things up in Dam Battlegrounds, you’ll need to head all the way to the South of the map. As is the case with most of these locations, this one isn’t a marked POI on the map, but you’ll want to head towards the electrical tower and work your way to its platform.
Here, you can find another weapon case, as well as a medical bag. It’s definitely one of the easier loot spots to find, but because it’s on the outskirts of the map, it’s often left untouched.
Buried City—Marano Station Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
Most hidden spots tend to have one or two weapon cases maximum, but if you go to Marano Station in Buried City, there’s a chance you can find five!
To get started, go to the actual station. There’s a breachable door that can spawn a weapon case, and once you’ve checked there, use the train to climb onto the roof, where another one can spawn.
The next few are scattered around the station. One case can spawn in the nearby bus, whilst another can appear slightly East of the station, tucked next to a bench.
Finally, head over to the nearby Library POI and make your way to the roof. Up there, a weapon case can spawn on top of the ventilation shafts. If you’re incredibly lucky, all five could spawn, and you could walk away with a backpack full of guns.
Buried City—Parking Garage Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
After five weapon cases, there’s still more to find in Buried City. Make your way to the Parking Garage, and go down to the lowest level. Breach the door, and you’ll see a zipline. Instead of going up, drop down onto the sand below, and you’ll find a hidden floor of the Garage.
Inside, you’ll find a variety of breachable containers, including numerous metal crates and hopefully a weapon case. Overall, it’s just a great loot spot, and it’s one you should add to your routine.
Spaceport—North Trench Tower Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
There are two ways to access this hidden weapon case on Spaceport: you’ll either need the North Trench Tower Key if you want to maximise the loot, or simply a zipline if you’re just after the case.
Either way, make your way to the very top of the North trench Tower, and look around for a vent shaft. You can climb inside, and you’ll hopefully see a weapon case hidden under the concrete lip. If you brought the Key with you, feel free to loot the rest of the Tower—there are plenty of containers to search.
The Blue Gate—Maintenance Wing Hidden Location In ARC Raiders
To wrap things up, load into The Blue Gate. Technically speaking, these cases are located in a high-tier loot zone, but they’re so commonly missed that it’s always worth checking.
The easiest way to get these cases is to find the zipline shafts on the surface, which are highlighted on the map above. Drop down and search atop the vents for the first weapon case. Next, look down, and on top of some piping for the second weapon case. And finally, all the way on the ground floor, next to the large yellow pipe, a third and final weapon case can spawn.
Remember that not all of these are guaranteed to spawn, but you should certainly keep an eye out for them in your next raid. If you think there are even more hidden spots out there, share your findings in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
