In ARC Raiders, how well you know the map often determines the upper limit of your gains. While most players are still engaged in fierce battles at popular spots, real seasoned players have long set their sights on those secret loot spots tucked away in the corners of the map that are often overlooked.
Today, let's follow in the footsteps of a veteran player and delve into this hidden guide to Spaceport. From weapon crates to backpacks, from keyless infiltration routes to agile movement techniques for quickly descending from towers, mastering these will double your earnings on every raid.
I. Starting Strong: Forgotten Weapon Crates
The vast desert of Spaceport hides many weapon crates that don't rely on buildings for spawning, making them your first choice for arming yourself upon landing.
1. Desert Edge's Gift
On a small path between the Fuel Storage Area and the Dock on the left side of the map, follow the path to its end near a spherical device. Right in the deepest part of this seemingly barren stretch of sand, a weapon crate spawns regularly. If you land close to here, don't hesitate and head straight for it to bid farewell to starting with nothing.
2. Beneath the Giant Tower at East Container Dock
At the bottom of the East Container Dock, there's a huge crane. Underneath this crane, a weapon crate is hidden. This area is usually a blind spot for players on the move, and few people will take the time to search here specifically.
3. The Rooftop of the Rifle Building
Yes, it's the rooftop again. At the Rifle Building, climb to the roof and make your way to a small corner. Not only does a weapon crate spawn here, but there may also be a medical kit or an ammo box nearby.
II. Keyless "Hacker" Play: The Magic of the Zipline
Many locked rooms in Spaceport require corresponding keys to enter. But if you have a Zipline, these access restrictions become a thing of the past.
4. Treasure on the Roof of the North and South Trench Towers
The towers in the North and South Trenches require keys to enter. However, if you set up a Zipline at an appropriate position on the outer wall of the tower, you can directly reach the tower's roof. On the roof, there's not only a hidden backpack but also an ammo box. What's even better is that you can jump directly from the roof into the interior of the tower and loot the red storage cabinets inside without needing a key.
5. Crossing the Chasm: From Tower to the Opposite Side
On the roof of the tower, if you have a second Zipline, you can set it up to the opposite building. A weapon crate is hidden there, giving you double the joy.
6. Free Access to the Top of A6 Control Tower
Does A6 Control Tower require a key? Not at all. Set up a Zipline outside the tower, and you can directly reach the middle floor of the tower. There's a backpack near the window there. If you have another Zipline, you can even climb all the way to the top of the tower, giving you a commanding position for sniping enemies or observing the situation.
III. Secret Backpacks in Unpopular Areas
Many people think that the spawn points at the edges of the map are "dead ends," but that's not the case. These areas actually hide backpacks that are easily overlooked.
7. The Pipe at the Bottom of East Container Dock
Follow the pipes along the eastern side of the map to the very bottom. In an inconspicuous spot, a backpack will spawn, often containing high-grade mechanical parts.
8. Twin Backpacks on the Rooftop of the Departure Building
Climb to the roof of the Departure Building, and you'll find a backpack in a specific corner. After searching it, go down to the side of the containers on the other side of the roof, and there's a second backpack.
9. A Surprise Near the Small Hangar
Near the small hangar beside the Launch Tower, many people assume it's just an open area. But right next to the pipes, a backpack spawns regularly.
10. Inside the Fuel Pipeline
In the Fuel Pipeline area of the map, there's a broken pipe that you can actually crawl into. A weapon crate is hidden inside.
11. Remote Watchtowers
Some independent small towers at the edges of the map also have backpacks that spawn, providing a good option for starting.
IV. Security Checkpoint: The "Subsistence Allowance" for Bad Spawns
If you're unlucky enough to spawn at the farthest Security Checkpoint on the map, don't rush to leave. There are three backpack spawn points here:
* Employee Parking Lot: Climb up the dilapidated roof on the left, and a backpack will spawn at a fixed position.
* Electrical Substation: A backpack will spawn on the chair.
* Nearby Roof: Climb up a specific roof, and a backpack will spawn beside the ventilation duct.
After searching these three spots, you'll at least enter the city with a set of basic supplies.
V. Silent Infiltration of Vehicle Maintenance Building and Arrival Building
12. Vehicle Maintenance Building
In the Vehicle Maintenance Building, enter through a specific door, and you'll find a backpack and an armor box hidden in the corner.
13. The Breakable Door in the Arrival Building
There's a door in the Arrival Building that can be blown open. But the good news is that you don't need to blow it up. You can simply flip over from the outside of the building. This way, you can loot the rooms inside without making any explosion sounds that would alert nearby enemies.
VI. Underground Area and Agile Tower Descent Techniques
14. Underground Corner
In the underground area of Spaceport, in a specific small corner, a weapon crate spawns at a high position, and a backpack is hidden at a low position.
15. Three Ways to Descend from the Launch Tower Building
When coming down from the top floor of the Launch Tower Building, besides taking the zipline, there are two faster and quieter methods:
* Technique 1: Jump off the high edge and use the Zipline when you're close to the ground to land silently.
* Technique 2: Along the protrusions on the edge of the building, you can safely descend to the ground layer by layer through continuous climbing movements.
VII. Conclusion: Knowledge is Wealth
By mastering these 20 hidden spots, every journey you take in Spaceport will be full of surprises. Whether you're collecting basic materials to upgrade your workshop or searching for high-value items like snowballs and mixtapes to exchange for ARC Raiders Coins, these spots will provide you with a stable source of resources.
Moreover, many of these hidden spots are accompanied by weapon crates, giving you a chance to obtain the ARC Raiders Blueprints you need, allowing you to take the lead in both equipment and skills.
