In the world of ARC Raiders, the recent buzz has been all about the hurricane raids, mainly due to the newly emerged Raider's Vault. However, some players believe that regular daily raids can also be highly profitable. To test this claim, player SirSmoken ventured into his beloved ARC Raiders map - the Buried City - on a quest to discover just how much wealth and gear could be obtained during an ordinary daily raid.
Pre-raid Preparations
For this raid, SirSmoken opted for a relatively simple equipment setup:
• Looting MK II: Utilizing the extra enhancement slot to scavenge both equipment and valuable items simultaneously.
• Anvil IV + Silencer: To clear out any ARC enemies encountered along the way.
• Bleta IV + Compensator II + Light Magazine 3: In case of PvP encounters, this setup provides a fighting chance.
• Adrenaline Injector: A standard item to ensure quick movement and a safe escape.
Looting Chronicles: A Surprisingly Promising Start
Upon entering the Buried City, as it was after an expedition and SirSmoken needed to collect ARC Raiders Blueprints, he spawned near the Grandioso Apartments and decided to seize the opportunity to scavenge as many containers as possible in the area.
Initial Gains:
• Basic materials: Metal parts, plastics, chemicals, and other essential materials quickly piled up.
• First snowball: A valuable collectible that fetches a high price.
• Surveillance key: One of SirSmoken's favorite keys, known for yielding a wealth of goodies.
During the exploration, SirSmoken encountered other players. Despite feeling a bit nervous, he continued his scavenging spree. Soon, he found his first precious snowball figurine and secured another surveillance key, a highly practical item in the game that can bring in significant value. Additionally, he collected items like a bicycle pump and ziplines. Although some of these items required further disassembly to fully realize their potential, he took them all for now.
As he delved deeper into the city, SirSmoken reached some popular areas. Although he anticipated that these places might have already been scavenged, he decided to take a chance. In one spot, he found an unscavenged cabinet and obtained much-needed items such as durable fabric and tape. On his way to other areas, he also came across a dog collar, an item easily found throughout the Buried City for players aiming to reach level one on Scrappy.
Unexpected Discoveries: Underrated Treasure Troves
During the scavenging process, SirSmoken stumbled upon several areas that were completely untouched!
★ Pointy Roof Area:
• Here, he finally got his hands on the first Snap Hook (grapple hook) of the season! This item can significantly enhance movement efficiency across the map.
• Double snowballs! He opened two in a row, making an instant profit.
★ Santa Maria Housing District:
• This was SirSmoken's favorite scavenging spot on the entire map.
• It was brimming with all kinds of valuable items and materials.
★ Red Tower:
• If you're looking for a cat bed or an ultra-comfortable pillow, this place is a guaranteed find.
• There's often a backpack spawn point in a corner of the roof that goes largely unnoticed.
• The most outrageous part was that he found two snowballs simultaneously in one room!
Why Are Daytime Raids Underrated
Currently, everyone is obsessed with the hurricane event, causing ordinary maps to be sparsely populated. This, in turn, has created a golden opportunity:
• Less competition: The majority of players are flocking to the hurricane maps.
• Abundant resources: There are countless unscavenged spots everywhere.
• Lower risk: The probability of encountering PvP is greatly reduced.
If you're looking to quickly accumulate ARC Raiders Coins, this is the perfect time to take advantage of these quiet lobbies. Each valuable item you extract can be sold for coins, and with fewer players competing, your profit per run increases significantly.
Conclusion
This raid yielded astonishing results for SirSmoken. Not only did he collect a large quantity of basic materials like chemicals and metal components, but he also obtained many precious items in ARC Raiders, such as a quick-release buckle, three snowball figurines, and a spear remix tape. Moreover, he accumulated a decent amount of cash, which could be used to purchase more adrenaline injectors and ammunition. Although he only obtained one blueprint, his main goal was to gather materials, so he wasn't overly concerned about the blueprint haul.
This daily raid in the Buried City has clearly demonstrated that even when everyone is focused on the hurricane raids, regular daily raids can still bring in substantial rewards. The Buried City, during the day, offers a rich supply of ARC Raiders gold and items. Whether you're seARChing for rare collectibles or aiming to earn cash, this place is an excellent choice. For players interested in ARC Raiders content, a daily raid in the Buried City is definitely worth a try.
