Arc Raiders map – best Expedition loot spots
Loading into a new area in Arc Raiders is pretty impressive, with each one offering a different challenge and a different set of loot you can get your grubby little hands on. We’ve visited each of the maps in Arc Raiders and have all the information you could need.
Access to the Arc Raiders maps is staggered, with more becoming available as you complete rounds. This is to ensure you have a firm grip of the basics covered, we assume, because the later locations can eat a Raider alive if they don’t know what they’re doing. Here are all the maps in Arc Raiders and the best loot spots if you’re attempting an expedition.
Best expedition loot spots
Although gearing up for an Arc Raiders expedition can be a gradual process, there will be a time when you have to go out there with a specific goal in mind. We have the best, most convenient loot spots for each stage of each expedition, so you can complete it as quickly as possible. We have narrowed most items down to Dam Battlegrounds, as it is generally the easiest map to get around, and is usually home to the least aggressive players.
