All Weapon Case Locations in ARC Raiders

Weapon cases are an easy way to get weapons without crafting them and spending resources. They are also one of the most profitable ways to farm money and increase your inventory value. In this guide, we cover all weapon case locations in ARC Raiders for each map. Read to learn how to farm weapon cases effectively.

Learn about All Weapon Case Locations in ARC Raiders

Weapon cases are one of the most sought-after loot spawns in ARC Raiders. No wonder, as they have a chance of spawning Rare and Epic weapons, which in turn help you in your future raids and indirectly increase the chance of getting better goodies. Though a higher-rarity weapon doesn't guarantee an automatic win in a gunfight, some weapons like Tempest, Vulcano, or Renegade dominate over every other weapon even in their stock options. This is especially noticeable now that Kettle and Stitcher have been nerfed. Now, there's a point in using higher rarity weapons, since Common ones will not win you the gunfights that easily. Knowing this, we've decided to write an ARC Raiders weapon case guide. We'll cover every map in the game.

Though finding weapons is a great way to skip the grind for crafting materials, some weapons, like Tempest and Vulcano, are hard to come by. They're much easier to craft if you have a blueprint, so check out our ARC Raiders Blueprints service! You can buy any blueprint you want for a very low price.

ARC Raiders Weapon Case Locations

With 5 maps in the game, we currently know of over 140 weapon case locations. In this article, we’re covering where to find weapon crates in ARC Raiders. Dam Battlegrounds, by far, has the most amount of possible case spawns out of every map available, but it's not the most efficient map to farm them. Spaceport takes the cake here, with its convenient loot route that will lead you through all the watchtowers and a couple of locations. Other maps are nothing to scoff at as well, even if they don't have as many loot crates. Stella Montis, for instance, only has 18 confirmed, but it compensates for that with higher-quality loot drops there.

Here's how many ARC Raiders weapon case locations we know of:

  1. Dam Battlegrounds: 33 weapon crates
  2. Buried City: 33 weapon crates
  3. Spaceport: 30 weapon crates
  4. Blue Gate: 28 weapon crates
  5. Stella Montis: 18 weapon crates

Before we start listing the crate locations, we need to say that we won't include screenshots of the locations. Instead, we'll provide as clear instructions as we can on how to find them. Another point is that some crates will be described in a single location because they spawn close to each other. With that out of the way, let's jump into listing them all.

Dam Battlegrounds Weapon Case Locations

Dam Battlegrounds is considered to be the first map most players will play on. It has a clear layout with few ARCs patrolling it, which helps you learn the ropes of the game. This map also has the largest number of crate spawns by far. They're so abundant here that you're almost guaranteed to find a couple of them, especially in some less popular locations among players. We'll start with colored loot zones and then move on to normal locations. Let's list all the Dam Battlegrounds weapon case locations in this table below:

Map Number

Location 

Description

1

Control Tower Key Room

Near the consoles opposite the entrance, and two might spawn to the left of the stairs, near the lockers.

2

Control Tower Lower Floor

On the first floor of the Control Tower / Research & Administration, find a barricaded door leading to the elevator shafts that take you to the top of the Control Tower. Don't go there, instead turn left into the door that leads to the room with stairs. Go down the stairs and look under them. Beneath one of the shelves, you'll find a weapon crate.

3

Research & Administration

Go through the main entrance and go up the elevator shaft to the second floor. Turn left and go through the corridor until you see a couch at the end of it. Behind it is a weapon case.

4

Red Lakes Balcony Sewer Entrance

Find a big sewage drainage leading to the Red Lakes, right under the Control Tower back entrance, where a Leaper occasionally spawns. Go straight until you see a ruined sewer with scaffolding. Turn left from the leftmost small sewage drain, and you'll find a weapon crate there.

5

Hydroponic Dome Complex Southwest Building

One can be found lying on the ground in the westmost part of the building. Another can spawn on the ground next to the dirty pools of water, left of the console with a PC on it.

6

Hydroponic Dome Complex Eastern Building

Go inside from the south entrance and turn right when you see scaffolding with cloth on it. You'll find the weapon crate on the scaffolding shelf.

7

Water Treatment Key Room

Open the room, and you'll see it on the console or beneath it.

8

Water Treatment Lab Room

If you enter the building from the south entrance, turn right and go through the alarm gate. On your left, you'll see a large table. On it, a weapon crate may spawn.

9

Water Treatment Elevator Pipes

On top of the pipes closer to the Water Treatment facility, you might find a weapon crate.

10

Power Generation Complex

From the Field Depot, go Northwest to reach the power generation units. Look to your right. Behind the second power unit, next to the wooden pallet.

11

Broken Highway East of the Raider Outpost

At the very end of the broken highway, you can slowly walk backwards and drop down. When dropping down, press the Jump button, and your character will climb into a small space under the highway with a weapon case in it.

12

Formicai Outpost

One spawns inside the tower, and another will require you to do a bit of parkour. Climb to the top of the scaffolding inside the same room. Look around, and you'll see two tanks and behind them a scaffolding with a weapon crate on it.

13

Truck East of Testing Annex

A little raider camp to the east of Testing Annex and to the south of Electrical Tower. You'll find a weapon crate in the back of a broken truck.

14

Camp between R&A and Testing Annex

Southwest of the Field Depot, you may find a raider camp. If you go up the tower, you might jump onto one of the structures from there, and on top of it, there will be a weapon case.

15

Control Tower Floodgates

It is easier to find it if you reach the R&A building from the Northwest. You'll find an entrance with stairs behind it that lead down. At the end of them, you'll find a platform with a console that activates the drawbridge. Once the bridge lowers, cross it and open the barricaded room to your left.

16

South of the Breach

When heading towards the Floodgates from the Breach's side. Go into the doorway underneath the Floodgates and turn left. In the corner of this location, you'll find a weapon crate.

17

Broken Bridge to Floodgates

Same as in the previous case, head towards the Floodgates, but this time don't go into a doorway. Look under a large, broken section of the bridge leading to the Floodgate catwalks.

18

Broken Floodgate Building

One of the broken Floodgate towers is lying in the dirt east of the Breach area. Inside it, you'll find a weapon case.

19

Pipeline Tower Roof

To reach the top, bring a zipline. Find the pipes and follow them to get to the weapon case. Another case can spawn on the very top of the roof area.

20

Rusted Catwalk Bridge

Southwest of the Pipeline Tower, you'll find a broken, rusted bridge facing the Breach. You can get up there by stairs. At the end of it, you'll find a case.

21

Treehouse and a Car

This one's gonna be hard to explain. It's hidden well. From the southern Hydroponic Dome Complex building, go south. If you draw the line, it's right under letter P in Hydroponic. You'll find a treehouse with a car that serves as a stairway.

22

Southeast of the Treehouse

Head Southeast until you find a large concrete rectangle. South of it, you'll find a small clearing with a crate just lying there.

23

South Swamp Outpost

This place can spawn three weapon chests. One of the cases can be found on the couch inside it. Another one can be found underneath the stairs leading to the outpost's first floor. The final one is on the rooftop. You can reach it by going up the stairs.

24

Water Towers

The roof of each Water Tower has a chance to have a weapon crate there. You can't reach it normally, so you'd need a Zipline to reach each of them.

25

Formicai Hills Radio Tower

Right between Water Towers and Formicai Outpost, you may find a radio tower that's unmarked on the map. You can go up to the tower from the east side of the hill. Outside of the only small building there, you may find a weapon case.

26

East of the Wreckage

Find the Wreckage on the map and go East. You'll find a small rusted container, on top of which you might find a weapon case.

The best way to farm cases is to go to lesser-known locations, as the chance of looting is minimal there. Some of the locations, for instance, the Floodgate Drawbridge, will almost always be looted if you weren't lucky enough to spawn early into the game. Avoiding high-traffic areas will help you stay rich and safe.

Buried City Weapon Case Locations ARC Raiders

Buried City is one of the more generous maps in the game, offering many opportunities to farm weapon cases. The majority of the locations are well-known by other players, so you'll mostly rely on your luck to get them here. Most cases are spread across the southern part of the map, particularly around Old Town. Take a look at all Buried City weapon case locations in ARC Raiders:

Map Number

Location 

Description

1

Space Travel JKV Key

Head to the fourth floor of Space Travel and open the locked door.

2

Hospital Rooftop

Use a Zipline to get there from the Galleria rooftop. Inside the only building on top of it, you'll find a case.

3

Town Hall

You'll need a key to get inside this building. One crate is opposite the entrance. Another one can be found on the top floor, above the old electrical unit. The final case can be found to the left of the previous one, on the couch.

4

Rooftop of Research

Find a way to reach the rooftops, and you'll find a crate next to the ventilation shaft.

5-6

Library Rooftop

Both of the cases here spawn on the rooftop. One can be found on the East side, and another on the North.

7

Northern Grandioso Rooftop

Go up the rappel in the elevator shaft and then go up the stairs. Head outside and turn right. You'll find one weapon case next to a ventilation unit or on top of the roof exit.

8

Grandioso Apartments Locked Room

Go to the very first floor through the elevator shaft. Turn right from it and go through the doorway. Open the door, and you may find not one but two cases inside.

9

Building Right to Abandoned Highway Camp

One of the more popular places to loot at the start of the round. Reach the northern part of this building's roof, then look down. You'll see an open window to the second floor. You need to make a jump to get in.

10

Main Street Locked Door

You'll need a key to open this building on Main Street. The case usually lies on the mattress.

11

Corso Da Vinci Highway

Head southeast down the highway, and you'll find a truck. In its trunk is the weapon crate.

12-15

Santa Maria Houses

This whole area is full of cases. First is on the east of the location. Enter from the street, turn right until you see the stairs. On the platform above them. The second crate is west of the location. Find a window connected to a bridge on the top floor of the building. Turn right immediately when you enter. The last two can be found inside the Santa Maria Houses. One of them is in the room below the attic, marked 14 on the map. Then go out of this room into a sand-filled area, drop down, and turn around.

16

Old Town Fountain

Find the fountain in the middle of the Old Town map location. The case is in it.

17

Red Tower Cases

One of them can be found outside, on the platform beneath the tower. Another one is inside the building, reachable through a broken wall. It'll be above the stairs, next to the lockers.

18-19

Piazza Arbusto

One of the cases is in the building opposite the Pharmacia. Head through the broken wall from the south of the building and turn left. Next to the railing. Another one is further down South, in the belltower of sorts. Climb to the roof, and you'll find it no problem.

20

West Village

Building to the North of the Grandioso has a zipline you can use. While ziplining, you'll see a platform to your left. Jump on it, and you'll find a secret room with a weapon case.

21

North of Corso da Vinci

Going northside from the Corso da Vinci, you'll see a building with a hole in the wall. Go inside, walk up the stairs, and turn left into the kitchen area. On top of the kitchen table.

22

Further up North

Walk between the buildings from the place we've just been to. Jump into the first open window you'll see to your left, and right there is a weapon crate.

23

Attic in the Opposite Building

Go up to the attic of the building opposite 22. The crate is right next to the zipline.

24

Marano Park Fountain

Same as with the Old Town fountain. Just check it, and you won't miss it.

25

Galleria 

Zipline needed. A big sign with the Galleria logo on it. You need to get there for one of the quests. Aim the Zipline slightly above the sign, as the placement is a little tricky.

26

Magazine Shack

Southwest of the Library, you may find a small magazine shack. Behind it, you'll find a weapon case.

27

Marano Station Sign

Climb to the roof using the abandoned trains, and next to the sign is the case.

28

Marano Station Barricaded Door

Further North you'll find a barricaded door. Open it, and you'll find the case.

29

Marano Station Bus

Northeast of the barricaded door, you'll find a broken bus. The case is on the panel.

30

Parking Garage Raider Camp

Open a barricaded door leading to the elevator shaft. Jump down, and you'll find yourself in a raider camp. Look around, and you'll find the weapon case.

While there are plenty of cases in the Buried City, most of them are easy to get, which makes farming them a race to see who spawns earlier into the round. Some of our recommended cases are the Marano Park Sign, the southmost Piazza Arbusto belltower, and the cases north of Corso da Vinci. Not many people know about them, so you have a higher chance of looting them. Don't bother with the barricaded door at Marano Station and the Parking Garage camp. BLOG20

ARC Raiders Spaceport Weapon Crates

Spaceport is the best map to farm weapon cases in Arc Raiders. They are extremely easy to find here, and the loot routes allow you to quickly get from one to another. Because of this, there's high competition to get them, and the places with them are filled with players. Expect some PvP if any player sees you with a desirable gun that you've just grabbed. Check out the ARC Raiders Spaceport weapon crates:

Map Number

Location 

Description

1

Control Tower A6

Key required. Open the door and rappel up the elevator shaft. You'll find a crate near one of the control panels.

2

Departure Building

One crate can be found inside the shower area, not far from the reception area. Another can be found on one of the tables on the second floor of the building, or in one of the cubicle tables.

3-6

Arrival Building

One is on the roof, which you can get to by using a ladder outside, closer to the Shipping Warehouse area. Another one is on the top floor, behind the barricaded door in the southern part of the building. The third one can be found at the bottom of the elevator shaft opposite the barricaded door. The final one is on the ground floor, in the southern, barricaded room that faces the Car Park. Tucked in a corner between two servers.

7

Container Storage

Locked behind a door, you'll have no problem finding it once inside.

8-10

Launch Towers

At the bottom of the Launch Towers, behind one of the walls. Two other crates are at the top of the Launch Towers. Ride the east tower elevator zipline to the top and look around. In one of the corners of the communication tower. Another one can spawn at the very top of the Launch Towers. It'll either be under the stairs or close to the railings facing the rocket shaft.

11

Rocket Assembly

Climb onto the pipes outside of the building on the eastern side.

12-14

South & North Trench Towers

Two of the weapon cases require a key to open the towers and are located on the second floor. The third one is located at the top of the ventilation shaft in the North Trench Tower.

15

Vehicle Maintenance

On the second floor, in the southeast part of the building, in the office overlooking the first floor, right on the couch.

16

Shipping Warehouse

Behind the closed door. Near one of the walls. You won't miss it.

17

Watchtower Between Arrival and Departure

Get to the upper room. Can spawn anywhere inside.

18

Watchtower West of A6 Tower

Same as before, get to the top floor.

19

Watchtower South of Vehicle Maintenance

Same idea, always go for the top floor.

20

Hidden Bunker Crates

Only active during, you guessed it, the Hidden Bunker event. Best places to look for the Vulcano blueprint.

21

Fuel Lines

East of the nearby Field Depot, a vertical cylindrical pipe. You'll need to climb inside.

22

Security Terminal South of Container Storage

One of the small security booths, it will lie on the ground.

23

East Container Yard

At the end of the lower container yard, between the two catwalks east of the raider hatch.

24

West of La Chiesa

Near one of the spheres.

25-27

Spaceport Tunnels

You can find the entrances to the tunnels everywhere around the Launch Towers areas. We recommend starting at one end of the tunnel and moving forward until you reach the other end. The cases are usually inside the rooms with consoles, and one of them is at the southeastern end of the tunnel, in a small camp.

Despite not having many places to loot weapon cases, their density makes up for it. This is simultaneously an upside and a downside, as there are practically no hidden weapon crates around this area. We recommend looting the Fuel Lines crate, the East Container Yard crate, and the Spaceport Tunnels. If you are feeling risky, you can loot all of the Arrival Building, Departure Building, and the watchtower between them.

Blue Gate Weapon Case Locations ARC Raiders

Blue Gate is the map that has some of the more interestingly placed weapon crates. They are all pretty scattered, so jumping in with a free kit and just quickly vacuuming all the weapon crates, while praying no one attacks you, like on the Spaceport, is not an option here. In addition, there are more rooms with cases that are locked by a key or a puzzle here than on any other map. Then again, if you know where to loot, this shouldn't be such a big problem. Check out the Blue Gate weapon case locations in ARC Raiders:

Map Number

Location 

Description

1

Checkpoint Between Rails

On your way to the underground complex, you may find a rail separating two broken roads with cars on them. Between them, you'll find a case.

2

Inside the Bus at Checkpoint

Further down the road, you'll find a broken bus, inside of which is a crate.

3

Truck Trunk

Southeast of the Checkpoint area, a truck is parked under the shelter. Crate's on its trunk.

4

Concrete Beams

Above the Underground entrance area, there are concrete beams that you can zipline to from below. On one of the couches is a weapon crate.

5

Vent above the Underground Complex

If you go North from the concrete beams, you'll find a ladder. Go down and turn left to go through the door. Advance through the corridor until you find a stairway with a zipline in the center. Go to the very bottom of it, and you'll find a weapon crate hidden under the stairs.

6

Top of the Pilgrim's Peak

Zipline up to the very top of the Pilgrim's Peak tower. You'll find a crate near the couch.

7

Pilgrim's Peak Locked Door

Obviously, requires a key. Open the door, and the crate is there.

8

Security Wing

Requires a Comms Tower Key. A weapon case and some other really decent loot can be found here.

9

Maintenance Wing in the Vent

To get to this place, you'll need to find an unmarked zipline entrance. Refer to the map above to understand where you need to go. Just go down the zipline and look around. The weapon crate that spawns here can be pretty tricky to get, but they almost always spawn here.

10

Warehouse Complex Middle Walkway

Go up to the top floor and find the middle walkway. At the end of it.

11

Village Belltower

At the very South of the location, you'll need a Zipline to get there, which makes it a very unreliable place to loot, since weapon crates aren't guaranteed to spawn.

12

Village Locked Room

A locked building in the eastern part of the Village. It doesn't spawn there often, but that's from our experience.

13

Raider's Refuge Second Floor

Use the ladder to climb to the belltower and then drop down into a small camp. The case should be there.

14

Hidden in the Bushes

North of the Raider's Refuge, hidden inside the bushes, watch closely.

15

East of the Refuge

One of the cellars with the potential location of the buttons that activate the locked Refuge door.

16

Further to the East

Inside another cellar, where you can find one of the buttons to activate a Raider's Refuge door.

17

Ancient Fort Cellar

Requires solving the puzzle. Find the Fuel Cells scattered around the area and place them in the battery slots in the Ancient Fort to open it.

18

Trapper's Glade South

One of the shack's ruins has a crate on top of it.

19

Adorned Wreckage Top

Climb to the top of the large construction in the Adorned Wreckage. The crate should spawn there. Watch out for Leaper that frequently spawns here.

20

Highway Collapse Bus

Above the location name is a bus where you can find a weapon case.

21

Tower South of the Gate Control Room

At the top of the ladder. The tower is above the Underground entrance.

22

Reinforced Reception Rib

You can find a weapon crate tucked between two ribs of the building.

23

Data Vault

Head down the stairs and turn right. This location is frequently guarded by a turret. The crate usually spawns below it.

24

End of the Right Tunnel

In the Traffic Tunnel, if you go to the very end of the right road, you'll reach a dead end. There are three possible crate spawns here, so look around.

25

End of the Left Tunnel

Same story here, reach the end of the Traffic Tunnel, and you might find a weapon case.

26

Patrol Car inside the Tunnels

Most Patrol Cars contain weapon crates inside them.

27

Headhouse Rims

Reach the Headhouse and go inside. Look to the outer rims right above the Trafic Tunnel of this circular structure, and you might find one or even two crates on them. They're sometimes guarded by turrets.

28

Inside the Mantikor Room

This room can be accessed through Reinforced Reception. Go down the elevator shaft and look around to find Fuel Cells. Bring them to the Mantikor Room. You'll need three Cells to open the door. Be very careful, since anyone can take them out and lock you inside this room.

A fun and pretty safe map to loot, thanks to its vast layout and many secrets to uncover. It's also one of the downsides of this map, as you can't quickly traverse between the weapon cases. We'd say that the ARCs here provide more danger than any of the Raiders you might meet.

Stella Montis Weapon Case Locations ARC Raiders

The latest added map, Stella Montis, has only 18 possible weapon case spawns. Its maze-like layout makes it a headache to navigate through until you learn it well enough. It can be potentially farmed for the weapon crates, but only after you spend a decent amount of time remembering the paths to follow. It is well worth it, as the Night mode of this map is a real treasury with lots of Epic guns and blueprints for them. Here are Stella Montis weapon case locations:

Map Number

Location 

Description

1

Medical Research

It's right on top of the server things in the northern part of the area. Be careful with other Raiders and Shredders.

2

Seed Vault Left Hallway

First, you need to open the door with a Fuel Cell. Find them nearby. Then, when you enter the area, hug the left wall, and you should quickly find a weapon crate.

3

Seed Vault Central Hallway

In the middle of the area, right outside the door from the left hallway.

4

Seed Vault Right Hallway

In the middle of the area again, you'll see if it spawned in when going through the large door.

5

Cultural Archives

In the Storage Room, locked away with a keycard.

6

Assembly Workshops Hanged Thruster

Inside the thruster. You can get there either by parkouring, it's easier to do from the second floor of the left Assembly Workshop. Alternatively, you can use a slow elevator right beneath it, but it's riskier.

7

Assembly Left Workshop

Speaking of the second floor. You might find a weapon crate just lying on the floor there.

8

Assembly Right Workshop

In the same place as the left Assembly Workshop.

9

Lobby Under the Stairs

Go down to the first floor of the Lobby where you'd use the Security key to unlock the room. Under the stairs is the crate spawn.

10

Lobby Security Bridge

The right side of the Security Bridge has a weapon crate lying in the open.

11

Lobby Security Bridge Left Side

Cross the bridge and go left to the door, where you can find a weapon crate.

12

Sandbox 

If you go from the Assembly and continue down the path, you'll see a sand-covered area with Rovers. The crate lies in the middle of the area, but it's always flooded with Shredders.

13

North of the Sandbox

There's a locked room you need to open. You can find three Fuel Cells nearby. It's reminiscent of the Mantikor room on the Blue Gate.

14

Auditorium 

There are a few possible weapon crate spawns here. One is behind the teacher's desk or in front of it, and another one is next to one of the walls of the location.

15

Business Center East

Another crate spawns under the Astraventuro poster, to the East of the Auditorium.

16

Atrium Star Statue

Get to the second floor of the Atrium and look at the statue. You may find a crate sitting on top of it.

17

Between Cargo Docks

A weapon crate can be found on one of the containers in the South of the area, between Cargo Dock A and B.

18

Rails Between Cargo Docks

One crate can be seen lying on the railcar.

Most of the Stella Montis crates are pretty dangerous to get, but the loot in them is oftentimes well worth it even on the normal map. To increase your odds of getting crazy loot, visit this area at night. If you aren't hostile towards other players, you might just get into a friendly lobby and loot everything to your heart's content.

F.A.Q

Are weapon case spawns guaranteed every raid in ARC Raiders?

 

No, they're not. It is unknown what chance there is for a weapon case to spawn, but it feels like some cases spawn more frequently than others.

 

What’s ARC Raiders best map for weapon case farming?

 

It is Spaceport, thanks to the fact that there are plenty of weapon cases located within the vicinity of each other.

Do weapon case locations in ARC Raiders change between seasons or patches?

 

As far as we know, they don't. The developers might add new ones, but they don't change the location of previously placed crates.

In ARC Raiders can weapon cases drop high-tier or rare weapons?

 

Yes, especially if you loot them during the Dynamic Events.

Is it better to rush weapon cases early or check them later in ARC Raiders?

 

Most players are after them, so if you are lucky enough to spawn early, we recommend rushing them ASAP. If not, then try searching less popular locations.

ARC Raiders do weather or map events affect weapon case spawns?

 

Yes, the map events do. During any Dynamic Event, the cases spawn more frequently, and they contain better loot.
