ARC Raiders Complete Loot Table Guide

If you’ve spent any time looting in ARC Raiders, you know the struggle is real. There are dozens of materials scattered across the map, containers are randomized, and figuring out where to find that one specific item for an upgrade can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Good news: I’ve compiled every single resource, material, and recyclable item in the game into one comprehensive guide. Whether you’re hunting for Sentinel Firing Cores, trying to stockpile Mechanical Components, or wondering what the heck to do with that Rubber Duck you just looted—this is your resource bible.

Complete Resource & Loot Table Guide for ARC Raiders

Table of Contents

How to Use This Loot Table

Before diving into the massive list below, let me explain how to make the most of this information. The loot table is organized with several key columns that tell you everything you need to know about each item:

Understanding the Categories

Recycle Drops: Shows what materials you’ll receive when recycling an item at your workbench. If this field is blank, the item can’t be recycled—it’s either used directly or sold to traders.

Known Uses: This is crucial for planning. Look for these labels:

Expeditions: Keep these materials stocked for Expedition runs
Workshop Upgrade: Needed to upgrade benches in your Workshop
Scrappy Upgrades: Required to upgrade your pet rooster (yes, really)
Crafting: General crafting component for weapons, gear, or consumables

Drops From: Your farming guide. These labels correspond to map symbols and zone types:

Random Loot: Can drop anywhere from any container or lying around
Scavenging: Found in containers that require breaching (security doors, locked crates)
ARC Enemies/Wreckages: Specific enemy drops or wreckage loot
Specific Locations: Like “Hydroponic Dome Complex” or “Dam Battlegrounds”

Pro Farming Tips

Use zone-specific farming routes: If you need Electrical Components, prioritize Technological and Electrical zones. Need nature items like Mushrooms? Hit up the Hydroponic Dome Complex.

Recycle strategically: Some items are worth more recycled than sold. For example, recycling a Sentinel Firing Core gives you ARC Alloys and Mechanical Components—both essential for weapon upgrades.

Don’t sleep on trinkets: Items like Lance’s Mixtape (5th Edition) sell for 10,000 coins. That’s serious cash for farming coins fast.

Advanced Farming Strategies

Now that you know what exists and where to find it, here are some pro strategies to maximize your farming efficiency:

Route Optimization

Industrial Runs: Focus on Scrapyards and Mechanical zones for Advanced Mechanical Components, Metal Parts, and vehicle-related loot. Hit every vehicle hood you see—they’re goldmines for components.

Tech Sector Sweeps: Technological and Electrical zones are your go-to for Processors, Sensors, and Electrical Components. These areas also spawn security containers with valuable Mod Components.

Medical Facility Farming: Hospitals and Hydroponic Domes for medical supplies, nature items, and Cracked Bioscanners. Great for Workshop Medical Bench upgrades.

Residential Looting: Don’t overlook residential areas. They’re packed with high-value trinkets (Lance’s Mixtape, Snow Globes) and fabric-based recyclables.

Priority Targeting

When you’re short on backpack space, prioritize:

Epic/Legendary items – Always take these
Workshop upgrade materials – Rusted Gears, Rusted Tools, specific recyclables
High-value trinkets – 3,000+ coin items
Quest items – If you’re actively working on quests
ARC enemy drops – Especially from tougher enemies like Leapers and Rocketeers

Recycling vs. Selling

Always recycle:

Items that give Advanced Components
ARC enemy-specific drops (better material yield than coin value)
Items needed for immediate crafting

Always sell:

Trinkets (they exist solely to be sold)
Duplicate items when you’re already stocked
Low-value recyclables when you need quick cash

Quest-Specific Materials

If you’re working through quests, keep an eye out for these items:

Courier Probe components for A Bad Feeling quest
Wires and Batteries for Trash into Treasure
Rocket Thrusters for Greasing Her Palms
Various components for Reduced to Rubble, With a Trace, and Marked for Death

What’s NOT in This List

This comprehensive loot table doesn’t include:

Keys – These are completely randomized drops
Blueprints – Random drops from specific sources (check our blueprint farming guide)
Ammo – Random loot across all zones
Weapons – Found as loot or crafted from blueprints
Augments – Separate loot category with its own spawn rules

Progression Tips

As you work through your leveling journey, keep these progression priorities in mind:

Early Game (Levels 1-10): Focus on basic materials (Metal Parts, Plastic Parts, Rubber Parts, Fabric) and Simple Gun Parts. Don’t worry about exotic materials yet—just get your Workshop benches to Level 2.

Mid Game (Levels 11-25): Start farming ARC enemies for Alloys, Motion Cores, and enemy-specific drops. Upgrade your Gunsmith to Level 3 with those Sentinel Firing Cores. Begin stockpiling Advanced Components.

Late Game (Level 26+): Hunt Epic materials, farm Leapers and Queens, and complete Exodus missions for exclusive drops. Focus on legendary crafting materials.

Combat & Extraction Considerations

Remember, collecting loot means nothing if you can’t extract successfully. A few tips:

Use Raider Hatch Keys for safe extractions when carrying valuable cargo
Store your most precious items in Safe Pockets to protect them on death
Know when to cut your losses—dying with a full inventory of Epic items hurts more than extracting with half your loot
Be aware of Security Breach mechanics when looting secured containers

Map Resources & Tools

For visual learners and those who want exact map coordinates, check out the interactive maps referenced at the start of the loot table. These maps show:

Container spawn locations
Zone type indicators (Residential, Industrial, Technological, etc.)
ARC enemy patrol routes
High-value loot areas

Combine this loot table with those maps for maximum farming efficiency.

Resource Management

ARC Raiders is ultimately a game about risk vs. reward. Every raid you enter, you’re gambling your time and your life against the potential loot you’ll extract. Understanding what materials exist, where they spawn, and what they’re worth is the foundation of smart looting.

Don’t try to grab everything—be selective based on your current goals. Need Workshop upgrades? Target specific recyclables. Building weapons? Focus on gun parts and crafting components. Just want quick cash? Snag those trinkets and get out.

The more familiar you become with this loot table, the faster you’ll recognize valuable items in the field and make split-second decisions about what to take and what to leave behind.
