Where are the best loot spots on Arc Raiders? Loading into a new are 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.

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.

New Arc Raiders map
A new Arc Raiders map is coming with the Riven Tides update in April, 2026. We don't know exactly what this is, but based on various bits of concept art, our best guess is an urban area with narrow corridors and long sight lines. An abandoned city could allow Raiders to press height advantages and lose their pursuer through alleyways and ratholes.

All Arc Raiders maps
There are five maps in total, and a practice range for you to try out your new gear.
The Arc Raiders maps are:
- Dam Battlegrounds
- Buried City
- Spaceport
- The Blue Gate
- Stella Montis
