ARC Raiders July 2026 Update: Expedition 4 Registration Bug Fix, Official LFG System and Rubber Duck Design
Recently, the registration window for ARC Raiders' Expedition 4 event opened, allowing players to participate, reset their character progress, and gain permanent buffs. However, a strange bug appeared during the event.
The developers urgently fixed the bug on July 17th and subsequently launched an official team system (LFG system) deeply integrated with player communities, as well as a creative event where the community designed rubber duck collectibles.
If you're still unclear about what's been happening with ARC Raiders lately, keep reading.
Emergency Bug Fix
Cause
According to the game's official announcement, the registration window for ARC Raiders' Expedition 4 opened on July 7th, 2026, and closed on July 21st.
To participate in Expedition 4, players needed to manually register during Expedition window after completing specific tasks.
After registration closed, all registered players would automatically have their character progress reset and participate in the event. However, upon completing Expedition, all participating players would receive rewards such as skill points and Raider Tokens.
The problem lies in a recent in-game quest called Dealing Damage Challenge, which requires players to deal a total of 100,000 damage within a time limit for a reward.
This quest has a bug: many players have reported that after completing the quest, they were automatically registered for Expedition 4, even though they had no intention of participating.
Since participating in Expedition means resetting the character, losing all the valuable items and weapons players have painstakingly collected, not all players are willing to register.
This bug forces players who don't want to register for Expedition, potentially causing them to lose valuable game progress.
Fixed Solution
Fortunately, the developers of ARC Raiders discovered this serious bug and implemented a fix. Specific measures include:
First, the fix will be implemented in batches, with the first wave starting on July 17th. Not all affected accounts will be processed simultaneously.
Second, the developer will selectively cancel Expedition registrations of players whose registration behavior appears to match the characteristics of this bug.
Third, if any player finds themselves still registered due to this bug on July 21st, they can contact game support for assistance.
In addition, the developer reminds players that since the fix is being implemented in batches, they are advised to check their in-game Expedition window multiple times throughout the weekend to confirm their registration status is correct.
Despite the developer's proactive efforts to address this bug, players still have concerns: Will manually registered players be mistakenly canceled? Can they re-register before the bug is fixed? Will new manually registered registrations be removed in subsequent waves?
Currently, all players can do is constantly monitor their Expedition window.
LFG Community Team-Up System
Besides Arc Raiders Expedition 4 registration bug, another highly anticipated piece of game news is that the developer has finally begun working on building a game community team-up system.
In fact, a well-known official player community already has a Looking For Group (LFG) section for players to match teammates by region. However, traditional LFG messages suffer from issues such as information lag and messages remaining visible even when teams are full.
Now, the developers have partnered with this community to launch LFG, introducing several innovative features. Its core innovations include:
First, players can create group-up posts with tags, specifying the activity type (e.g., Casual, Competitive, Questioning, Expedition Prep), gear requirements, or whether a microphone is required.
Second, discussion and voice channels are automatically generated. Each group-up post automatically receives its own discussion thread and voice channel.
Third, players can link their community account to their game account, allowing group-up posts to automatically detect in-game activity sessions and display team availability in real time. Other players can directly request to join active rooms through the community.
The developers describe the system as experimental and will continue to run for the next few weeks. This means that the developers will continue to modify its functionality based on its actual performance.
Rubber Duck Design Contest
Finally, let's introduce a smaller but fun ARC Raiders event: the developers invited players to design new Rubber Duck appearances for the game. The winning design will be implemented in the game for other players to wear.
To participate, you need to submit digital or traditional art designs to the developers within a specified time. However, you must use the official duck template, cannot change the shape, and can only decorate the surface.
After registration closes, the developers will select the top 10 shortlisted designs, and then the community will vote to select the final 3 winners.
These 10 shortlisted designs will receive 2400 Raider Tokens, while the 3 final winners will receive Raider Tokens and their designs will be officially added to the game.
Similar events have successful precedents in other games (such as community-designed weapon skins in Warframe). For ARC Raiders, inviting players to directly contribute game content helps enhance player engagement and adds unique personalized elements to the game.
That concludes the introduction to recent ARC Raiders news. If you're interested in this article, you can follow EZG Facebook. We will continue to provide more game-related information and will give away valuable in-game items to our followers in the future.
Finally, a reminder: Before Expedition window closes on July 21st, players must repeatedly check the in-game Expedition window to confirm their registration status.
ARC Raiders Expedition 4 Damage Challenge: Is 100K Damage Really That Hard to Complete?
When players first saw ARC Raiders Expedition 4 challenge requiring them to accumulate 100,000 damage, many initially thought it would be an extremely time-consuming and even insurmountable challenge.
However, according to EZG's actual testing, this task isn't as difficult as it seems. While the number appears staggering, with the right approach during normal gameplay, you can quickly accumulate progress.
This guide will detail how to complete ARC Raiders Expedition 4 Damage Challenge and the specific rules of the new Catch Up mechanism to help you complete it faster.
Task Requirements
In ARC Raiders Expedition 4, whether it's your first time participating or you've completed multiple Expeditions, you need to complete Damage Challenge before July 21st to progress.
The goal of this challenge is very simple: accumulate 100,000 damage against destructible targets in ARC Raiders. This damage includes not only ARC machines but also Raider player characters and other attackable targets.
Many players initially misunderstood this quest; successful extraction isn't required to gain damage progress. If you defeat an ARC enemy in a raid, the damage dealt is recorded and won't disappear even if your character dies or doesn't finish them off.
EZG testing revealed that playing ARC Raiders for a few hours normally easily yields over 30K damage progress. Even without specifically grinding the quest, progress is rapid simply by completing Trials, exploring the map, and gathering resources.
ARC Objectives
The difference in damage progress provided by different ARC Raider units is significant. Smaller ARCs, such as Ticks and Pops, offer very little progress, requiring many kills to complete the quest.
In contrast, killing medium to large ARCs is significantly more efficient. Bombardiers provide approximately 2,600 to 2,700 damage, Leapers around 1,100 damage, while large boss-level ARCs like Queen and Matriarch can provide close to 10,000 damage in a single hit.
Therefore, if your goal is to quickly complete ARC Raiders 100K challenge, you should prioritize targeting large ARCs rather than spending a lot of time killing low-level units.
It's worth noting that the official ARC Raiders website mentioned that a Bastion provides 5000 progress points, leading many players to believe that completing 100K challenge requires killing 20 Bastions. However, based on testing, EZG observed that the actual progress gained isn't that high.
In ARC Raiders, a Bastion actually provides only about 2,600 Damage Challenge progress points, not 5,000. The 5,000 point figure is more likely related to the experience reward after the kill, rather than damage calculation within the challenge.
This may be related to the armor mechanics of ARC Raiders. Bastions and some high-level ARCs possess black armor, which is very difficult to break, requiring a large amount of ammunition to defeat, and the damage dealt doesn't fully convert into Damage Challenge progress.
Conversely, some ARCs with thinner armor, such as Bombardier or Vaporizer, while seemingly easier to kill, have a higher damage conversion rate. Therefore, when facing 100K Damage Challenge, higher health enemies aren't necessarily more worthwhile to farm.
Recommended Method
Choosing high-damage ARC Raiders Items is key to maximizing efficiency. Jupiter, Hullcracker, Deadline, and Wolfpack are all highly recommended. Among these, Jupiter is particularly suitable for farming ARC damage.
It boasts excellent long-range damage output, allowing players to attack ARC targets while maintaining a safe distance and quickly accumulate challenge progress. For large ARC battles like Queen or Matriarch Events, it's advisable to prepare ample ammunition beforehand and maintain continuous damage output to maximize the damage gain from each event.
Currently, Harvester Event and Matriarch Event are highly efficient areas for completing Damage Challenge, helping you find high-health targets and accumulate damage more quickly. However, it's important to note that these locations are very popular, and multiple players may attack the same boss simultaneously. Therefore, don't rely on achieving high damage output in every run.
Adjusting your route flexibly based on the actual situation and restarting the raid if necessary will actually maintain a more consistent completion rate.
Reward Changes
The reward mechanism is different this time. Previously, Expedition primarily rewarded Skill Points, but Expedition 4 no longer provides new Skill Points. Instead, it rewards Stash Expansions, Raider Tokens, and random blueprints.
Completing multiple stages of Damage Challenge will earn your Raider Tokens and a chance to obtain random Blueprints from the official reward list. These blueprints are very valuable for subsequent expeditions, as they may grant you powerful gear at the start of expedition.
However, this also introduces an additional problem: if a player already possesses an ARC Raiders Blueprint saved in Expedition Vault, the random rewards may overlap with it, leading some players to believe that the new system conflicts with Vault mechanism.
Catch Up Guide
ARC Raiders has added a Catch Up mechanism for players who missed some Expeditions, but it's not available to all players. Only players who meet specific conditions can recover previously missed rewards.
If you completed Caravan of a previous Expedition but didn't complete the final challenge stage, such as Coin Mission or Damage Challenge, you'll have a chance to recover missing Skill Points through Catch Up. If you didn't even complete Caravan and only registered for Expedition, you won't receive compensation.
Catch Up costs coins; each Skill Point costs 300,000 Coins, and you can recover a maximum of 5 Skill Points, meaning you need to prepare 1.5 million Coins.

ARC Raiders Expedition 4 Damage Challenge isn't a hard task that requires a huge time investment. With the right approach, most players can complete 100K Damage Challenge before July 21st and prepare for subsequent Expeditions.
ARC Raiders Trials Season 5: Complete Week 2 Trials Guide with Best Locations & Tips
Starting July 7, 2026, ARC Raiders' Trials Season 5 has officially begun, bringing new challenges and opportunities to all players eager to test their skills.
Trials Season 5 introduces new skin rewards, new rankings, and new Trials. Week 2 Trials are now officially available in the game for players to challenge.
If you're still unfamiliar with Trials Season 5, or need a Week 2 Trials guide, continue reading.
Trials Season 5
Trials are a gameplay mode in ARC Raiders with a very clear mechanism: the system releases five challenging Trials each week, and players earn Trial Points by completing these Trials.
The true essence of Trials lies in its leaderboard mechanism: players are assigned to groups of 100 players of the same rank, and rankings are based on each player's highest individual score across the five Trials of week. Trials Season is the seasonal ranking challenge system for Trials.
Trials Season 5, themed Prove Your Mettle, runs from July 7th to September 30th, 2026. As usual, this season brings weekly updated Trials and various rewards.
Below, I will detail the updates worth noting for players this season.
Trials Changes
This season features significant changes to Trials system, primarily aimed at increasing mission diversity. As the developers have explicitly stated, the new season's Trials will focus more on testing players' equipment planning and adaptability.
These changes are mainly reflected in the following two aspects:
First, this season adds challenges requiring players to use specific weapons to attack specific types of ARC enemies. For example, this week's trial, "Destroy Snitches with Stitcher".
These missions no longer simply test players' damage output but require a precise understanding of enemy characteristics and weapon parameters.
Second, high-risk survival challenges have been added. Now, some Trials will directly require players to withstand explosive damage, testing their damage mitigation abilities and positioning awareness.
Core Rewards
The ultimate reward for Trials Season 5 is a heavy armor-themed outfit called The Scorta.
Different color variants are unlocked based on the player's final rank at the end of the season. Only top players who reach Hotshot or Cantina Legend rank will receive the red and blue version.
Other season rewards include Green Bruiser Backpack, Pressure Gauge Backpack Charm, Hydraulic Pump Backpack attachment, and Come at me Emote.
Week 2 Trials
Week 2 Trials for ARC Raiders Trials Season 5 are now live. While this week's challenges may seem straightforward, each one has hidden challenges. They are:
- Open Containers in the Swasmp
- Search Lockers
- Damage ARC Enemies Using a Single Deadline
- Destroy Snitches with Stitcher
- Damage ARC with The Rascal
Open Containers in the Swasmp
The first trial is a typical area search mission with a clear objective - the swamp area in Dam Battlegrounds.
This area includes several locations such as Hydroponics Dome Complex and South Swamp Outpost, all scattered with numerous containers and Weapon Crates.
Opening any container within the swamp area advances this trial, awarding 200 points for each container opened.
Search Lockers
This is the most basic mission of the week. You need to search for green and red lockers on the map.
Spaceport is the ideal location for this challenge, as the map is filled with lockers. Additionally, the area behind the third floor of Buried City and the ground floor of Research Building are also densely populated locker spawn points.
Damage ARC Enemies Using a Single Deadline
The core trap of this trial is "a single". That is, it requires players to inflict as much damage as possible with a single Deadline. The higher the damage dealt, the higher the score.
In ARC Raiders, Deadlines are particularly effective against heavy ARC enemies, especially Bastion and Bombardier, so players can target them.
Players can sneak up behind these enemies and place mines near their weak points to detonate and maximize damage.
Destroy Snitches with Stitcher
This is a highly skill-based trial. Snitches are aerial reconnaissance units, and their core weak point is their bottom. Stitcher are submachine guns with low base damage.
Therefore, the correct approach is to first weaken Snitches with other high-damage weapons or shoot their weak points, then finish them off with a Stitcher.
Players can undertake this trial in Buried City, as the map's dense architecture allows players to easily gain high ground and approach Snitches, who sometimes get stuck in buildings and perish.
Damage ARC with The Rascal
Rascal in ARC Raiders is a single-shot grenade launcher with decent damage but a slow reload.
Since the goal of this trial is to deal damage rather than kill ARC enemies, prioritize light, clustered ARC enemies such as Popps, Fireballs, Wasps, and Hornets to inflict massive damage in one shot.
However, players should avoid using this weapon against heavily armored ARC enemies to prevent being put in danger due to low damage output.
Rascal's Blueprint can be randomly obtained by exploring Security Lockers or in Map Conditions such as Hurricane and Night Raid.
This concludes the detailed introduction to Trials Season 5 and this week's Week 2 Trials in ARC Raiders.
If this article helped you complete Week 2 Trials this week, you can follow EZG Facebook. We will continue to provide more game guides and give away valuable gifts to our followers in the future.
If you are not interested in the rewards of Trials Season 5, you can intentionally lower your rank so that you can be placed in a less competitive group in Trials Season 6, making it easier to improve your ranking and get the ultimate prize.
ARC Raiders Players Are Struggling With The Finals: Here's the Easiest Way to Unlock the Collaboration Skins
ARC Raiders and The Finals collaboration event has officially begun, and you can now unlock exclusive ARC Raiders skins by completing specific tasks in The Finals. For players who enjoy collecting unique outfits and limited-time items, this is definitely a reward worth claiming before the event ends.
In addition to the collaboration event, ARC Raiders has also released a brand-new Twitch-exclusive skin, fixed a long-standing item duplication bug, and announced new rewards for Trials Season 5.
With the new skins, game mechanic fixes, and season content launching simultaneously, now is the perfect time for ARC Raiders players to expand their collection and prepare for challenges.
The Finals Collaboration
To obtain ARC Raiders collaboration skins, you first need to confirm your account is linked. Players need to go to their Embark account page and ensure that The Finals and ARC Raiders use the same Embark ID. If the two game accounts are not linked, you will not be able to claim the rewards even if you complete the tasks.
Contrary to some players' speculation, the task itself does not have only one stage. You only need to complete three objectives: accumulate 100 kills or assists, revive teammates 15 times, and earn 150,000 cash.
These objectives are simple for players who frequently play The Finals, but for new players who only play ARC Raiders and are unfamiliar with the pace of The Finals, completing the tasks may be quite difficult.
This is because The Finals has a fast-paced combat system, and since it launched in 2023, experienced players have a high skill level, making it easy for new players to be suppressed upon entering the game.
If you are unfamiliar with the game mechanics, EZG recommends choosing an easier method to complete the tasks. After entering the game, you can choose Cash Out Bots mode and turn off the option to team up with other players. This way, you will mainly face AI enemies, making it easier to complete the kill, assist, and revive tasks.
You can choose Medium class and equip Defibrillator. This item can quickly revive teammates, helping you complete the revive tasks quickly. In matches full of bots, you can continuously revive downed teammates while rapidly accumulating kills by defeating bots.
Normally, this method takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete the entire challenge. If you have friends playing together, you can help each other complete the resurrection tasks, which will further improve efficiency.
However, many players have found that after completing the challenge, they don't immediately see the corresponding appearance in ARC Raiders. According to The Finals' official explanation, if a player owns ARC Raiders and both games are linked to the same Embark ID, the collaboration outfit will be sent to their in-game mailbox within 24 hours.
Therefore, even if you have completed the challenge, it doesn't mean the skin will immediately appear in your inventory; you need to wait for the system to distribute it.
Previously, similar rewards, report feedback, and item return notifications for ARC Raiders were usually sent at fixed times. It is expected that the skin may be released along with the daily mailbox push notifications. Currently, due to the event's immense popularity, most players are waiting.
Twitch Exclusive Appearance
In addition to the collaboration skin, there are currently other new cosmetic rewards available for ARC Raiders, including Purple Duffel Bag and Bastion Mace melee tool.
These items are part of Twitch Drops event, but unlike regular rewards for watching livestreams, this event requires subscribing to a livestream channel. You need one subscription to get Purple Duffel Bag, and to get Bastion Mace, you need three subscriptions: one of your own and two gifted subscriptions.
The purple backpack is actually a recolored version of Paramedic Backpack, while Bastion Mace resembles the design of the core components inside Bastion Cell. This melee tool's design perfectly matches ARC Raiders sci-fi style.
Duplicate Glitch Fix
The duplicate glitch that ARC Raiders community has been most concerned about recently has finally been fixed! Previously, players discovered a very simple Duplication Glitch that could duplicate stackable ARC Raiders Items.
This vulnerability had a wide impact because any player could use it to duplicate items. Some players exploited the vulnerability to duplicate items in large quantities and profited immensely through the trading system, significantly impacting ARC Raiders economy.
In Live Update 1.36.0, the official ARC Raiders team stated that they are closely monitoring the game economy, continuously recording, investigating, and working to eliminate vulnerabilities. They recently fixed several data duplication-related vulnerabilities and will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the fixes.
Some players who severely abused the duplication vulnerability have already begun to be banned. However, the official ARC Raiders handling methods seem to differ. If a player only occasionally tests the vulnerability or uses it sparingly without significantly impacting the game environment, they may not be punished.
But if a player duplicates resources in large quantities, such as duplicating many high-value ARC Raiders Items to sell for huge profits, or uses the vulnerability to quickly gain a large amount of wealth, the risk of being banned will significantly increase. In any case, everyone should now avoid using any duplication vulnerabilities to avoid affecting their accounts.
Trials Season 5
In addition to the collaboration event, the rewards for ARC Raiders Season 5 trials have also begun to attract player attention. The new trial sets have multiple color schemes, including a basic version, a blue version, and a black version.
Many players consider the black and red Cantina Legend set to be one of the coolest Trials rewards in ARC Raiders to date. This set also supports various customization options, including armor on/off, helmet selection, mask adjustment, shoulder pads, sleeves, and changes to the appearance of tech gear, allowing you to create different styles to your liking.
For latest news on ARC Raiders, follow EZG Facebook. We also have limited-time giveaways where lucky players can win ARC Raiders Items.
As ARC Raiders continues to update, Trials system and cosmetic content are gradually becoming richer. For players who enjoy collecting cosmetic gear, collaboration skins, new Twitch rewards, and seasonal Trials rewards are all worth paying attention to recently.
ARC Raiders Buried City Town Hall Key Guide: Best Farming Locations, Guaranteed Methods & Loot Tips
In ARC Raiders, there's a key widely considered by the player community to be one of the game's most powerful keys, unlocking an unimaginable treasure trove - Buried City Town Hall Key.
However, high rewards come with high difficulty; obtaining this key is no easy feat. You'll need to search for it throughout the map, and it's heavily reliant on luck. However, mastering certain techniques can significantly reduce the time spent farming for this key.
Next, I'll provide a detailed introduction to this valuable key and offer some farming strategies to help you obtain the rewards as quickly as possible.
What is Buried City Town Hall Key?
Buried City Town Hall Key is a one-time consumable item in ARC Raiders. Unlike many keys in the game that only open a small room or safe, this key unlocks an entire multi-story building in the heart of Buried City - Town Hall.
This key is considered one of the most powerful keys in the game because of its substantial rewards. Entering Town Hall with the key is equivalent to entering a high-density, high-value resource-rich area.
Town Hall is a vast space, divided into multiple floors, corridors, offices, and open areas. These areas are filled with a massive number of searchable containers, including but not limited to lockers, weapon cases, grenade cases, medkits, filing cabinets, and drawers.
Even more remarkable is the sheer quantity and high quality of loot found here. Many players have reported discovering rare weapons and valuable Blueprints.
This characteristic of Town Hall makes Buried City Town Hall Key one of the most suitable keys for use in Night Raids in ARC Raiders. This is because the quality of all loot is increased in Night Raid mode.
Due to the sheer number of containers within Town Hall, this quality increase is amplified. Therefore, if you want to use this key, be sure to enter during a Night Raid to maximize your gains.
How to Farm Buried City Town Hall Key?
There are various ways to obtain this key in ARC Raiders, and while it ultimately comes down to luck, understanding all the methods will allow you to farm it more effectively.
Random Loot
This is the primary method of obtaining keys. In the game, keys appear as random loot in containers throughout the map. Based on feedback from numerous players, the following locations and types have a high probability of spawning Buried City Town Hall Keys:
First, residential areas on the map. Residential areas are widely considered the best place to farm keys. Because they contain the most searchable items (such as drawers, cabinets, and backpacks), the probability of finding keys is highest.
You can focus your search on the large apartment buildings in Buried City, such as Ruby Residence and Grandioso Apartments, as these locations have numerous rooms and densely packed containers.
Second, Research and Administration building in Dam Battlegrounds. Many players have shared that the second floor of this building is a high-frequency spawn point for keys, not only easily spawning ARC Raiders Buried City Town Hall Key, but also frequently spawning keys from other areas.
To efficiently farm keys, you can plan a search route that passes through the above-mentioned high-probability areas every time you enter Buried City map, and conduct a thorough search - leaving no drawer, cabinet, or backpack unchecked.
This is purely a game of probability; the larger the search area and the larger the base number, the higher the probability of success.
Quest Rewards
Besides random drops, this key is also a reward for certain specific tasks, such as "Our Presence Up There" and "Building A Library" quest.
These tasks usually involve some map exploration and collection, which may take a considerable amount of time, but completing the task guarantees the key, making it very reliable.
Events
Sometimes, Buried City Town Hall Key appears as a reward for limited-time events in ARC Raiders, such as its appearance in a Raider Deck reward. Therefore, you can regularly check the in-game Raider Deck or special events for options to directly redeem or reward the key.
Precautions for Looting Town Hall
In a PVPVE game like ARC Raiders, even if you successfully obtain Buried City Town Hall Key, the challenge has only just begun.
Town Hall, as the most valuable area on the entire Buried City map and located in the very center, is the focus of attention for almost all players.
When you open the door to loot, you'll easily attract the attention of other players, who might ambush you while you're focused on collecting loot and reap the benefits.
Furthermore, a large number of ARC enemies will spawn around Town Hall. Some players have even encountered powerful enemies like Queen. Clearing out these enemies will expose your location and status, making it extremely dangerous.
Therefore, reckless action will only make you an easy target for other players or enemies, ruining your efforts. You should prepare for battle before entering Hall Key - bring powerful weapons and useful items.
This concludes the guide on how to farm Buried City Town Hall Key and loot Town Hall in ARC Raiders. If you found this article helpful, follow EZG Facebook. We will be updating with more useful guides and giving away gifts to our fans in the future.
In short, Town Hall is a very worthwhile place to loot. If you're short on materials or Blueprints, try looting according to this guide; you might be pleasantly surprised.
How to Get Kinetic Converters in ARC Raiders? - Best Farm Spots for This Legendary
Kinetic Converter is one of the few legendary items in ARC Raiders, and one of the very few without a blueprint. You can't obtain it through crafting; you can only acquire it through persistent farming.
As a top-tier weapon modification in the game, Kinetic Converter can completely transform the game. Equipping it increases the weapon's rate of fire by approximately 15%, but also increases horizontal and vertical recoil by about 20%.
If recoil is not properly controlled, it can have the opposite effect. However, for players who can master recoil control, it can transform an otherwise mediocre weapon into an absolutely powerful one. Now that ARC Raiders Trials Season 5 is underway, Kinetic Converter will continue to play an even greater role, so players who don't yet have this attachment should act quickly.
This article will teach you how to efficiently farm Kinetic Converters in ARC Raiders. Let's take a look.
Prime Farming Locations
Through testing, we have determined which areas have the highest Kinetic Converter drop rate. Currently, Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds maps are the best choices. Spaceport, while offering slightly lower loot, is a decent alternative. Details are as follows:
Buried City
Buried City is widely considered the best map for farming ARC Raiders Kinetic Converters without requiring a key. This map has a high loot density, and all players can access high-value areas. The key to success is finding the right locations and completing a full run.
The most notable location on this ARC Raiders map is Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, known for its abundance of accessory containers, potentially allowing you to obtain multiple Kinetic Converters in a single run. Therefore, we generally recommend heading here early in the run.
There's also an Arbusto Pharmacy breach room, which, together with Plaza Rosa Pharmacy, forms an efficient continuous looting loop. You can quickly run between these two pharmacies for an efficient farming route.
Besides the pharmacies, there's a hard-to-reach treasure room in an apartment building in West Village, located between Grandioso Apartments and the northeast extraction point.
This room requires some parkour skills to enter, and it's precisely because of this high difficulty that it contains some high-quality loot. Once inside, you'll most likely find a Kinetic Converter in the brown drawer in the back left corner.
Dam Battlegrounds
If you have the right key, Dam Battlegrounds map offers a higher ceiling for rare attachments. Dam Personnel Room Key is considered one of the best investments for attachments in ARC Raiders; some players have reported obtaining multiple Kinetic Converters from the same room in a single raid.
In addition, Dam Control Tower Key is also very valuable. Combining it with Dam Personnel Room Key can create an efficient farming route.
For players without keys, Dam Battlegrounds map still provides a specific route, but it can be quite risky. There's a specific platform on the side of the control tower with destructible chests that have a high chance of dropping Kinetic Converters.
However, climbing onto this platform is very risky and requires precise maneuvering; a fall can be fatal. Therefore, you need to develop an escape plan, such as using a zipline, to return safely.
Spaceport
Spaceport map is a reliable alternative, although it may not be as efficient as farming items in Buried City and Dam Battlegrounds, but it will still yield some rewards.
Launch Tower in the center of the map is your primary objective. They contain high-tier loot chests that can drop legendary items, and you can easily reach them via zipline. While the drop rate for Kinetic Converters isn't extremely high, the competition here is definitely less intense than elsewhere.
Maximizing Efficiency
To truly maximize your Kinetic Converter acquisition efficiency, there are two methods, as follows:
Night Raid Events
Night Raid Events are repeatedly cited as the best time to farm rare items. It's reportedly able to naturally increase the drop rate of rare items, including Kinetic Converters. While there's still a drop rate during the day, to avoid wasting your time and effort, we strongly recommend focusing your map farming efforts on night raids in Buried City or Dam Battlegrounds.
Scrappy
If you want an easier way to obtain it, try Scrappy (a common resource). You can feed it Agave in ARC Raiders, which will give you a chance to get attachments. While the drop rate for Kinetic Converter isn't 100%, it's almost free, essentially giving you a free chance.
The most efficient loop is to farm Buried City in ARC Raiders, acquiring both attachments and Agave. Then, feed Agave to Scrappy to increase your chances of getting Kinetic Converter.
Many players make the mistake of being greedy after finding Kinetic Converter. Remember, your priority at this point is to escape alive. Stop chasing other containers and avoid intense combat. Kinetic Converter is far more helpful than killing a person, and obtaining this attachment will speed up your progress in ARC Raiders Trials Season 5.
For more information, follow EZG Facebook. They also hold occasional giveaways to help you get more resources. Join us!
For high-rate-of-fire weapons like Bobcat or Stitcher, Kinetic Converter is an excellent attachment because the extra recoil is manageable, while DPS boost is substantial. I wish all players reading this article the best of luck in obtaining Kinetic Converter and successfully completing ARC Raiders Trials Season 5. Go try it out!
