Steel Springs are a key resource in Arc Raiders , required for crafting and completing Expedition quests. For example, the first phase of Expedition Season 2 requires 15 of these springs. In this guide, we’ll explain where to find them and what items you can recycle to obtain them.
Buying from a merchant
The easiest way is to buy springs from Celeste the merchant in the “Merchants” tab. She sells 10 springs daily for 6 Seeds each . The supply is refreshed daily. Seeds can be obtained from Scrappy after a raid or found in the Seed Vault on the Stella Montis map.
Search locations
If you need more springs or don’t want to waste Seeds, head to the surface. Look for springs in the industrial zones of the map. The best place to farm is the Cosmodrome , where there are many factories with metal boxes that can be hacked. Also, check the hoods of abandoned cars—they might also contain springs.
Even after turning in springs for an expedition, it’s worth saving them. They’re needed to craft Torrentes , extended magazines , and advanced mechanical components .
