With the release of Arc Raiders’ second season of Expeditions, many previously unvaluable items have become highly sought after. One such item is the Cooling Coil . It can be difficult to find, as it’s rarer than other industrial components. In this guide, we’ll explain where and how to obtain it.
What is a cooling coil for?
A Cooling Coil sells for 1,000 coins, but its main value is in its processing. It can be used to obtain 6 Chemicals and 2 Steel Springs . Springs, in turn, are needed to craft many useful items, such as Advanced Mechanical Components and Extended Magazines. For the second phase of the expedition, you’ll need 4 Cooling Coils , as well as 35 Durable Fabric, 25 Wire, and 20 Electrical Components.
Best places to search
The best places to look for spirals are in industrial zones. The most common locations are on the Spaceport map . However, this map is very large, and if you spawn incorrectly, reaching the necessary buildings can take a long time.
The Dam Battlegrounds map is considered more effective for farming spirals . Focus on two key complexes:
- Hydroponic Dome Complex
- Power Generation Complex
Both zones have a lot of loot. Carefully inspect generators, car hoods, and metal crates —these are where coils are most often hidden. The locations are close together, so after clearing one, you can quickly move to the other. Even if someone has already searched the zone, the chance of finding a coil remains high, as not everyone needs this item.
You can only carry 3 coils at a time. Once you find them, it’s best to immediately place them in the Safe Pocket . Recycling a coil on the Topside will also yield 2 coils.
