Where to Find Cooling Fans is a guide for ARC Raiders about finding this rare technological resource needed to upgrade your Expedition. Below is a detailed guide on where to find cooling fans and how to safely obtain them.
Where to look for cooling fans
- The cooling fan belongs to the category of technological items.
- It can spawn in different spots across the map, especially where there is a higher chance of technological loot.
- The most reliable locations:
- Battlefield near the dam
- Spaceport
- Stella Montis
- Any area with a technology symbol may also contain fans, but the locations indicated give the best results.
Look for special containers
- Look out for large metal cabinets that look like server racks.
- Their color depends on the map:
- on Stella Montis – blue;
- in other places – yellow.
- To open such a container, you need to hack it.
- It is in these cabinets that cooling fans are most often stored.
The battlefield near the dam – the best points
- Main places to look:
- Control tower
- Research and administrative center
- These buildings are located in the area of valuable loot, so:
- there are many ARC patrols inside;
- Other players often come here.
- There are entrances from all sides – from the north, south, east and west.
- Breaking into containers makes noise, so keep your back to the wall and be aware of your surroundings.
Spaceport – More points to search
- The chance of finding a fan here is higher than on the battlefield near the dam.
- Check the following areas:
- Arrival building
- South Tower of the Trench
- North Tower of the Trench
- Central buildings:
- Departure building
- Launch towers
- Control Tower A6
- The spaceport center is rich in loot, but dangerous:
- lots of open spaces;
- many ARC patrols;
- high player activity.
- It is better to move along external routes and avoid unnecessary noise.
Stella Montis is the most dangerous, but most profitable option
- This is a late location, but the chance of finding fans here is the highest.
- Tech loot can spawn on all floors, but the best areas are on the lower level:
- Assembly shop
- Fitting shop
- Medical research
- Communications center
- Hall
- These locations are heavily contested by players and ARC patrols.
- The Communications Center is a slightly safer option as it is located off to the side.
- Medical research and the hall are the most dangerous, but also the richest.
Upper levels
- Additional technological loot points:
- Sandbox
- Metro hall
- The metro lobby can be quickly searched before returning to the train.
- The Sandbox is an extremely dangerous area with constant patrols of ARC Crusher units.
If you need cooling fans, it’s best to start with the Dam or Spaceport battlefield, then move on to Stella Montis if you’re willing to take high risks for maximum reward.
