Arc Raiders offers a wide variety of weapons, but it also offers even more various auxiliary tools. It’s not just grenades; there are many interesting things to use, from ziplines and mines to invisibility cloaks that hide you from the Arcs.
Supply Drops, or Grenade Launchers, contain utility items. They’re scattered across all five maps in Arc Raiders, but unless you know where to look, you won’t come across them very often. Typically, only a few drop in each match, and some are quite difficult to find.

Tips for finding gear containers
Now that you know where to look, here are some tips to help you find Grenade Launchers more effectively:
- Check locked rooms. Many spawn points are located inside rooms that require hacking. Always carry hacking tools or look for alternative routes through ventilation vents or destructible walls.
- Look up. Don’t forget to inspect roofs, upper floors, scaffolding, and overhead structures. Many containers are hidden there.
- Use verticality. Your grappling hook is your best search assistant. It allows you to quickly reach hard-to-reach places at heights.
- Memorize patterns. Over time, you’ll memorize the most common spawn points on your favorite maps, which will significantly speed up your search.
- Act quickly. Loot containers are a valuable resource that can be fought over. Try to check key points early in the match, while other players are busy with other tasks.
Happy hunting, Raiders! By mastering these locations, you’ll always be equipped with powerful tools to combat the Arks.
