Arc Raiders features several maps that successfully balance size and richness. There are almost no empty areas where nothing happens and nothing to discover; most areas of the map are sure to have something interesting, or at least the potential for it.
One of the most coveted finds are weapon cases . They’re scattered across all five current maps, and inside you’re almost guaranteed to find a weapon, along with a chance for even more valuable loot. While a case doesn’t always appear in the designated locations, by getting into the habit of checking them, you can easily plot a route to collect several in a single run.
Weapon Case Spawn Locations in Dam Battlefield
The Dam Battlefield is one of the best places to find weapon cases . Spawn points are spread fairly evenly across the map, both in the densely populated interior and on the more deserted outskirts.
If you’re going on a crate hunt, it’s a good idea to bring a few ziplines , as some locations can only be reached by means of elevated means. This rule applies to all maps.

Tips for Finding Gun Cases
Now that you know where to look, here are some tips to help make your hunt more efficient and safer.
- Use rope catapults. As mentioned, many points are located at high altitudes. Always have several catapults on hand to quickly reach rooftops, towers, and other elevated areas.
- Check locked rooms. A huge number of cases are hidden there. To access them, you’ll need a keycard , which can be found by searching enemies or specific containers on the map.
- Plan a route. After studying the map and spawn points, create a logical route that will allow you to check several locations in one go, minimizing aimless wandering.
- Be on guard. You’re not alone on the map. While you’re searching for crates, you may be observed by other players or Ark patrols. Always assess your surroundings before looting.
- Don’t neglect the lower floors. While many cases are located upstairs, some are hidden in basements, on the lower levels of parking lots, or in other inconspicuous locations below.
Hunting for weapon cases is a great way not only to expand your arsenal but also to better explore each map, discovering new corners and movement tactics. Good luck in your search!
