Best Loot Spots in Buried City in ARC Raiders
The desert is yours!
Buried City is one of the most fun maps to play PvP, but it also has a ton of decent loot spots in ARC Raiders. Most areas are indoors, making each house dangerous.
If your goal is to loot and make some money, you must know your way around, or you’ll get stuck and hunted down. Here are some of the best loot spots for the Buried City map in ARC Raiders.
Best Spots for Good Loot in Buried City in ARC Raiders
Hospital, Space Travel, and Town Hall
Just to start off the list with the most obvious ones, we have the Hospital, Space Travel, and Town Hall buildings. These are all tagged as “High-Value” loot areas, and even a full three squad could easily spend five minutes inside and come out with full loot, even when using Looting Mk 3s.
The loot density and quality inside these buildings are unmatched, and the only thing that can beat these loot spots are rooms or areas locked behind a key.
If you want some medical items, go to the Hospital. If you need technical resources, such as Wires and Batteries, go to the Space Travel section. The 6th floor of the Space Travel building alone should fill up your inventory.
The Town Hall needs a Town Hall key, so that’s pretty much never on the table. Since keys are one-time use consumables, they won’t be accessible as much.
Santa Maria Houses and Apartments
The Santa Maria houses and the apartment next to them are my favorite underrated loot spots in Buried City. These houses have drawers, kitchen cabinets, and loose loot on top of the kitchen counters. You may also find some loot bags and even a weapon crate. The houses are near each other, and you’ll also want to hit the apartment to the east for more loot.
The area is near hotspots; therefore, it can be dangerous. If you don’t make enough noise, you can ignore players who are trying to PvP above the roof or trying to loot the Plaza Rosa area.
Most of the loot you get would be random, but mostly residential, giving you chances at finding keys and trinkets for more money.

Parking Garage
My next go-to underrated looting spot is the Parking Garage just south of the Hospital and north of the Space Travel building. Since it is sandwiched between two of the most highly contested spots, you should always be careful approaching it.
I suggest visiting this spot when trying to obtain additional loot or when you’ve already started an ongoing raid. Always remember that if the timer didn’t start at 30:00, you aren’t in a fresh raid. In this situation, you can expect the hot spots to be looted already, and double-dipping doesn’t feel good.
Go to the Parking Garage and breach through the door close to the Hospital side. There will be a zipline leading to the basement with several breachable containers, including cars. This part is even part of an early quest. You can easily get a ton of workshop upgrade materials here as well.
Red Tower
The Red Tower doesn’t hold as much loot as other spots, but it is worth pointing out since it is rarely hit by raiders for loot. The small building has red containers, a Security Breach Locker, and several drawers. When you go up to the roof (outer roof), there are even more drawers, along with a weapon crate and one or two breachable containers.
That’s already a decent amount of loot for such a tiny area. Most players would love to camp in this spot as it has a nice view of the rooftops.
Plaza Rosa
The Plaza Rosa might only hold “medium value” loot, but it holds a decent amount of residential loot, which is great for farming money. However, it is also a strategic spot since there’s a hole in the middle that literally sends you to the Southern Station extraction.
Once players get down, it is hard to push them because dropping down will give the advantage to the squad below. You have no choice but to wait for them to extract or fight at a disadvantage.
If you are around the Plaza Rosa apartments, you can easily hear and spot enemies before they can make a run for the hole on the ground. As for looting, you are mostly looking at kitchen counters, cabinets, lootbags, and some loose medical item spawns.
Galleria
The Galleria is like a mini-6th-floor Space Travel area. There’s a decent amount of loot, but not a good area to get your whole squad full of items.
However, it is still a great spot to get more loot, and you can always find a lot of ARC enemies in this area and get ARC-based items.
Grandioso Apartments
The Grandioso Apartments (west of the Burial City) is such an awkward looting spot. It looks like there’s a lot of loot since it has two tall and massive buildings, but you are going from floor to floor and room to room to find one or fewer searchable counters or drawers per room, so it isn’t worth your time.
However, I just had to put it on the list since it is still labeled as “medium value” loot, and residential items are always nice to farm. It is also worth mentioning that there are two nearby spawns, making it a good and safe spot for looting. Most raiders will never go to the Grandioso Apartments if they are spawned far away from it. There’s no reason to go there when there are so many great loot spots.
