Here’s a quick guide on where you can find those early Batteries and finish your early Trash into Treasure quest in ARC Raiders.

Where to Find Batteries in ARC Raiders

There are many ways to find Batteries, but the easiest way to find it is by knowing its category or type and finding areas that spawn those item types. Batteries are found in Technological and Electrical areas, and if you hover over each major loot area in a map, you’ll see what type of items are mostly found in those areas.

For Batteries, your best shot is the Power Generation Complex or the Hydroponic Dome Complex. Since you need your Batteries for the Trash Into Treasure quest, which also needs Wires, you might as well go to the Power Generation Complex to finish both at the same time.

Go to the Power Generation Complex and go to the tech rooms by going down one floor from the surface. Look for the breachable metal containers and server cabinets. These should have most of the electrical loot. Batteries and Wires could also spawn on top of the command tables and shelves, so keep an eye out for those.

As another method of finding these items, you can actually recycle topside, recyclable, and refined materials to get fewer items that might have Batteries or Wires. Industrial Batteries can be recycled into multiple Batteries, so keep that in mind.

Once you finish the quest, you can still use these tips to find other items by following the loot tables categorically in the maps or through recycling.

You can even find more resources per run with the right survival skills!
