The Stella Montis Map in ARC Raiders is a big place, filled with dangerous ARC enemies called Shredders who will pursue players relentlessly across the map if they detect them. So, finding the best Loot Spots is more than just roaming in the High-Tier Loot areas (red flagged).
These five underrated spots will make the Raiders' mouths water with impressive amounts of loot, well-hidden and well-guarded by lots of annoying PvE foes (without mentioning the many players coveting these hotspots). Players will be able to learn all about these farming spots with this list, and trace a farming route so that when Stella Montis is the selected destination, they know exactly where to look.
ARC Raiders: 5 Most Underrated Loot Spots On Dam Battlegrounds
Escape the PVP chaos and farm these underrated loot locations on the Dam Battlegrounds map in ARC Raiders.
The Archives
A Dangerous Place, But The Rewards Are Worth It
The Archives consists of two separated layers: The upper level with two accesses (north and south), which is often the ideal place to ambush other players, and the top layer, which is actually the place with the most concentration of loot, with all the crates and cabinet files ready to plunder. Raiders often avoid this zone near the Business Lounge, which is the bridge between the Cultural Archives and the Auditorium (another underrated looting spot). There is a lot of luggage scattered around, which can contain important loot, such as trinkets and Survival Items.
There are Grenade and Weapon Crates that can spawn on both sides of the main area, behind some wooden crates on the northern side, near the Zipline, and one more in the southern area, where a pair of Shredders tend to roam. But perhaps the main attraction is the Archives Locked Storage Room, which requires an Epic Tier Keycard to be opened and holds a ridiculous amount of loot. If players are willing to deal with the Shredder guarding that zone. Then, if players have a Raiders Hatch Key, there's an underground layer that leads to a Raiders Hatch on the opposite extreme of the Storage Room, guaranteeing a quick getaway, and some extra loot from the crates around it.
The Seed Vault
Ignored By Most Players, But They Should Think Twice
The Seed Vault is tucked in the far right corner of the Bottom Layer of Stella Montis, and it is often a spawn zone for Raiders. Accessing the Vault requires players to move a Fuel Cell around and introduce it into the interruptor box on the wall. But players tend to avoid this area for two reasons: The first is the Shredder Spawn, which often roams around the Seed Vault and goes as far as the Airshaft Extraction point. The second is, well, other players.

But when opening this metallic rolling curtain, players will access so much more than simple loot. There are two possible Crate Spawns and they're almost always one Weapon Crate and one Utility Crate. Plus, there are at least 70 Seeds to loot per round. And in case players don't know, Seeds are useful not only for trading with Celeste, but they're needed to complete Quests and the Expeditions Project. Plus, each vault
Logistics Admin
Players Often Ignore What's Lying There In Plain Sight
Located in the Bottom Layer, overseeing the Loading Bay, this area, which is accessed by going west through the underground tunnels (carefully avoiding the Bastion Roaming around), is filled with tons of crates, containers, and scattered Exodus Modules to loot. Players should be aiming to take home as many Exodus Modules as possible, since these are expensive Epic Grade mats that they can exchange for money, or use to craft awesome weapons like the Jupiter.
Logistics Admin is often avoided, as it's a spawning zone and close to a Metro Extraction Point, so players usually go all the way around and then go straight into the Sandbox area, where there's plenty of loot. Though the latter is a highly contested zone, since the loot is good, ARC Enemies often patrol in smaller groups, and players will fight tooth and nail for all those precious Epic Grade Crafting Mats. Logistics Admin is the safest bet, since it has lots of Lockers, Breachable Machinery, and Supply Backpacks, as well as Android Remains lying around. Plus, it's next to a Metro Entrance, and players are just a drop away from a safe extraction.
Auditorium
A Small Looting Zone, But Don't Discard It Just Yet
The Auditorium is right next to the Cultural Archives and the Lobby, and can be easily accessed through its many entrances. This is a small disadvantage, since it also means other players can enter at the same time, and things can get ugly really fast. But the precious loot in this zone is a real treat.

Starting with the Raider's Backpack and Grenade Cache spawning near the reception, to the many backpacks and even a Weapon Crate that can spawn near the benches, this place is a real gold mine for astute Raiders. If players like to avoid highly contested zones, then the Auditorium is the next best option to gear up real quick, even if they deploy with the Free Loadout.
Assembly
Tons Of Mats, But Be Careful, It's Open Season Out There
The Assembly Line of Stella Mortis encompasses all the area loot and tucks it in small containers scattered across its two parallel catwalks, overseeing the zone, which is comprised of a straight line filled with rocket parts and other futuristic stuff that ended up half-cooked. There are plenty of looting spots here, and at the end of the line, there's even an Admin Room that can be opened by using a Key Card (Stella Montis Assembly Admin Key).
But, if players want to take the chance with this area, which is not labeled as Mid-Tier or High-Tier Loot, they will soon discover there are a lot of things to carry back to Speranza here. In the best-case scenario, a Raider can get at least 9 Exodus Modules and 3 Power Rods. Sometimes even more. The Assembly's proximity to a Raider Hatch also makes it a good place to deploy, loot, and scoop away before hostile players even notice someone has been there before. All in all, one of the most underrated yet great loot spots in Stella Montis.
