This Arc Raiders Loot Route Is Virtually Unbeatable, But…

As an extraction shooter, Arc Raiders can be a tense and fast-paced experience. During each round, players are not only fighting the clock, but also formidable enemy AI, limited inventory space, and potentially other players. With all of that competition, they are then expected to gather as much necessary loot as possible and get it safely back to Speranza without getting killed or running out of time to extract. As such, it's always worth finding out what the best loot route is in Arc Raiders if players want to be as efficient as possible.

This Arc Raiders loot route is laid out in detail in a YouTube video published by The Gaming Merchant, although other content creators have also published videos breaking down the same route. This particular walkthrough is around 20 minutes long, but it is thorough enough that even the newest Arc Raiders players should be able to follow it with ease. The only problem is that the route comes with a huge catch that doesn't necessarily trivialize it, but it does add some layers to it that players should be aware of.

Arc Raiders' Best Loot Route Happens at Blue Gate

What makes this particular loot route in Arc Raiders so unbeatable is that, as long as players can beat other Raiders to the punch, they can find everything they need to upgrade their Workshop, as well as plenty of blueprints, weapons, and other rare items. The route starts at the Reinforced Reception building on Arc Raiders' Blue Gate map, which means players will need to complete 18 rounds in the game before they even get access to the map.

Arc Raiders' Best Loot Route Comes With a Catch

While this loot route is virtually unbeatable and one that players should tackle as soon as they get the chance to, however, as is the case with almost any optimal route or farm in a game like Arc Raiders, the community has now become highly aware of the route. No doubt due in part to content creators and streamers popularizing the route, it is now quite infamous for being regularly overrun by players, some of whom potentially have no problem taking out other Raiders. In light of that, either players need to be extra cautious when attempting the route, or they need to be prepared to arrive at a location that has already been picked clean, should they get there too late.

That being said, there is still so much loot on this particular route that players should be able to find something worth the trip while they're there, meaning the only thing they'll need to keep an eye out for are bloodthirsty enemy players. Fortunately, Arc Raiders' solo experience has proven to host more friendly players than the co-op side, so players should probably start there if they want to increase their chances.
