Where to Find Wires & Batteries in ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders allow players to take on quests from traders in exchange for XP and valuable rewards. One of these quests is called Trash into Treasure, which will require players to find wires and a battery from Topside and bring them back to Speranza. Since this is one of the early quests, players who are just starting the game won't know where to get these items. So, this guide will help you locate wires and batteries so you can complete the quest.

Wires and Batteries Location ARC Raiders

Since wires and batteries are items used in appliances and electrical equipment, your best chances at finding them are in places marked with an electrical or technological loot in ARC Raiders. However, players have a better chance at finding both of these items in the vicinity of electrical/power stations.

When you reach one of these locations with electrical loot, you'll need to search every locker, crater, and drawer. Here's a breakdown of lootable locations that will help you get batteries and wires in ARC Raiders.

Some drawers or shelves in these locations will contain some electronic devices that can be recycled to get batteries from them.
Said lootable areas can also contain computer power cables that you can recycle to get wires.
It's best to search for CRT monitors which can be found near command consoles. These have a high chance of giving players batteries.
Searching electric panels and generators (often found on the exterior of these buildings) will let players accumulate wires for the quest.
If you happen to find enemy players in these areas, try defeating them and looting their bodies. It's highly likely they were here collecting wires and batteries, just like you.

Once you've found all the wires and batteries you need, make sure to put at least one of them in your Safe Pocket. This will let you at least extract one of them if you end up dying from an enemy player or ARC Machines. Now quickly head to the nearest extraction point to take all your components to Speranza.

Now, simply head to Shani's Trader tab and complete the Trash into Treasure quest in ARC Raiders. This will reward players with XP to level up, 1x Tactical MK.1, and 3x Adrenaline Shots.
