Where to Find Sensors in ARC Raiders

By newsgame


Sensors in ARC Raiders are a rare Topside material that players can find in the Technological and Security locations on any map. This is required to craft the Explosive Mine, Tagging Grenade, and mainly the Raider Hatch Key.

As this item can drop in many locations in the game, players might be curious as to where they should go to farm these in large quantities. The guide below offers information on all methods to get Sensors, as well as a short and efficient farming route in ARC Raiders.

Where to Find Sensors in ARC Raiders

There are two ways of acquiring Sensors in the game. The first involves purchasing them from the Vendors Tab. Celeste sells them for 10 Seeds each and has a stock of 5 that resets daily. This allows you to have 5 Sensors every day as long as you have Seeds to buy them. If you do not want to spend your Seeds on the Sensors, you can try finding them on Topside.

The best place to find them is inside the metal cabinets that you can breach. These are found in quite a lot of areas, but the best place to farm them is at Stella Montis. Both the Assembly Workshop and Medical Research have these cabinets that you need to be on the lookout for. A good way to farm them is by bringing along only a Raider Hatch Key in your Safe Pocket and nothing else.

If you spawn away from the Assembly Workshop, simply surrender, and you will not lose anything.

When you spawn close to it, head on over and start breaching the cabinets and looting any drawers you can find. You should be able to get 1-2 stacks of Sensors, Processors, and other technological items. Once your inventory is full, head east of the Assembly Workshop to find a hatch you can open and safely extract to Esperanza.

Another great place to farm the Sensors is Pilgrim’s Peak on the Blue Gate map. Inside are a lot of cabinets that you can breach and loot, but you will need to be careful of the numerous ARCs, such as Fireball, roaming around here.
