Feeling stuck in 'Arc Raiders' because you can't find those elusive Rusted Gears? You're not alone! Many players are scrambling to locate these crucial components to upgrade their benches and gear, especially as we approach the end of the first Expedition period. But fear not, the hunt doesn't have to be a grind! Let's dive into where you can find these mechanical treasures and boost your chances of snagging them.
Rusted Gears are primarily found within the mechanical remnants scattered across the game's maps. Think of them as the metallic heart of various objects. This includes vehicles like cars, the humming generators that power areas, and various pieces of machinery.
So, where should you focus your search?
- Buried City's Parking Garage: Head straight to the Raider Camp at the bottom. Generators here are prime spots for finding gears.
- Vehicle Maintenance in Spaceport: A logical location for finding mechanical parts, right?
- Warehouse Complex in Blue Gate: Another area teeming with potential gear locations.
- Loading Bay in Stella Montis: Keep an eye out in this busy area.
Don't overlook the obvious! You can also find gears in cars right when you spawn, although this is less common than finding them in high-traffic zones or rare loot areas. It's a gamble, but a quick sweep of car hoods at the start of a round could pay off. You might also get lucky and find some on fallen Raiders, but this is a rare occurrence.
Rusted Gears are just the beginning. As new materials are added, they will become even more important, especially when you send your Raider off on an Expedition and have to restart your progression. And this is the part most people miss...
