How to find Water Filter in ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders‘ progression is tied to various items, which often take a long while to find and discover.

The currently-ongoing event, Flickering Flames, also requires specific items to be advanced, including Water Filters, which are tied to its fourth stage. Water Filters also have other uses and are generally a valuable item, one you can either sell or keep, depending on the situation.

So, here’s how and where you can find it.

Where to find Water Filter in ARC Raiders

Water Filter usually spawns in Industrial loot zones that can be found on just about every map of the game. However, I’ve had a lot of luck with them on Dam Battlegrounds, specifically in the Research and Administration building (itself quite a good spot for valuable loot overall). Try to loot every single container you come across in the building, and odds are you will get at least one Water Filter, if not more.

Additionally, Water Filters tend to spawn in Security Breach boxes. These can only be opened if you have the necessary skill unlocked from the Survival tree, but trust me, they’re worth it. You have a great chance to find Water Filters in them, and players have reported seeing tons of Legendary items, such as Kinetic Converters, in them, and I myself have found many pinks in them.

Security Breaches are scattered across all the maps, but you can find one in the Power Generation Complex on Dam Battlegrounds, which you can visit and loot before gunning for the RnD building.

The Locked Gate arrived in ARC Raiders as part of The North Line update, and completing it will require a fair amount of coordination. You can run across it randomly during the Cold Snap update, but the conditions remain the same.

Like all map conditions, the Locked Gate isn’t available at all times. You’ll have to be lucky to find it on a map rotation. This guide will help you to complete the event successfully if you manage to start a raid while it’s available.

ARC Raiders Locked Gate event walkthrough

The Locked Gate event takes place on the Blue Gate map, but adds a custom modifier. The modifier restricts you from using any Raider Hatches and also blocks entry to the underground tunnels. All of this is part of an emergency shutdown protocol. Your job will be to find relevant security codes to open a locked gate (hence, the name).

To begin the quest, head to the Gate Control Room inside the Warehouse Complex. I have marked its location on the screenshot below, but it’s hard to miss. The Warehouse Complex is located between the central and the northern part of the Blue Gate map.

Head inside the room, and you’ll find four systems. When you try to interact with them, you’ll be asked for security codes. Finding the security codes is easy, as they will have a POI in their respective names.

If you’re trying to find the Pilgrim’s Peak code, you’ll have to head over to the location. All four POIs will be present on the Blue Gate map, but finding them can take a fair amount of time (not to mention the added dangers of ARC enemies and enemy Raiders).

Checkpoint Gate location

Once you have found all four codes, head back to the Gate Control Room. Use the four codes to unlock the central gate in the Checkpoint POI (marked on the screenshot above). You’ll find an unlocked gate, along with plenty of valuable items to loot inside. However, be highly cautious as enemy Raiders could try to ambush you for a free lot.
