All pianos in ARC Raiders and how to find them

The Shrouded Sky update in ARC Raiders seems to be encouraging us to go on a musical journey by finding pianos on the map.

We already had the Guitar in older updates, which was also part of its own puzzle. The pianos (there are two as of writing) are far easier to find, and you can discover them on your raid. I am unsure if the pianos are part of a puzzle, but here’s where you can find and play them.

How to find all pianos in ARC Raiders

One of the two pianos you can find is on the Buried City map, while the other one is on Blue Gate.

Piano location in the Buried City

The Piano in Buried City is located inside one of the apartment buildings in front of the Old Town Hatch (you can escape using a hatch key). I have marked the exact spot on the image above. However, this area usually has plenty of ARCs, so approach it from the back. There will be a small door that you can use to get inside.

Once inside, use the stairs to go to the top floor. There’s a huge broken wall. Pass through it and move straight. Take a left, and you’ll find a breachable door. Break the lock and head inside, and you’ll find the Piano.

Piano location in Blue Gate

The Piano in Blue Gate is easier to find as it’s located in the Raider’s Refuge. It’s a named POI, so it’s easy to spot. The Piano will be by one of the walls (depending on which of the three doors you use to enter). This spot also has plenty of ARCs patrolling the area, and I found the newly-released Comet as well.

Try to clear the ARCs first before approaching the Piano. There’s a Turret as well that I have found in the Raider’s Refuge. In simple words, carry strong weapons that allow you to deal with enemies efficiently.

How to play the Piano in ARC Raiders

Once you spot a piano, move close to it. You’ll get the chance to interact and play the keys. The complete tune takes a few seconds to complete, but you can stop playing it early. I really like the tune and found it to be quite catchy. More importantly, we don’t have to solve a puzzle this time around.

The launch of the Shrouded Sky update in ARC Raiders has a few new ways for players to be rewarded for their efforts, and the First Wave Raider Caches should be high on your priority list.

Not to be mistaken with the standard Raider Caches (in terms of their content), this variant is exclusive to the Hurricane map condition. While surviving the storm is filled with horrors and terrors, you can get some amazing loot in the process.

How to get First Wave Raider Caches in ARC Raiders

The First Wave Raider Caches are special containers that you can search for valuable loot. Not to be mistaken for Unconvered Caches, First Wave Raider Caches have been revealed by the strong winds of the Hurricane map event. These caches appear to be bigger than the standard ones (possibly due to the larger number of items).

Finding one is a huge challenge since it’s very hard to locate them in the dark. So far, I have found them on the Dam Battlegrounds and the Blue Gate maps. But some members of the community have also found success on Spaceport and Buried City.

I have marked the locations below (my own and based on the community). I have added the possible spots for Blue Gate and Dam Battlegrounds, but I will add more locations as I find more caches in the days to come.

First things first – the First Wave Raider Caches don’t have fixed locations on the map. Their locations appear to change with the raid, so that’s something to keep in mind. The locations shown on the images below are ‘possible’ spots where you should look. Finding one will also largely depend on your luck. Always look around the bushes because some of the caches can be hidden from open view.

If you’re on Dam Battlegrounds, you can check out the locations marked above.

If you’re on Blue Gate, you check the spots marked on the image above.

Are First Wave Raider Caches worth it in ARC Raiders

First Wave Raider Caches are incredibly valuable to find in the current version of ARC Raiders. I am unsure if the rate of rewards will be changed in the future, but you can find some amazing items. The pool of possible rewards includes blueprints (for weapons and explosives), among other things.

Hence, finding the caches should be your top priority if you’re willing to brave the challenges of the Hurricane.
