How to get and use the Rotary Encoder in ARC Raiders

The Rotary Encoder is a rare Exodus material that’s hard to find in ARC Raiders, but you’ll need to retrieve at least one to complete the new quests.

With a View is one of the seven new quests added as part of the Headwinds update, and you’ll need to find the Rotary Encoder to complete one of the tasks. This guide will help you reduce the randomness so you can save some time and energy.

Best Rotary Encoder locations in ARC Raiders

The Rotary Encoder’s base drop rate is low to begin with. Moreover, its exact drop location will be completely random and depend on map rotation. I found one so far in the Medical Storage area of Stella Montis. However, there are other high-tier loot areas you can look for.

The image above has all possible locations from where you can potentially find the Rotary Encoder. Once again, they will be hidden in containers and cases, and you might have to raid a few before you find one. Also, the Rotary Encoder can be found only on the Stella Montis map, as it doesn’t spawn elsewhere.

Once you find one, you can refer to this With a View quest guide for finishing the tasks and getting all the available rewards.

How to use the Rotary Encoder in ARC Raiders

The Rotary Encoder is a quest item required to complete the With a View quest. You’ll need to put it in a computer and then proceed along the questline. Aside from the quest, there’s sadly not much use for this material.

It’s not a crafting ingredient, so you don’t need it in any recipe. However, you can choose to recycle it for Electrical Components and Processor. As an alternative, you can sell it for 3000 coins if you’re short on cash.

The Headwinds update has dropped different types of Rubber Ducks that you can find in ARC Raiders, and getting them could certainly make you pretty wealthy.

Rubber Ducks have always been a popular item among the playerbase, despite not having any practical use. The Headwinds update has added more types to collect, so let’s find out how.

All Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders

As of writing, there are seven types of collectible Rubber Ducks you can find in ARC Raiders. This is based on the types that the community and I have discovered. If there are more, I will add them to this guide.

• Rubber Duck (Common)
• Tropical Duck (Uncommon)
• Gentle Duck (Uncommon)
• Alien Duck (Uncommon)
• Doodly Duck (Rare)
• Flashy Duck (Rare)
• Familiar Duck (Epic)

The process of obtaining all types of Rubber Ducks is the same. However, the ones that are rare will be harder to find.

How to get Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders

To find Rubber Ducks, you’ll have to wait for the Bird City map modifier. This map modifier, released as part of the Headwinds update, will be exclusively available for the Buried City map. When the modifier is active, you’ll have to search the chimneypots.

If you’re lucky, you can find Rubber Ducks among the items that spawn at the chimneypots. To collect, just search the bird nests.

What do with the Rubber Ducks in ARC Raiders

All types of Rubber Ducks that you can find are considered trinkets. You can stack up to 15 of each type in your stash, and then sell them for trinkets. The rarer a Duck, the more money you’ll get from your sales.

Hence, you can make plenty of money by finding at least a few of them on your raids in Buried City.
