How to get Surveyor Vault in ARC Raiders

The demand for Surveyor Vault in ARC Raiders has gone up ever since the first Expedition project kicked off on Dec. 22, and you’re going to need plenty of them.

The Surveyor Vault is required as an upgrade material for the Medical Lab. While you might have kept all your upgrades intact, you’ll still have to build them with the correct resources. This guide will help you find the best spots possible to find this specific item.

Best locations to find Surveyor Vault in ARC Raiders

The only known way to find a Surveyor Vault is by taking down Surveyors. You’ll find the Surveyor on every map. My favorite locations are Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, and Stella Montis. The Surveyor will only attack if it becomes aware of your presence. You’ll need to wait for it to become stationary since its core will then be exposed.

It’s pretty easy to take down a Surveyor when its core is exposed. However, you’ll want to do so from a distance, as it can alert your position to nearby ARCs. You can also use one of your teammates to bait it out while you can shoot at its core. Try to carry heavy weapons as they’re ideal to shred the armor of the Surveyor.

The Dam Battlegrounds appear to have the most spots when it comes to Surveyor spawns. I have marked a few of the locations where I have found them. You can try out the Ruby Residence, as this specific spot also spawns plenty of keys.

The Lobby area on Stella Montis is another great spot to come across different Surveyors (but their spawn rates will vary across raids). You can also possibly find them at the Medical Research and Assembly Workshop areas.

You can also find them on Buried City, Spaceport, and Blue Gate, but these maps can be harder to survive. Additionally, you can also find Surveyor Vault from ARC Couriers. However, it’s not guaranteed, and ARC Couriers spawn randomly on the maps. Hence, it’s best not to rely on this method.

ARC Performance Steel is one of the hardest items to find in ARC Raiders, as you’ll have to take down specific enemies.

Unlike most items in ARC Raiders, ARC Performance Steel can’t be obtained from looting containers or other areas. Instead, you can only obtain the item after taking down certain ARC enemies that you can come across on any map.

This guide will help you pinpoint which ARCs you should take down to gain ARC Performance Steel.

Best way to get ARC Performance Steel in ARC Raiders

To find ARC Performance Steel, you’ll need to take down any of the following ARCs.

• Leaper
• Bastion
• Bombardier
• The Queen
• Matriarch
• ARC Probes

Barring the last one, all five ARCs mentioned on the list are dangerous enemies that you should be extremely careful about. Here’s where you can find these heavy ARCs.

Leaper

• Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Red Lakes Balcony, Red Lakes
• Buried City: Buried Properties, Plaza Rosa
• Spaceport: Launch Towers, Arrival and Departure Buildings
• Blue Gate: Warehouse Complex, Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade

Bastion

• Dam Battlegrounds: Hydrophonic Complex
• Buried City: Market Ruins, Library, Piazza Arbusto
• Spaceport: Arrival and Departure Buildings, Container Storage, Fuel Lines
• Blue Gate: Checkpoint, Outer Gates

Bombardier

• Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Primary Facility
• Buried City: Marano Park, Main Street
• Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance, Arrival Building, South Trench Tower, Container Storage
• Blue Gate: Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade, Raider’s Refuge

The Queen

• Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes
• Spaceport: Staff Parking
• Blue Gate: Middle of Checkpoint and Trapper’s Glade

Matriarch

• Dam Battlegrounds: The Breach
• Spaceport: Launch Towers
• Blue Gate: Headhouse

The Queen and Matriarch will only spawn under specific map conditions. While the Matriarch has its own special map condition, The Queen only spawns during a Harvester map condition.

The rest of the ARCs can spawn in areas that aren’t mentioned here. However, I have listed the spots where I have almost always encountered them on raids. Taking them down will almost guarantee an ARC Performance Steel.

If you don’t want to take the risks, you can always try your luck with ARC Probes. You’ll occasionally come across them during raids. However, opening an ARC Probe doesn’t guarantee you a Performance Steel, so you might need to find several of them.
