What to expect from The Midnight Walkers

The Midnight Walkers is a hardcore PvPvE survival extraction title where you have to fight with the undead and rivals. There’s an option to play solo or in squads of three. The basic premise is simple: scavenge loot on your raids to get different gears and escape the undead. If you manage to extract, you’ll get to craft various items with your loot.

The action takes place in The Liberty Grand Center. Each floor has different themes and loot, and a poison gas system will gradually spread across random rooms. To survive, you’ll need to use the elevator and stairs. However, you’ll also need to loot the rooms to advance your progression.

The longer you stay alive, the better loot you’ll get. However, you’ll also raise the chances of facing opponents who will try to eliminate you. That is, if you manage to survive the environmental hazards and zombies.

With a recent surge in extraction shooters, it will be interesting to see whether The Midnight Walkers can delight fans.

Expired Respirator might not be a new item in ARC Raiders, but the demand for it has gone up after the Headwinds update went live.

The Trophy Display project, added as part of the Headwinds update, requires you to find and submit Expired Respirators. Doing so will earn you different rewards that might be immensely beneficial for your in-game grind.

While there’s an element of randomness associated with how you can find, this guide will help raise the odds of your success.

Best Expired Respirator locations in ARC Raiders

There’s no fixed area where you’re guaranteed to find Expired Respirators. However, it’s a medical equipment that can typically be found in commercial areas. I usually used to find this item in different spots of the Buried City. The Hospital is a POI that seems to have the highest chances of success.

Another great spot is the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. The spot, located in the southern part of the map, can also help you with a few Expired Respirators. That said, it ultimately depends on your luck.

If you’re on the Spaceport or the Blue Gate map, I will concentrate on hitting the Commercial and Residential areas. You’ll want to go carefully through all the containers and other breachable spots that you might find.

How to use Expired Respirators in ARC Raiders

As of writing, the most important use of the Expired Respirators is to complete the second stage of the Trophy Display project. You’ll need to submit three of these items once you’ve unlocked Stage 2. Doing so will get you three Photoelectric Cloak, and bring you one step closer to unlocking the final rewards.

Once done, you can recycle Expired Respirators to get four Fabric and eight Rubber Parts. Both items are staples for several crafting recipes, and you should stack them as much as possible.
