Electronics
WIPUse Case
Mid and late workshop upgrades, utility gear
Less common than mechanical parts. Prioritize when found, especially before a workshop session.
Fabric
WIPUse Case
Storage upgrades, armor prep
Generally lower priority unless you have specific storage or armor goals. Easy to overlook.
Medical Supplies
WIPUse Case
Healing, medical workshop upgrades
Always worth picking up. Keeps you alive in extended raids and feeds medical upgrade paths.
Weapon Parts
WIPUse Case
Weapon maintenance, workshop weapon upgrades
Useful for weapon-focused upgrade paths. Priority increases when planning a weapon maintenance upgrade session.
Utility Components
WIPUse Case
Utility gear upgrades, extraction kit prep
Feeds utility and extraction-focused upgrade paths. Worth collecting if utility items are part of your loadout strategy.
Salvage Materials
WIPUse Case
Early workshop upgrades, storage, general crafting
Very common in ruins and abandoned structures. High supply makes it a reliable baseline resource.
Rare Mechanical Components
Needs VerificationUse Case
Advanced workshop upgrades — starter placeholder name, verify in-game
Higher-tier version of common mechanical parts. Rarer and more valuable for late-game upgrade paths. Name may differ in-game.
Advanced Electronics
Needs VerificationUse Case
Late workshop upgrades — starter placeholder, verify in-game
Uncommon and valuable. Hold onto these for late-game workshop sessions rather than selling immediately.
Trader Request Item (Generic)
Needs VerificationUse Case
Completing trader requests for rewards
Specific trader request items vary and change. Always check your active trader requests before a raid and prioritize these over general loot.
High-Value Trade Item (Generic)
Needs VerificationUse Case
Selling or trading for currency / better items
Some loot has better value sold than kept. Identify these early in a raid session — they vary by trader availability and current rates.
Utility Consumable
Needs VerificationUse Case
Single-use utility during raids
General placeholder for utility consumables. Actual item names and types depend on current game version.
This is a planning reference, not a complete item database. Item names, priorities, and use cases may change as ARC Raiders updates. Always verify with current in-game data.
How to Use Loot Notes
Search for any item name or use case. Filter by category to focus on a specific type of loot. Priority labels are general planning guides — your actual priorities will depend on your current workshop goals and trader requests.
Loot planning strategy
Before each raid, check your active trader requests and workshop upgrade goals. Items that serve multiple purposes — such as electronics that are used in both workshop upgrades and utility gear — are generally worth picking up even when not specifically targeted.
Data accuracy
Item names and categories here are generalized for planning purposes. In-game item names may differ. Items marked Needs Verification are especially subject to change.
