Looting is the name of the game in ARC Raiders. And while it’s fun to loot every single container you come across, special drops and stashes will net you a lot more for a lot less trouble.
That’s where Supply Drops come in, alongside other special-issue loot containers like Field Depots. As opposed to the latter, Supply Drops are much easier to obtain and can net you a good chunk of extra items and resources, as well as complete a quest for you.
So, here’s everything you need to know about ARC Raiders‘ Supply Drops.
What are Supply Drops in ARC Raiders and how can you get them?
Supply Drops are, as the name implies, big boxes of goodies that players can call in and loot at various locations around each of the game’s maps. They contain a random amount of random-rarity items, including Quick Use Items (healing, shield regen, grenades, etc.), Ammunition, and Weapons. If you’re near any of the Supply Call Stations required to, well, call them in, you might as well do it as there’s no downside.
Except for maybe exposing yourself to the entire map.
To get a Supply Drop you need to visit a Supply Call Station, represented by an Antenna on the game’s map. There are 10 Call Stations on the Dam Battlegrounds, the first map in ARC Raiders, and their positions are fixed and do not change between runs. This means you can always rush the nearest Call Station and get yourself some extra loot, so long as no enemy interrupts you.
Simply approach a Call Station and press the “Use” key to put the call in, and after about 45 seconds, you will have received the drop. This is a mandatory action for completing the A Better Use quest, that itself nets you additional rewards.
