In the expansive world of ARC Raiders, players can explore a variety of maps, particularly within the Rust Belt, which is divided into four unique regions. One compelling location is the Raider’s Refuge, situated in the northwest section of the Blue Gate map. Here, players encounter a locked cellar door that guards access to a basement filled with high-value loot, including rare Epic and Legendary items that are highly sought after.
To open the cellar door and unlock its potential treasures, players must locate four hidden buttons scattered throughout the area. These buttons can be found both inside and outside the Raider’s Refuge building, but their placement is randomized with each gaming session. Therefore, understanding their most common locations can significantly ease the quest to unlock the door.
As players embark on this journey, they should be aware that Raider’s Refuge is often bustling with raider and ARC Machine activity. Anticipate encounters with Rocketeers, Snitches, Wasps, Hornets, Spotters, and Bombardiers, as well as potential dangers like turrets installed within the main building. It’s wise to tread carefully, as these threats can complicate travel and exploration.
Now let’s dive into the button locations that will allow access to this coveted loot. Here’s a breakdown of the most frequently encountered button placements around Raider’s Refuge:
-
First Common Location: You might find a button directly in front of the cellar door to the right or on the ground near the entrance. Check both between the planks and the wall of the doorway as well.
-
Second Common Location: Look in front of the generator or next to the doorway. Some players have also spotted buttons on the AC units above the outdoor space, requiring a zipline from inside the building to reach.
-
Third Common Location: Players can explore the upper level of Raider’s Refuge and drop down through the collapsed ceiling. Buttons can often be found hidden beneath the floorboards or behind furniture, like chairs or shelves.
-
Fourth Common Location: A button might be located high on broken structures, reachable via a zipline, or found near the bin that players can breach and search.
-
Fifth Common Location: Head toward the watchtower to find buttons either on the overhang or at the top of the tower, which can be accessed by a zipline or ladder.
-
Sixth Common Location: Inside the entrance area, one button can be hidden under fallen steel panels.
-
Seventh Common Location: Check the damaged roof area of Raider’s Refuge, where buttons can be hidden among the tiles or makeshift metal plates.
-
Eighth Common Location: Nearby, the ruins of a house to the north might have button spawns, adding another layer of exploration for players.
-
Ninth Common Location: In the southeast direction, you can find button spawns in the ruins of two houses, one featuring a basement with a button nearby a metal cage.
After successfully activating all four buttons and witnessing the bulbs light up in green, you’ll unlock the cellar door to the Raider’s Refuge basement. Inside, treasure awaits: chests filled with Epic crafting materials, powerful weapon blueprints, and the chance to find Epic and Legendary weapons.
Once you’ve gathered the loot, make sure to extract quickly to secure your valuable finds and return them to Speranza. Happy hunting in ARC Raiders!
