Industrial Batteries are a Rare item in ARC Raiders that you need 3 in total for the Gear Bench Level 3 upgrade, and one is also required for Stage 2 of the Flickering Flames project, or you can recycle them into Batteries and Chemicals if you’d rather break one down. Although Industrial Batteries are declared as Rare loot, knowing exactly where to sweep and which specific containers to loot will save you hours in your raids. If you’re finding it hard to farm them, I’ve put together this guide to show you where to find Industrial Battery so you can stop wasting time and get back to the action.
How to Find Industrial Batteries in ARC Raiders
Industrial Batteries spawn inside Industrial loot zones shown by the circular factory icon on your map. Avoid Buried City when looking for these batteries, as its industrial density is too low to be worth your time. Check rusted containers you can break open, red lockers, metal shelves, and carts. You can also find them in cars and buses across every map.
Best Industrial Battery Locations on Dam Battlegrounds
Dam Battlegrounds is where I’d start, as it has the most spots to check thanks to high-density points of interest right next to each other. Loot through the Scrap Yard, but don’t sleep on the wrecked vehicles. Searching under the hoods of abandoned cars, trucks, and buses across the Yard yields a very high drop rate for Industrial Batteries. Run it a couple of times if it’s empty, since another raider may have looted it before you do.
Northwest of the Scrap Yard is the Hydroponic Dome Complex, split into multiple domes. Loot the lockers (particularly the red wall locker), breachable containers, and metal shelves in each dome, as this place almost always guarantees at least one Industrial Battery per run. Some of my best runs gave me multiple Industrial Batteries from here. Then you can head to the Power Generation Complex located just northeast of the Hydroponic Dome Complex, making it easy to hit both in a single raid. Once there, comb through the generator halls, utility carts, and lower machinery floors for shelf drops.
Best Industrial Battery Locations on Spaceport
Spaceport has plenty of Industrial zones and corridors, with raider hatches around for a quick exit and slightly less crowd than the Dam.
- Rocket Assembly: Solid Industrial cluster, though ARC patrols can make thorough shelf-checking a little chaotic.
- Shipping Warehouse & Container Storage: Rife with stackable containers, breach crates, and high-tier shelf spawns.
- Vehicle Maintenance: Check inside the garage bays and parked transports.
- Jiangsu Warehouse: On the northwestern side. The odds are low, but it’s a safer pick than the central areas.
Best Industrial Battery Locations on The Blue Gate
Warehouse Complex is a clean, dedicated industrial spot outside of Dam with tall shelving lanes and tool racks, so sprint through the main floor, check every level of the metal racks, and don’t forget to break open any supply boxes on the pallets. If the warehouse is too contested, head over to Adorned Wreckage as a backup.
Best Industrial Battery Locations on Stella Montis
Stella Montis is a bloodbath with regular player skirmishes and heavy ARC presence, like roaming Bastions. If you take the risk, the two-story Loading Bay has dense clusters of industrial containers and green bins that have decent drop rates. Because it’s such a war zone, Industrial Batteries only spawn in a few specific spots, so you’ll be taking a gamble every time you head out to loot.
It’s better to enter any map during a Night Raid, Cold Snap, or an Electromagnetic Storm if you struggle to find Industrial Batteries otherwise, as these map conditions increase spawn rates for high-tier loot across all Industrial areas, and once you have grabbed a battery or two, immediately stash it in your Safe Pocket. That way, even if you die or get pinned down by an ARC, you will walk away with your loot.
