[Ark Raiders]Super detailed guide with maps of all 6 Dam battlefield field storage locations! Thorough explanation of crate transportation tips, efficient route, and reward maximization techniques

ARC Raiders is a PvE cooperative extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios that has gained enthusiastic support around the world. The appeal of this game lies in the intense exploration and combat, as well as the rich collection of resources. In particular, the initial map, Dam Battlefield, is a recommended area for everyone from beginners to advanced players.

Therefore, in this article, we will thoroughly explain all six field storage locations scattered around the dam battlefield using high-precision map descriptions and detailed access methods.

Field storage is an essential goal for early quests, and is also an essential facility for daily farming. In addition to receiving rewards by bringing in field crates that have fallen nearby, you can also progress your quest by repairing the antenna. By using this guide, you can shorten the clear time and obtain rare weapons efficiently. Let's take a closer look.

What is field storage? Complete manual of basic information and usage

What does a field storage look like and how to identify it?

Field storage is characterized as a small cylindrical building with a long antenna on the roof. It is a rectangular structure covered with a blue tarp, and an icon will automatically appear when you approach the map. The interior is small, and the blue-lit installation area is a landmark. There are 6 fixed locations on the Dam Battlefield, and there are no random spawns.

Main uses of field storage

1. Collection and transportation of field crates:

   1-2 rectangular field crates will spawn around each storage (within a 50m radius).
   Lift the crate with both hands (hold down the E key). This will reduce your movement speed and prevent you from using weapons.
   When placed in the blue glowing area inside the storage room, the door will open and the locker inside will be unlocked.
   Importantly, you can carry multiple crates in one raid and earn rewards as many times as you like. Crates spawn right after the raid starts, so acting early is key.

2. Antenna repair (for Quest):

   Climb onto the roof (ladder or jump) and interact with the antenna.
   The quest progresses (e.g. radar avoidance) when repairs are completed. It counts even if you die.

Detailed list of reward details

Field Vault rewards tend to be of higher rarity than regular loot gathering. The main drop examples are summarized in the table.

Reward category	Specific example	Appearance rate (estimate)	remarks
weapon	Il Toro Shotgun, Anvil Hand Cannon, Raptor AR	High (30-50%)	It is a rare weapon of the strongest class in the early stages. Il Toro has unparalleled strength in the close range.
ammunition	9mm/5.56mm full magazine, special bullets	Medium (40%)	Immediate replenishment increases survival rate.
grenade	flag, incendiary	Medium (20%)	Active in ARC team battles.
consumables	medkit, armor plate	Low (10%)	Suitable for long stays.

These rewards are random, but the quality increases with higher difficulty raids. We recommend stable acquisition through team play rather than solo.

Points to note and risk management

• Weakness while carrying: Using both hands makes you vulnerable. ARC (Leaper and Bomber) can easily approach you, so be sure to use cover.
• Enemy appearance: Medium-sized enemy groups (Raptor packs) often appear around the storage area. Make sure to clear it in advance.
• Extract: After getting the reward, use the nearby Exophile.

3 efficient route routes: Conquer them all to get huge rewards!

Route 1: Solo high-speed lap (15 minutes, emphasis on safety)

1. ⑥Start → ⑤ → ④ → Rest Exo → Next raid ② → ①

The total reward is 3-4 crates. Concentrating on the south will make it easier to avoid enemies.

Route 2: Full Team Coverage (25 minutes, maximum reward)

1. North ①② → Central ③④ → South ⑤⑥ → Central Exo

The work will be carried out simultaneously with shared transportation. This is a rough guide to double the probability of Il Toro.

Route 3: Quest specialization (10 minutes)

One optional repair + crate. ⑥ is strongly recommended.

This allows you to spin more than 10 times in an hour. Please use drone reconnaissance together.

Related quest strategy: Radar avoidance complete clear guide

“Radar avoidance” (Shani quest, reward: large amount of XP + blueprint)

1. Invade the dam battlefield.
2. Arrive at any field storage (⑥ recommended).
3. Climb the roof → repair the antenna (10 seconds).
4. Automatic clear (death OK).

“Down to Earth” (Fieldwork)

1. Collect crates x3.
2. Set up storage.
3. Complete with reward confirmation.

Failure factors include death during transportation → crate drop. Please have backup personnel available.

Advanced Tips & Tricks: Pro Farming Techniques

• Optimal loadout: Il Toro (melee) + Raptor (medium range), 2 Medi. A silencer is required.
• Enemy countermeasures: Leaper in the south – grenades, Bomber in the north – high ground shooting.
• Solo Tip: Clean up the surrounding area before crating. Please sneak up on me without making a sound.
• Team Tips: 1 person is a transporter, 2 people are an escort, and 1 person is a scout.
• Utilize the entire dam battlefield: Hunt weapon cases (blueprint sources) near the storage area at the same time.
